Tropical Palms RV Resort

This park has a mix of sites at different prices. I was impressed with the communication from management via text. Some sites are excellent and some just ok. The back right corner is in grass/mud and looked like full time RVs. We enjoyed the pickleball court, fitness room and laundry. We would stay here again but would request a different site.

The staff here does a great job, they are friendly and the park is well maintained.
Thousand Trails spots are just grass and close together, but we had enough room to enter and exit easily.

Pros:
- Great staff
- Beautiful, heated pool
- Nice mini golf, shuffle board, bocce ball and corn hole
- Upgraded sites are nice with concrete pads and fire rings
- Pretty landscaping
- 2 Dog parks
- They are building a beautiful deck by the pond
- Club house
- Friendly people

Cons:
- Some noise from outside the campground from road, theme park and helicopters but the campground itself is quiet.
- Club house and hall close by early evening
- No hot tub
- Some sites are just a grassy area surrounded by other campers

Nous sommes arrivés sur le fly et honnêtement wow ! C’est comme un petit resort ! Les gens sont tous sympathique. Le camping dispose de plusieurs airs de divertissement ! Idéal pour les enfants ! Je n’ai que du positif à dire ! On entends les feux de wall disney au loin mais sinon c’est vraiment bien ! Merci pour le beau séjour

We arrived on the fly and honestly wow! It’s like a little resort! The people are all friendly. The campsite has several entertainment areas! Ideal for children! I only have positive things to say! We can hear the lights of Wall Disney in the distance but otherwise it’s really good! Thank you for the lovely stay

The park is really nice and well maintained. There is a pool, mini golf, shuffleboard, corn hole, two rec center buildings, two dog parks, a volleyball court, one of the nicest campground gyms that weve seen, probably the nicest campground laundry rooms as well, a fun playground, and just an all around tropical vibe. We had a lot of great nights biking and walking around the campground. Its located behind Old Town and a quick bike ride or even walk will get you there. Great hook ups, good internet connection on our hotspots and close to all that Orlando has to offer. We'll definitely be back!

Pros:
- only stayed here for a night, and got in at dark, but seemed to have good amenities

Cons:
- Tight, tight, tight! Tight driveways and corners. Tight pads. We drive a 40ft Class and if someone parks there car slightly into the driveway area, makes getting in and out of your spot hairy.
- No free WiFi. And we had no cell service. You could buy WiFi through third party, but seemed like a hassle. Just another way the Orlando complex makes money.
- Trees not trimmed. My biggest pet peeve for an RV park is when they don’t trim their tree limbs. We’re at 13’ and hit a few tree limbs driving to our spot
- Muddy! Not their fault entirely since it’s Florida and it was raining all day. But it was a mess setting up.
- Expensive. It was a Wannabe Disney Wilderness and for the price, I wouldn’t stay here again. Maybe all Orlando RV parks are like this because they can gouge you. But I’ll take my chances elsewhere.

I am not a negative person and not one to start drama because I hate confrontation. So I’m not writing this for that, only to warn people what to expect. This campground is nice and conveniently located to all things Disney. However, I am super disappointed with the whole thousand trails/encore company. Our truck broke down on the way to Florida and we had to be in the area for my husbands job. We had tried to get an RV site but there was nothing so we booked a cabin in an encore property (2 hrs away from his job). We shortened our stay from 3 months to 2, paid an insane amount of money and all was good. We have been here a month already and the office called and said they did an “audit” on our account and we now owe them almost $1000 because they “accidentally” gave us the wrong rate. They were “sorry for the inconvenience.” So now we’re out 6K total to stay in a cabin that is sub par at best. We have tried multiple times to speak to a manager but they are always conveniently never around. And when I finally got in touch, they hung up on me.

I am sorry to even say anything and it is not like me but the customer service and the runaround we’ve been given is not okay. It’s just not right. This is not the first time this has happened. Every time is a headache.

Thousand trails is such an amazing tool for families on the road but needs a major overhaul in how it is ran. If you read this far thank you. If you’re looking at thousand trails to strictly save money then it’s fine, but if you want good customer service, morals, a good experience, and quality then it may not be for you.

You can order WiFi for $20/week from Fastwave but the front desk said it was spotty so we relied on Verizon which was only 2 bars and less than 5 MBS. I can hear the freeway at night but it’s tolerable and most campers are very quiet. The LOCATION is the main benefit since it is close to all the Disney parks. It’s packed in tight but there are some trees yo look at. I think you can pay extra to have a concert pad site.when I called to reserve I was not offered a choice. You are not allowed yo pick your site ahead of time. It feels safe with a 24/7 security at the front and a card to lift the crossing arm.
