Camper reviews for Collier-Seminole State Park
Still in Recovery Mode from Hurricane Ian
Friendly park staff, I stayed at site 91 which was a bit close to the adjacent site but I was only there for 1 night in my class C. Good water and 30 amp. Disappointed that the canoe rental concession and nature trail was closed.
