Even since the new roadway has been completed we are still able to enjoy the peacefulness of the park with birds chirping, crickets cricking and nice quiet neighbors.

The manager, Jack, will do everything possible to make sure your stay is a great experience as well as Kathy and Jeany in the office. They are phenomenal and will welcome you with a smile when you interact with them. BTW, that is my unit in the attached picture.

We decided to stay here because of the location to some of the shopping and attractions my wife wanted to do while there! * Definitely like how close it is to everything. * The staff has been nice during our once meeting during checkin. Since then I haven't had the need to go to the office for anything. * It's definitely NOT a resort. * We didn't use any of the pools because it was cold but the park does have two nice pools. * Our site was decent and somewhat level and quiet. Overall we will definitely comeback to Encore Winter Garden!

I've been here almost a week, and honestly, this place is giving "we tried... kind of?" energy…read more They claim the bathrooms are cleaned twice a day, but one morning I went to shower and the building was closed from 8-9 a.m. for "cleaning." I walked all the way back, waited, went in... and there was hair all over the sinks. If it takes an entire hour to clean a bathroom and you still miss the most obvious thing in the room, I have questions. The showers have a tiny bench but no hooks and no shelves, so you basically have to choose between putting your stuff on the wet floor or juggling it like a circus act. And the laundry room? Supposed to open at 8 a.m. I hauled all my laundry down there, only to find it locked at almost 8:30. Nothing like standing outside with a basket of dirty clothes. Nothing like starting your day hauling dirty laundry back and forth several times. Calling the office doesn't help much either. You get prompts that don't lead to a real person. They call you back though. Not sure when. I missed that call. There are also several abandoned campers and full‑time residents with garbage scattered around their sites, which really adds to the ambiance. Overall, I liked it at first but the bathroom/laundry times are quite a pain. So unless you enjoy mystery cleaning routines, unreliable laundry access, and a scavenger‑hunt‑style approach to basic amenities I don't recommend it. Update. I was able to get into laundry room at 9am. Stopped into the bathroom before the walk back because it just reopened from being cleaned for an hour. Took pictures this time. Also I forgot to mention the bathrooms are locked with keypads during the day but propped open at night with video surveillance signs. I don't know what happens in the bathrooms and laundry they need surveillance and have to close the laundry at night but it can't be good.

Homes with junk, people staying that aren't on the lease, there is illegal dumping by the railroad tracks, it's not southern palms property, so I get they can't do anything about it, but the person who did it was staying with a resident without permission. Now he's in a tent camping and no one does anything. Felons live here, it's truly become a trailer park. when my business lease is up, we are moving. If I can't sell my place, I'm having it taken apart and hauled off. Not paying lot rent on something that's going to be hard to sell because who wants to buy into a park where management doesn't even enforce their own rules. No longer a MHP, it's a trailer park. Drug users and addicts and the police have been in my neighborhood so many times. I am a low key chilled out person, so for me to be pissed, it takes a lot. I am at my wits end with this place. It could be so nice if they would only ENFORCE their own rules.

The springs themselves are stunning--clear, clean, and so relaxing to swim in. If you're not in the water, there are also walking trails where you can enjoy nature and get some fresh air. They offer kayaking as well, which is such a fun way to explore the area and take in the scenery. There's also a snack bar on-site, which is super convenient if you want to grab something quick without leaving. Whether you're going for a relaxing day or something a little more active, Wekiva Springs has a little bit of everything. Highly recommend checking it out!
