Sleep under the stars with the NYC skyline in the background. Your luxe tent sits on peaceful Governors Island—just a short ferry ride from Manhattan, but it feels like a world away. Sip wine by the fire pit, wake to birdsong and harbor breeze, and spend your day lounging in a hammock or biking the island. With a plush bed, private deck, and access to curated dining, this isn’t camping—it’s an unforgettable NYC escape, reimagined.
Just a short ferry ride from Manhattan, the Summit King Plus is not just a tent—it’s a sanctuary. This elevated, reimagined version of our beloved Summit Tent is a design-forward retreat that pairs raw nature with refined luxury. With a waterfront deck, striking canvas interior, and a spa-style en suite bathroom, it’s perfect for special celebrations, stylish escapes, and anyone who believes glamping should feel a little indulgent.
