Why RVers stay here

Camp Margaritaville Auburndale is a Margaritaville-branded RV resort in Central Florida, at 361 Denton Avenue in Auburndale off the Polk Parkway between Lakeland and Winter Haven. Despite the "Orlando" name it is marketed under, it sits about 45 miles and 50 to 90 minutes from Walt Disney World, and only about 15 miles from Legoland. It suits families and snowbirds who want the resort itself to be the vacation: two pools, a 147-foot water slide, tiki bars, mini golf and a packed activities calendar on 326 full-hookup sites plus 75 Cabana Cabins.

Sites are the strongest part. Standard back-ins sit on 80-by-35-foot shell pads; pull-throughs are 90-by-35-foot concrete pads with 50/30/20-amp, water, sewer, cable and Wi-Fi, so a 45-foot Class A with a toad fits easily. Pricing is dynamic, quoted live by date and site class, and every stay adds a $19 daily resort fee and a nonrefundable 3.4 percent booking fee (phone bookings add $9). It runs year-round with peak from November to April and value in summer. The trade-offs are the long Disney commute, Polk Parkway road hum, late event noise on party weekends and young landscaping with little natural shade.

  • Oversized sites: 90-by-35-foot concrete pull-throughs with full 50/30/20-amp hookups that swallow a 45-foot rig and toad
  • Two pools, a 147-foot water slide, splash pad, tiki bars, mini golf, pickleball and a full events calendar
  • Premium Tiki Sites and Motorhome Suites with private tiki huts, outdoor kitchens and grills for those who want the top tier
  • About 25 to 30 minutes from Legoland, the theme park it is actually close to
  • Up to three pets on RV sites, with two dog parks and wash stations
  • !Not in Orlando: Disney is about 45 miles and 50 to 90 minutes each way depending on I-4
  • !Dynamic rates plus a $19/day resort fee and 3.4 percent booking fee; price the full stay before comparing
  • !Road noise from the Polk Parkway and inconsistently enforced quiet hours on party weekends; Wi-Fi fades at outlying sites

Our verdict

Book it if the resort is the vacation and Disney is a day trip at most, especially with kids who love pools or Legoland; skip it if you plan to be inside a Disney park every day or want quiet, shade and nature.
