Description: Beautiful campground located around small manmade? lake. The majority of the sites are easy for large rigs to get into. Alot of activities, 2 nice pools and a hot tub. Manager & staff are very friendly.
Some may not like the freeway noise on the sites next to the freeway (if other sites are available, they will allow you to select another), we did not mind it and felt it was advantageous and easy to access for our sightseeing. There is a Walmart within 1/2 mile, plus alot of businesses and things to do close by such as Red Barn Flea Market (great fruits and vegetables), boating, etc.
Only minus-Tengo internet we purchased, very hit and miss. Dusk you need to be inside if near woods because of no-see-ums.

Pros: neat, clean, friendly staff and residents. Large lots. Great amenities. Right off I-75 easy access
Cons: Mostly back in sites with just a few pull-thru's. Some road noise from I-75 on west row of park

Very nice RV park. leaving in 2 day's after spending a total of 8 nights. Nice mix of park models, and movable RV's. will definitely stay here again in the future!

Pros: Excellent location. Clean and very attractive. Wonderful staff.
Cons: It was too expensive to stay there for any length of time. Biting no-seeums.

We loved this RV resort but it was a little too expensive for us. It's a large place and taking an evening walk around the lake was very pleasant. The landscaping has to be seen. There were many waterbirds on and by the lake. The people there are friendly and the place quiet. Those tiny biting gnats were the biggest negative there next to cost.

Screen rooms are allowed but there are no fire circles so bring your own BBQ grill.

We paid $500 for the week we stayed there. That was a little above our budget or we would have stayed another week.

Pros:
Cons:

I live here full time, a park model. Love this place. The snowbird gang keeps this place hopping during the winter months with various games, shows, activities, nearly every hour of every day. Activities include card games, dominos, board games, bingo, billiards, shuffleboard, line dancing classes, karaoke, bicycling, afternoon & evening parties often with outside entertainers, and more. Calgon Morning Glory fragrance after bath spray keeps the no-seeums away. Get it at WMT, about $5 for a big bottle. Let me know if any of you plan a visit!

Pros: Big rig friendly
Cons: see below

Stayed at Winter Quarters 15-18 February, 2014. First time at an Encore park. Was very disappointed at the following.
no cable TV. Cable post at site was rusted and obviously not used in some time.
no WIFI except at office area. Can buy if wanted. Any Good Sam or KOA have it throughout
Bathrooms were in need of repair/updating.
Appears that the management has "let things go" and have not updated in quite sometime..
