Winter Garden

I called the Winter Garden number listed, which transfers to Encore, Thousand Trails reservations 888-07-1477.  They were very helpful to inform me that there are only RV sites at this location. Tent camping 27 miles away at Tropical Palms.

We stayed here while going to Universal. It was grassy. No security. We kept tripping the 30A breaker with AC on and a hot plate or microwave. But in the end price seemed reasonable for what it was. They did have a note saying electric lines were being improved and power may intermittently go out.

If you never stayed at an Encore Park in Florida, this is as average as it gets for them.  Tight sites, older infrastructure.

There is a tight community here and if you are spending your TT max of 2 weeks, and you want to be, you can be integrated into the community.  Our kid busted his butt for folks and made $100 in 2 weeks helping people.  

As others have said, we walked to downtown Winter Garden and love the small town.  We go back even when at other parks in the area.  Lots of traffic on 50 so, be aware if you can't sleep with noises, you need another location.

This place is a balance depending on what you are looking for in your experience.  As full-timers, we enjoy stopping by when we can but, we won't go out of our way to get a spot here.

First time Rv’ing and ended up in this park with my family. The place, including restrooms and showers are fairly clean. People I met here are nice, so was the staff on the phone. Very close to orlando, certainly not a nature retreat.

We loved being close enough to ride our bikes to downtown Winter Garden. The kids enjoyed ice cream, the bike trail, and the splash pad, all while the parents enjoyed the brewing company and coffee shop (Axum). As for the campground, everything is shut down because of COVID, no playground access, no group campfires, no activities, and only 1 of the 2 pools are open with limited hours and capacity. Also, we were there for the 4th of July and there were no decorations, no socially distant activities, it felt unpatriotic. The lots themselves though were spacious with a paved area to park your vehicle.
