Encore Harbor Lakes

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Wildlife enthusiasts will find plenty to observe at Encore Harbor Lakes, where alligators, birds, and rabbits frequent the lakeside setting in Port Charlotte. This established RV resort accommodates rigs up to 80 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for added convenience.

The campground mixes short-term RV sites with permanent trailers and mobile homes, creating a residential atmosphere that some find crowded. "Park was clean and orderly," notes Marji E., highlighting the well-maintained facilities. The large pool and hot tub serve as central gathering spots, while the shower facilities earn praise for cleanliness and size. Sites tend to be level and organized, though some RVs get positioned between permanent installations.

Office hours can be inconsistent according to visitor reports, so calling ahead helps ensure staff availability for check-in. The location provides easy highway access while managing to reduce road noise for most sites. Pets are welcome throughout the property.

Campers seeking additional options can explore camping spots around El Jobean or visit nearby Myakka River Motorcoach Resort. This resort works best for RVers who prioritize full amenities and don't mind a more developed, community-style camping environment.

Emergency overnight stay

We wanted to use our generator for camping to test it out, but it would not start. Had to have a RV park nearby and called, and booked a site within 10 minutes. Very pleased with the accommodations. Pool was great, neighbors were friendly and very helpful. Park was clean and orderly. Definitely would stay here again.

Just okay

The resort was mixed in with full timers and mobile homes. The rvs were shoved in between these homes and permanent spots. Some houses looked fairly junky. There was no security, which is the second time I’ve come across that on my travels. The pool was really big and beautiful, the hot tub nice, and the showers very clean. It is not close to the ocean (20 minutes) and was not our first choice. Probably wouldn’t return even though everyone was very friendly and kind.

Trailer park with RV spots

While I’m pissed is not the best time to write a review, but I’ll try to be fair.

Pool/ hot tub is nice . Shower facility was clean and decent sized. Lots of wildlife: birds, alligators, and rabbits. That’s where my positive review ends.

They wedged us into a spot between two permanent trailers which was disappointing, especially since there were open spots available.

Office hours were posted but rarely found it to be open, which was a little frustrating.

Most off putting thing was the experience I had while showering. I was finishing a nice 7-10 minute shower when guy that works for the place walks up, just outside the curtain and says, “man, you take long showers”. I can’t describe how uncomfortable and in appropriate that felt.

Thousand trails campground

We came back to Florida to retrive our car after a 3 month stay in New England. This campground was right down the road from where we needed to conduct our business. Well orgaized, clean, friendly staff and level campsites. What you expect from a TT campground. Very laid back campground. Easy in and out yet well maintained and secure. Even though its close to the highway, the setup eliminates most nosies to give you a restful nights sleep. We spent 8 nights there. Will post some pics in a coupel days, tons of pics to edit from road trip down from New England area.
