Collier-Seminole provides canoe rentals, as well as a boat ramp with access to the Blackwater River, where anglers can fish for both saltwater and freshwater fishing. Collier-Seminole offers full-facility, primitive and youth camping. The campground is considered a tropical outpost on the edge of the Everglades. Campsites have water, electricity, restrooms with showers and a screened-in activity building. There are 120 campsites that accommodate all campers, from tents to large motor homes. All are nestled among majestic royal palms and colorful gumbo limbo trees. This park is frequented in the winter by motor home campers seeking warmer climates, so it's difficult to get a reservation in winter. Pets are welcome in the full facility campground campground. Primitive camping is also available along the park's canoe and hiking trails. Pets are allowed there as well, though bringing them is not remommended.
