RV rental Collier-Seminole State Park, FL: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Although the park is open year-round, the peak time to camp at Collier-Seminole State Park is from November to March as this ensures that there's no flooding on any of the trails. More than 100 sites accommodate tent and RV campers. If you’re planning to camp with an RV, the back-in sites can fit rigs up to 50 feet long. You can reserve a site as soon as one day in advance and as far out as 11 months in advance. All fears of your phone battery dying while motorhome camping will soon disappear, as electrical hookups are provided at all of the sites. Restrooms with hot showers, laundry facilities, picnic tables, grills, and more are all at your disposal. Pets are not only allowed at the campsite, but also in most areas of the park, as long as they're on a six-foot leash.

Not far from the Collier-Seminole State Park RV campground is the stunning site of the Bay City Walking Dredge, a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. The purpose of the dredge was to forge a major road. Used to build the Tamiami Trail Highway, or U.S. 41, through the rugged terrain of swamp and everglades, the dredge finally linked Tampa, Miami, and southwest Florida. Today, it stands as a wonderful reminder of what some good hard work can accomplish. Just a few steps away from the dredge, you can check out one of the many interactive exhibits around the park. The exhibits are ever-changing and new, so there’s always something to discover and explore. After a day of culture and sightseeing, make the 30-minute drive to treat the kids to the Sun-N-Fun Lagoon, where there’s something for everyone. Lazy river for Mom, tadpole pool for the toddlers, and five different slides at 38 feet high atop a wooden water tower for Dad and the teens. Work up an appetite while boating on the Blackwater River? Less than twenty minutes away from the park is the magical Marco Island, where you can choose from a variety of five-star restaurants that serve fresh seafood, Mexican, Italian, breakfast, and more. While in town, you can easily refuel your campervan rental tank at one of over ten gas stations. With a full tank of gas and the open road ahead of you, you'll find no shortage of places nearby to soak up some of that rest and relaxation we could all use a little more of.
