11/22/2023 0 Comments Encore winter quarters![]() ![]() One day when sitting on beach we noticed we would get the urge to cough. The water is clear but Red Tide is a thing this time of year. We hit the beach several time with friend to chill and watch some cool sunsets. but when you et there plenty of parking at Manatee beach area with food, drinks and the free trolly stop as well. The beaches are not far but with traffic and traffic lights it take a bit. There if NO onsite recycling we could find and up by the trash container is a nice air pump to use for car/truck/MH tires. it did get cold and cloudy are well at times. There is the mix if annuals, snow birds here for winter and us travelers all having fun in the sun. Most of the sites have a paved section with picnic table and the FHU pedistal. ![]() Its not super tight but extra large rigs could have some backing issues but not horrible like other parks we have been in. The area inside the resort are well maintenance with trees and such. the area is surrounded by lovely homes and condos. The location is super close to Walmart and Costco both in walking and bike riding distance if you wanted to. 121 volts was great and water is decent with a 179 TDS and like <10 grains of hardness. We use 30 amp and the socket was warn but OK when i plugged in EMS box. BE sure to check the elec connection before connecting as some are in not so good shape. (est 6 months or so from Jan 2023?) The RV spots are overall OK, there is power, water and sewer hookups. The DOT is working on building a noise wall out front which will help with traffic noise a ton when complete. The universe wanted us to stay here and we are so glad we did.Here for the two weeks we get with TT with spot out my the interstate. We were so shocked at how well kept, clean, quiet and beautiful the park was. We did not originally choose this place to stay because the pictures on Google did not make the park look 1/2 as nice as it really is. No problem! They welcomed us in, asked us if we wanted to move spots or stay where we were and immediately ensured our trip would not be ruined with nowhere to stay! The staff was top notch and 5 stars all around. The staff in the office already knew our situation and that we were looking for an additional 8 nights to complete our family trip. We got hooked up for the night and went to the front desk in the morning. We were only minutes away and we were met at the front gate with a smile, paperwork, directions to our spot etc. He told us he had 1 spot that we could use for the night and to NOT sleep in the walmart parking lot (which is where we were going to end up). We called the emergency number and it was immediately answered. We started calling around and Winter Quarters was closed, but had an emergency number. What a pleasant surprise! Long story semi-short: We thought we had booked elsewhere and after traveling over 10 hours realized that we had indeed booked our intended spot.
