What Guests Are Saying

Encore Pioneer Village has a mix of experiences. While some guests praise the well-kept park, cleanliness, and helpful maintenance staff, others report unfriendly office staff and a lack of family activities. Check-in procedures can be confusing, and some guests express frustration over narrow roads and difficult maneuvering. Overall, the park may suit some visitors, especially those seeking a quiet, clean environment, but families might find it less welcoming.

Many friends begged us to not visit this park. We had no choice as it was the only park with availability in Florida for the time we needed. The staff is extremely rude and unfriendly. Except the maintenance staff. They are nice. My daughter, her friend, and I were made to feel unwelcome at the pool. I recieved very dirty looks and rude comments that two 12 year old middle school girls wanted to swim. How dare the audacity that I bring two children to the pool. We did not go back to the pool the remainder of our stay. My daughter inquired about the Canadian potluck being held and asked if our family could sign up yet. The office staff were very rude and snotty to her and informed my daughter that it was for Canadians only. So we did not attend any activities. We felt unwelcome and unwanted. However we did like the spot where we were put. It was in the M section. If we ever need to return to this location, the only way we would is if the staff were more accommodating and friendly and we were made to feel welcomed. I do not recommend families because of how we were treated by staff and annuals. Your office staff needs friendlier people who care about their guests needs. Also there are zero activities for families and cater to only Canadians. When we come to parks, we'd at least like to be welcome. This park is for emergency only.

First off, DO NOT FOLLOW the emails they send you almost daily before getting here, do not print out a vehicle tag either(waste of your ink and paper) for they will give you one.
You MUST stop at the office to check in, there is no “I am here” once you are at your site. I was lectured after I followed the email directions and didn’t stop at the office till afterwards.
Otherwise the campground seems nice.

We love it at Encore Pioneer RV Village. The folks in the office came through and helped me out in a pinch. I look forward to coming back again. Park is well kept, sites are good and updated. Thank you for the help and the great service.

My cousin lives here and I come visit every year when I'm on Vacation. It's very clean, quiet, lots of indoor and outdoor activities. I love the pool.

I'm stuck here for the week because I can't move until Sunday due to work, unfortunately, otherwise I would have just immediately left upon arriving.

My check in paperwork was not where it was supposed to be, I had to call the after hours number and they gave me what has got to be the hardest to navigate my camper into spot that I've ever had to pull into after asking for information about my camper that they ALREADY HAD because I not only had a reservation but I had also talked to someone in the office last week before making the booking.

Not only is the spot incredibly small and impossible to pull forward into fron the small one way behind it, but it's also directly across from a power pole on the other side that really decreases the area to maneuver a truck in order to back a camper trailer in.

The roads are incredibly narrow and packed, while trying to circle around to see if I COULD pull through instead of backing in I couldn't make a turn around someone's car parked in their own driveway, and had to back out and circle around.

Idk what the point of one way roads are here, because I'm still sitting in my truck after FINALLY winning the struggle to back into this godawful spot and there's been at least two vehicles driving out the wrong way.

I've been here for less than an hour and I would be GONE if I didn't have to wait until the end of my work week.

Also, yesterday I got the notification that this place doesn't even have working showers or toilets in their bathhouse rn. Something that MAYBE they should have thought to notify me about upon booking.

Seriously, this is the worst RV park experience of my life and, I want to reiterate, I've been here for less than an hour. I cannot wait to leave.

Update: it's 930 pm, I'm trying to sleep, and it sounds like some dogs were fighting in one of the trailers nearby or something and MY dog is now very upset about it. 🙃

Update # 2: Was woken up just after 5 by more dogs losing their minds, and again around 6. And at 750 am, a train loudly passes. This is not a place to relax or unwind. I'm working, so I can handle it for a few days, but if this was a vacation I would be pissed.
