Confirmed from Collier-Seminole State Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Rare palm trees & a landmark dredge distinguish this 7,271-acre park set partly in a mangrove swamp.

Collier–Seminole State Park Campground is very well maintained and thoughtfully set up for campers. The facilities are solid—clean restrooms, drinking water, electricity hookups, and access to nature trails—everything you’d expect for a comfortable stay in a state park. The only downside is the proximity to Highway 41.
Beautiful park with some walking trails, picnic area,campground, playground and boat ramp. Self service kiosk for kayak rental. Bathrooms are clean. Campground is pretty big and well maintained, spots are wide level, grass surface with fire ring and picnic table. Water and electric connection, dump station available.
We tent camped at Collier-Seminole State Park Campground for 7 nights from Jan 18th, 2026. Our campsite was small, but could accommodate our 14' x 12' tent and our full sized truck. The facilities at the campsite are awesome. Clean restrooms and showers, power and water at each site, laundry.
This is a very nice State Park and in a great location. The sites are a good size, the restrooms and showers most have been renovated, the rest are currently being renovated, It is nice and quiet and it is also a gated park. There's kayaking, fishing, hiking trails, off-road bike trail and some ranger programs.
