Hang out and explore a swamp in the Ten Thousand Islands!
Covering 7,271 acres, this Florida state park on Marco Island contains one of the largest mangrove swamps. Rest in the shade of big cypress trees and see the stands of royal palms from the hiking trails. From December to March, park rangers offer programs on a variety of topics.
While visiting the park check out a historic mechanical engineering landmark. This Bay City Walking Dredge is the last of the road that once connected the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area to Tampa.
Explore the park from one of the 105 campsites with 19 of them for tent use only. You can bring your RV up to 50-foot long and find electricity, water, a grill, and a picnic table.
A couple of the campground sites have hammocks to sleep under the stars. Pets are welcome at the campgrounds. The bathrooms have hot showers and one has laundry facilities. Two primitive campsites welcome visitors. The one at Grocery Place is even canoe-in!
The best time to visit Collier-Seminole State Park is during the cooler months from November to March. Wildlife is abundant, and the weather is perfect for outdoor activities. Summer months can be hot and humid, with a higher chance of rain and storms, possibly affecting park access and comfort.
