Florida sunshine dappled through palm trees, a gentle breeze carried the faint scent of salt and frangipani, and contagious laughter echoed around the sparkling pool. No, this wasn’t a scene from Jimmy Buffett’s dreamworld – it was our reality at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale, our New Year’s haven in the heart of Central Florida. And let me tell you, it was pure Margaritaville magic!
From the moment we pulled our trusty RV into one of their spacious, perfectly-level sites, we knew we were in for something special at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale. Gone were the days of cramped, gravel parking lots. These were resort-worthy oases, complete with full hookups, charcoal grills, picnic tables, and ample room to stretch out. We could practically hear the palms whispering, “Welcome to paradise!”
And paradise it was! Camp Margaritaville Auburndale isn’t just an RV park, it’s an experience. It’s a vibrant tapestry woven with top-notch amenities, friendly staff, and a palpable sense of fun that permeates every corner.
Let’s dive into the details, shall we?
Activities Galore:
Adventure seekers rejoice! From kayaking and paddleboarding on Lake Myrtle to whizzing down the 147-foot waterslide in one of the two resort pools, there’s something to get everyone’s adrenaline pumping.
Feeling competitive? Test your skills at the 9-hole mini-golf course, or challenge your friends to a game of shuffleboard.
Craving some downtime? Relax by the pool with a tropical cocktail, join a yoga session in the tiki hut, or unwind with a movie night under the stars at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale.
Family Fun for All Ages:
Camp Margaritaville doesn’t forget the little ones! The kids’ splash pad is a guaranteed giggle-fest, while the playground offers hours of climbing, swinging, and imaginative play. There’s even a dedicated game room with arcade games and activities to keep young minds entertained.

No vacation is complete without delicious food, and Camp Margaritaville doesn’t disappoint. “License to Chill” poolside bar serves up refreshing cocktails and finger foods, while “Cheeseburger in Paradise” satisfies all your burger cravings.

But beyond the amenities, it’s the people who truly make Camp Margaritaville Auburndale shine. The staff is friendly, helpful, and genuinely enthusiastic, always ready with a smile and a “fins up!” greeting. They truly seem to love their jobs, and that positive energy radiates throughout the resort.
