Thousand Trails campgrounds and Encore RV resorts announced that 55 of their properties received the 2025 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award.
Of the 55, four were first-time winners, including trendy hotspots Emerald Isle RV Resort off the coast of North Carolina and Whippoorwill Campground near Ocean City, New Jersey.
Nestled in the heart of North Carolina’s scenic Crystal Coast, first-time Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award winner Emerald Isle RV Resort offers a one-of-a-kind oceanfront camping experience for families and outdoor enthusiasts. With direct access to three beaches, a pool and splash pad, go-kart track and live music and events each weekend, there’s something for everyone to enjoy, making it an unforgettable camping destination, Thousand Trails and Encore RV said.
An additional dozen locations earned the award for at least five consecutive years, with Thousand Trails’ Whalers Rest (Oregon), Oakzanita Springs (California), Hershey (Pennsylvania) and Gettysburg Farm (Pennsylvania) each taking home the honor for an impressive 10th year in a row. Thousand Trails Orlando, the popular central Florida destination, continued its extraordinary streak, receiving the Tripadvisor recognition for the 11th consecutive year.
Tripadvisor collects customer reviews, ratings and saves shared by travelers across the globe and uses the information to spotlight top destinations with the Travelers’ Choice award. Travelers’ Choice recognizes businesses that earn consistently great reviews and according to Tripadvisor, only about 10% of businesses listed on the site receive a Travelers’ Choice award.
“It’s incredibly exciting to see 55 of our campground resorts honored with the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award, a recognition that reflects the amazing experiences our guests enjoy every day,” said Pat Zamora, vice president of marketing for Thousand Trails and Encore. “It’s a tribute to the dedication of our on-site teams, whose hard work and attention to customer service make it possible for our guests to create unforgettable memories during their stays.”
Guests can visit ThousandTrails.com to book RV sites, tent sites and a range of unique rental accommodations, including yurts, cabins, cottages, tiny houses and even tiny container houses, with a variety of features and amenities to complement every vacation.
To qualify for the Travelers’ Choice award, businesses must maintain an overall Tripadvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, receive a minimum number of reviews in the 12-month period in which the data was analyzed, and be listed on Tripadvisor for at least one year.
