Camp Margaritaville Auburndale is located in Central Florida, around an hour southwest of Orlando and 40 minutes northeast of Tampa. You can combine your stay with a visit to Walt Disney World, since you can be on the park property in less than 40 minutes.

While the immediate area doesn’t offer as much to do due to its rural location, you have easy access to many day-trip options, whether you want to the theme parks, beaches, or great towns like Orlando or Tampa. Or, thanks to the resort-level service at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale, you may opt to just hang out and enjoy the park amenities and atmosphere.

Driving into the resort at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale, you can expect to immediately be wowed. It truly feels like an oasis. The tropical vibe really comes through, straight down to the tiki huts. While shade not abundant, the resort has planted many large palm trees across the campground, which truly give the tropical touch.

The campground has over 300 campsites, all of which are full hookup. You’ll find a mix of back-in and pull-thru, as well as some motorhome-specific pull-in sites. You’ll find a variety of upgrade options, including sites with tiki huts, outdoor kitchens, prime locations, hammocks, and so much more. It’s definitely worth exploring the full suite of options before you book.

In addition to the RV sites, you can also book a cabana cabin. Bill actually stayed in a cabin on his trip, and he was very impressed.

Let’s get an overview of the pricing and booking details at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale. Expect to pay around $95 to $175 per night, depending on whether you go for a more basic or a premium-level site. Although that sounds high for a campground, this is reasonable for a resort on the East Coast.

For comparison, Bill booked this park again for a stay next year, with some additional nights at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. The Fort Wilderness reservations started at $250 a night. So, you are paying a premium for both the location and the amenities. Just remember, these parks usually use dynamic pricing, so reservation costs vary by season, day, and availability.

Cabin prices are also fairly reasonable. They start run around $190 to $225 a night. You get a whole tiny home with a kitchen and more.

While you might expect a Margaritaville to be more adult focused, the Camp Margaritaville Auburndale is also family friendly, with amenities for kids and adults of all ages. When you pull into the resort, you will see an event pavilion, camp store, pools, and a beautifully designed tiki hut area with a stage for live entertainment, including ticketed concerts.

The entertainment area is surrounded by food trucks and other eateries and a lovely spot to sit while you dine or hang out. You can find a great variety of food and drinks. You can have food delivered to the pool areas.

You’ll find many opportunities to cool off on a hot day, whether you’re taking your little ones to the splash pad, enjoying the waterslide with your tweens, or hanging out in the “Licensed to Chill” pool, which has a swim-up bar. There are two pool areas, and both are equally create.

On land, you’ll find mini golf, pickleball, cornhole, treasure mining, playgrounds, and more. Again, all of these are great for both kids and adults. Even the pets get an over-the-top experience at the Bark-aritaville Dog Park, which features a dog run and a spa.

As Bill points out, you can stay as busy or as relaxed as you wish! The park offers both vibes and has plenty of opportunities for both playing and relaxing.
