Thousand Trails and Encore RV Resorts Shine at 2026 Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Awards

In an impressive demonstration of quality and guest satisfaction, Thousand Trails and Encore RV resorts are thrilled to announce that 23 of their properties were honored with the esteemed 2026 Tripadvisor® Travelers' Choice Award. This award recognizes the top 10% of listings based on traveler reviews, pointing to the exceptional experiences provided by these outdoor vacation destinations.

Among those acknowledged, Encore Tranquility Lakes made a notable entrance into the awards after just one full year in operation. Nestled in Cape Coral, Florida, this remarkable 200-acre lakefront resort offers a wealth of amenities tailored for recreational vehicle (RV) enthusiasts. Guests can enjoy 500 full-hookup RV sites, a refreshing swimming pool, and even a lap pool. For those who enjoy sports, the resort includes 10 pickleball courts and features a sprawling 10,000-square-foot clubhouse. This clubhouse serves as a social hub, complete with a fitness center, gaming rooms, and ample outdoor dining spaces that provide picturesque views of the surrounding lakes.

In addition to Encore Tranquility Lakes, several other resorts maintained their legacy of excellence. Harbor View, located in Colonial Beach, Virginia, took home its 10th consecutive award, while Oakzanita Springs in Descanso, California, and Gettysburg Farm in Dover, Pennsylvania, each celebrated their remarkable 11-year streak of recognition.

Heidi Sullivan, vice president of marketing for Thousand Trails and Encore, expressed pride in these accolades, stating, "Earning the Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice award across 23 of our campground resorts is an incredible honor that highlights the unforgettable, positive memories our guests make with every visit. This recognition truly belongs to our passionate on-site teams, whose commitment to outstanding service ensures our guests enjoy exceptional experiences."

The Travelers' Choice award is no small feat. To be eligible, properties must have been listed on Tripadvisor for at least 12 months and achieve a significant number of reviews over the evaluation period. A consistent high rating is also required to ensure that these locations remain among the favorites of travelers.
