Pennecamp is named after John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park — Florida's first undersea park, in the Florida Keys — making it the only village in The Villages named after a state park. It sits in the Lake Sumter Landing corridor, Sumter County, ZIP 32162, built 2009–2012. Of all the villages in this corridor, Pennecamp has the widest spread of home types: Patio Villas, Courtyard Villas, Designer Homes, and Premier Homes in a single village. Cane Garden Country Club, a 27-hole championship course, directly surrounds the village. Bond assessments vary meaningfully by section: most units run about $1,300 to $1,380 per year, but one section of 127 lots (Unit 168) carries about $3,168 per year — verify by address.

The full range of home series in a single village is unusual in the Lake Sumter corridor. Most villages here cluster in two or three types — typically Patio Villas at the smaller end and Designer Homes at the upper end. Pennecamp adds Courtyard Villas and Premier Homes as well, spanning from smaller two-bedroom villas to larger Premier Homes in a single neighborhood. For buyers who are still deciding what home type fits their budget and lifestyle before committing to a lot, Pennecamp is one of the few places in the central area where all four series are available to compare in person.
Cane Garden Country Club — a 27-hole championship course — directly surrounds the village, and some Pennecamp homes sit on its fairways. The course is accessible by golf cart without leaving the village road network. Pennecamp Recreation Center is the primary rec facility for residents — a named center serving the village, not a shared regional facility. Lake Sumter Landing Market Square is the closest town square, a short cart ride north on the Lake Sumter corridor path network. Some homes in the village have water views from proximity to Lake Miona.
