Overview

Encore Sunshine Travel is a campground-style property in the Florida Ridge area of Vero Beach, offering RV sites and cottages rather than traditional hotel rooms. It sits in a park-like setting near the Indian River, giving it a quieter, nature-oriented character compared to typical roadside lodging. The property has built a loyal following among long-term travelers and seasonal visitors passing through the Treasure Coast.

Accommodations

Guests can choose between RV sites for self-contained rigs and standalone cottages, making the property flexible for both road-trippers and those without their own vehicle setup. This mix supports both short stopovers and extended multi-month stays.

Amenities & Recreation

On-site recreation includes a swimming pool described by guests as warm and inviting, a fitness center, and organized games and activities for residents and visitors. Clean, well-kept shower, restroom, and laundry facilities are a notable feature, and an on-site butterfly garden adds a distinctive recreational touch mentioned repeatedly by guests.

Location & Surroundings

The campground is close to the Trans-Florida Central Rail Trail Pedestrian Overpass, just under a kilometer away, useful for walking or cycling. Farther afield, guests have access to a cluster of Treasure Coast attractions including Sebastian Inlet State Park, Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, the Environmental Learning Center, Mel Fisher's Treasures, McLarty Treasure Museum, and several beach parks such as Wabasso Beach and Treasure Shores Park, all within roughly 7 to 18 kilometers.

Best for

This property suits RV travelers, snowbirds, and long-term or seasonal visitors looking for a relaxed, community-oriented campground rather than a conventional hotel stay. It also appeals to nature and outdoor enthusiasts thanks to its proximity to wildlife refuges, state parks, and beach access points along the Treasure Coast. The on-site pool, fitness center, and organized activities make it a comfortable base for guests planning an extended stay in the area.

Travel tips

Having your own vehicle is recommended, since most attractions -- including Sebastian Inlet, the Environmental Learning Center, and area beaches -- are located roughly 7 to 18 kilometers away and best reached by car. The nearby Trans-Florida Central Rail Trail Pedestrian Overpass, less than a kilometer from the property, offers a convenient walking or biking route for those wanting to explore closer to the campground. Guests planning extended stays, as some reviewers have done for months at a time, should confirm site or cottage availability well in advance given the property's popularity with repeat visitors.
