AUBURNDALE, Fla. — In the heart of Auburndale, a former family-owned berry field has transformed into Camp Margaritaville.

The same family that owned the berry field still helps run the day-to-day operations at the property.
Designed for everything from weekend staycations to long-term getaways, the destination is a full resort offering activities from sunrise to sunset for every age.
"We definitely like to say resort because it’s not just a place to park your RV. It’s a place to hang out, make memories… we have two resort-style pools, two tiki bars… so yes, definitely a resort-style feel," said Camp Margaritaville Marketing Manager Abby Follansbee.
The resort serves as a convenient home base for families on the go. It is located near major youth sports complexes and is a short drive to Orlando’s theme parks and Florida’s Gulf Coast beaches.
