Hello, Just found this great site today and am very glad you are here. We have just retired last month. Have bought a MH and are now anxious to use it. Have seen the raves for the Encore Parks in Florida and wonder if any of it is true? We are looking for someplace to stay in the winter to get away from the cold in Ohio. Thought we might try Florida and maybe Arizona this winter. Any special places you stay that you can recomend? Thanks for your help. Vicki
Vicki, This one may help you. Tropical Palms in Kissimmee, Fl. This is an Encore park. Sites are very clean and very nice. Lot of people down here for the winter months. This park is close to I-4 & Hwy.192 at "old town". Orlando and Walt Disney World are next door. Check out site here under Kissimmee and check out web site. Tons of places to eat and have fun. We vist this park alot. Enjoy the winter down here.
Encore Parks are generally pretty well organized and some are quite large. The one that comes to mind is in Port Charlotte on the Veteran's highway. It is huge, plenty of spaces, all of the amenities, well managed, not far from Wal-Mart, Sam's, winter ball park, scads of restaurants, and not a long way from the gulf and the beaches. Located on a 4 lane highway, with easy access from I-75 and other routes. Another is in Punta Gorda, smaller, smaller lots, but well managed. Has most of the amenities and very quiet.
Encore Park in Ormond Beach (Daytona Beach North) in Florida is nice, especially if you get one of their paved supersites. Park is well managed, quiet, and clean.
