✨ Ranked #1 in Travel + Leisure’s “Best Places to Go Glamping in New York”
Just 8 minutes from Manhattan, Collective Governors Island delivers skyline views, harbor sunsets, and Statue of Liberty sightings—without city crowds. Sip cold brew, lounge in hammocks, and toast s’mores by the fire. By day, explore island trails or join yoga. By night, it’s wine, stargazing, and harbor breezes. This isn’t camping—it’s glamping reimagined.
✨ Why Book My Official Listing?
• Ride the scenic ferry—your adventure starts before check-in even begins
• Just 8 minutes from Manhattan... yet it feels like miles away from everything
• Roast marshmallows, swap stories, and stargaze by the firepit
• Wake up to sea breeze and skyline views, Lady Liberty included
• Join island happenings: yoga, wine tastings, acoustic sets & more
• No traffic. No noise. Just hammocks, harbor views, and really good coffee
✨ Your Tent, But Bring the Whole Crew
Glamping, but make it a family affair. Or a squad situation. Or a “we’re not sharing a bed, thanks” getaway. This setup combines one king bed in the main tent with two twin beds in separate, cozy canvas additions—so everyone gets a little space, a little privacy, and a lot of fresh harbor air. All just one scenic ferry ride from the city that never sleeps (but you definitely will).
▶ Sleeping Arrangements:
• 1 King bed in the main tent—skyline-facing and dangerously nap-inducing
• 2 Twin beds in separate addition tents—ideal for kids, siblings, or that one friend who snores
▶ Outdoor Vibes:
• Private wood deck with lounge seating—perfect for harbor sunsets, card games, and pretending you're off-grid (but still close to WiFi)
• Soft lantern glow + coastal breeze = instant peace mode
▶ Essentials & Comforts:
• Fully zippered canvas tents with mesh lining—so the bugs stay out and the breeze stays in
• USB ports—because dead phones don’t post sunsets
• Sparkling clean shared bathhouse just steps away—complete with fluffy robes, plush towels, and shampoo fancy enough to Google
• 100% smoke-free, pet-free, and chaos-free (unless your kids bring it)
So yes, it’s technically a tent.
But it’s also the only “camping” trip where everyone gets their own bed, a harbor breeze, and eco-luxe bath products that smell like vacation.
✨ Dining & Culinary Experiences
We’d never ask you to cook. You’re here to eat well, sip slowly, and let the skyline do the heavy lifting.
▶ Breakfast, Delivered to Your Tent
Think flaky pastries, charcuterie, berries, granola, and overnight oats—basically, room service if it studied abroad.
Bonus: it’s included. You’re living right.
▶ S’mores by the Firepit
Because no glamping trip is complete without sticky fingers and a smoky sweater.
Grab your complimentary kit, pull up a chair, and roast like a pro.
▶ Sunset Terrace Bar
Curated wines, craft cocktails, and local brews—poured with front-row seats to Lady Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.
Happy Hour runs 3–5 PM daily, but the views are always top shelf.
▶ Three Peaks Lodge
Wood-fired fare and open-air vibes.
Seasonally inspired dishes served waterfront—like if your favorite Brooklyn bistro moved to an island and got really chill.
▶ Pop-Up Culinary Moments
Rotating chef tastings, surprise menus, and dinners that double as main events.
Ask what’s cooking—we’re always plating something special.
