Your 7-Day Florida Escape

When planning a Florida getaway, the best trips balance relaxation, adventure, and a place that feels good to come back to each day. At Camp Margaritaville Resort Auburndale, your home base does more than check boxes — it shapes the entire experience.

Set on 66 acres in the heart of Central Florida, just off the Polk Parkway and next to Lake Myrtle, the resort puts you within easy reach of Tampa, Orlando, and Polk County’s local gems — while surrounding you with resort-style amenities, entertainment, and a welcoming community that makes settling in feel effortless.

Here’s how to spend seven unforgettable days enjoying the best of the resort and everything around it.

Day 1: Arrival & Island Time

Your vacation begins the moment you arrive.

After parking your RV or settling into your cabin, take time to explore the resort and ease into the Margaritaville state of mind. Two resort-style pools set the tone — including a zero-entry pool with a 147-foot waterslide, a kids’ pool, and plenty of lounge space to soak up the Florida sunshine.

Grab a drink from the Tiki Bar, stroll the property by foot or golf cart, and let the travel day melt away. As evening arrives, enjoy nightly live entertainment, a themed activity, or relaxed time around the fire pits.

This first night sets the rhythm: easy, social, and unhurried.

Day 2: Resort Day from Morning to Night

Day two is all about enjoying everything that makes Camp Margaritaville Auburndale feel like a true destination resort.

Start the morning with coffee outside your RV or on your cabin’s covered porch, followed by a walk around the property. The day is yours to shape — pickleball, mini golf, cornhole, the Fins Up! Fitness Center, or simply poolside lounging.

Families love the kids’ parks, Pirate Ship Gem Mining, and Parrot Island Mini Golf, while adults enjoy the relaxed pace and social atmosphere throughout the day. Even pets get in on the fun with Bark-aritaville dog parks and dog spas.

As the sun sets, head back to the Tiki Bar or License to Chill Bar for cocktails, music, and conversation.

Day 3: LEGOLAND®, Peppa Pig World, or Orlando Theme Parks

One of the biggest advantages of staying at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale is location.

Spend day three visiting LEGOLAND® Florida Resort or Peppa Pig Theme Park, both just minutes away in Winter Haven — a huge plus for families. Alternatively, head toward Orlando for a day at Disney or Universal.

After a full day of excitement, returning to the resort feels especially rewarding. Dinner options like The Feeding Frenzy, Frank & Lola’s Pizzeria, or Sun Baked BBQ Hut make evenings easy, followed by live entertainment or a peaceful night under the stars.

Day 4: Lakeland & Polk County Favorites

Start the day at the Downtown Lakeland Farmers Curb Market, a local favorite known for fresh finds, handmade goods, and community charm. From there, wander through downtown Lakeland to enjoy boutique shopping, colorful murals, and scenic lakeside views.

For lunch, Lakeland’s dining scene offers plenty of well-loved options. Guests often enjoy Nineteen61 for elevated Latin flavors, Frescos Southern Kitchen & Bar for comfort classics with a Southern twist, The Joinery for a relaxed food hall experience with multiple local eateries, or Black & Brew for lighter fare, coffee, and casual bites.

In the afternoon, head to Bonnet Springs Park, one of Lakeland’s newest and most impressive destinations. This expansive waterfront park features walking trails, gardens, playgrounds, scenic overlooks, and cultural spaces — perfect for a leisurely stroll or relaxed exploration. Afterwards, visit Hollis Garden or take a walk around Lake Mirror before heading back to the resort.

Back at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale, unwind with pool time or live entertainment, at the a lively, social atmosphere right on property.

Day 5: Bok Tower Gardens & Old Florida Beauty

Day five brings a slower pace with a visit to Bok Tower Gardens, one of Florida’s most iconic and peaceful attractions. Stroll through lush gardens, enjoy sweeping views, and take in the calming sounds of the carillon.

Back at the resort, the afternoon is perfect for pool time, a fitness class, or casual games. Evening activities — from paint classes to themed socials and live music — keep the energy going without feeling overwhelming.

Day 6: Tampa Beaches, Sports, or Entertainment

With Tampa just a short drive away, day six offers endless options.

Head to the beach, attend a sporting event, catch a concert, or explore Tampa’s waterfront dining scene. Some guests even use this day to prepare for a cruise departure.

No matter how you spend the day, coming back to Camp Margaritaville Auburndale feels like coming home — familiar faces, glowing lights, music at the tiki bar, and a relaxed atmosphere waiting.

Day 7: One Last Morning in Paradise

Your final day is all about savoring the experience.

Enjoy a slow morning, one last pool dip, and coffee outside as the resort wakes up around you. Many guests say this is when they realize how much they enjoyed having one place that balanced adventure, comfort, and connection all week long.

It’s a vacation that feels complete — not rushed.
