Collier-Seminole State Park

Collier-Seminole State Park is a Florida state park campground on the Tamiami Trail (US-41) about twenty minutes southwest of Naples, straddling the line between Gulf Coast civilization and Everglades wilderness. It protects mangrove swamp, tropical hammock and salt marsh, and its campground feels remarkably wild for how close it is to Naples. It suits RVers who want to explore the western Everglades and the Ten Thousand Islands without roughing it at a bare-bones national park campground, and paddlers drawn to the 13.6-mile marked canoe trail through mangrove estuaries to the Gulf.

Why RVers stay here

The campground has 105 sites for everything from tents to large motorhomes, all with electric and water, a grill and picnic table, and a dump station for sewer; hot showers, laundry and a boat ramp are on-site.

It costs $22 a night plus a $6.70 reservation fee and $7 nightly utility fee, booked through ReserveFlorida.com up to 11 months ahead, and it is open year-round. Cell signal is moderate.
