FLORIDA CHARM
CAMP MARGARITAVILLE AUBURNDALE ‘HOME IS WHERE YOU PARK IT’ ometimes you find tropical enchantment where you may least expect it.
Welcome to Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins in Auburndale. Nestled up against scenic Lake Myrtle in Central Florida, this 65-acre slice of magic is everything you could want in the deluxe RV, trailer, and cabana cabin lifestyle—all in a luxurious yet laid-back setting befitting the Margaritaville name. The park was built on land owned by the longtime local Knapp family and was once an active blueberry farm and packing facility. It opened in February 2021 as the Cabana Club but was soon licensed under the global Margaritaville brand, becoming the third Camp Margaritaville property in the U.S. less than a year later.
In addition to these traditional RV sites, they also have 11 motorhome suites. These oversized slots feature all the amenities of a regular site plus full hookups with 110/30/50-amp breakers, a private tiki hut with outdoor kitchen and TV, a Kamado Joe grill, and more. Additionally, these “5 O’clock Suites” overlook the brand-new License to Chill Pool and Lake Myrtle.
It is still family owned and operated while proudly being a part of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville family of businesses.
But despite the temptation of the RV sites, we opted to stay in one of the 75 Cabana Cabins that line the streets
Fire pits dot the pool area for evening enjoyment.

OPTIONS ABOUND
Before heading to Camp Margaritaville Auburndale, we had a decision to make. The property has 328 RV sites, all with full hook-ups, cable, Wi-Fi, private picnic tables and charcoal grills. We knew we could get our truck-and-trailer combo into either an 80-foot back-in site or one of the huge 90-foot pull-throughs. We cannot imagine a big rig that could not fit somewhere on this extensive property.
