The park was originally created by Barron Gift Collier to preserve the royal palm trees. In the 1700's Seminole Indians emigrated from the Creek Confederacy to Florida. The park is the site of the last existing dredge used to build the Tamiami Trail Highway linking Tampa and Miami.
Not a bad park but not our favorite with rigs one on top of another, but knowing what we know now, I would book a campsite in the tent area which have a good deal of space between camp sites. This is a great place from which to explore Marco Island, the Everglades and Big Cypress Preserve. We also had a nice day with Gary's uncle Paul who lives just 6 miles north of the State Park.
