About this property

Rustic Glamping w/ Michelin Restaurant & NYC Views

✨ 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 Listing?

• Arrive via scenic ferry—your escape begins the moment you board

• Just 8 minutes from Manhattan—but feels like a different plan

• Stargaze by the firepit and toast s’mores under the stars

• Wake up to harbor breeze and views of Statue of Liberty

• Join daily experiences like yoga, live music & wine tastings

• No cars. No chaos. Just green space, great food, and good vibes


✨ Your Tent, But With a Skyline & a S’more

Think of this as the “starter pack” for anyone dipping a toe into nature but not quite ready to give up good sheets, strong coffee, or skyline views. The Journey Tent is your sweet spot: a plush king bed under canvas, harbor breezes at sunrise, and lantern-lit evenings that end with sticky fingers and starry skies.

▶ Sleeping Arrangements:

• King bed with soft, luxe linens — it’s more “float into dreamland” than “crash after a hike”

• Wake to birdsong, breeze, and soft light pouring through your canvas walls

• No hotel hallway noise, just fresh air and the occasional ferry horn in the distance

▶ Outdoor Vibes:

• Private wooden deck with lounge chairs — perfect for golden hour rosé or coffee-fueled journal sessions

• Lanterns + soft lighting = glamping mood set to "gentle enchantment"

• Zip-close tent with mesh netting so the air flows but the bugs don’t

▶ Essentials & Comforts:

• USB ports to keep your phone charged for sunrise pics

• Full electricity for your twinkle lights, hair straightener, or emergency fan moment

• 100% smoke-free — breathe deep and sip slow

• Shared spa-style bathhouse just a short stroll away, complete with fluffy towels, robes, and fancy shampoo you’ll want to steal


✨ Dining & Culinary Experiences

We wouldn’t dare make you cook. That’s what the chefs are for.

▶ Breakfast, Delivered to Your Tent

Fresh pastries, granola, charcuterie, berries, overnight oats... basically a European café with better views.
And yes, it's included. You’re welcome.

▶ Nightly S’mores by the Firepit

Because you’re not truly glamping until there’s marshmallow on your jumper.
Grab your complimentary kit and gather ‘round. We’ve got stories to tell.

▶ Sunset Terrace Bar

Craft cocktails, local brews, and curated wines—served with cinematic views of the skyline and Lady Liberty
Bonus: Happy Hour from 3–5 PM daily. (We call this “golden hour with benefits.”)

▶ Three Peaks Lodge

Wood-fired, seasonally inspired dishes made to impress
Open-air dining with waterfront seats—like if Brooklyn got lost and came back peaceful

▶ Pop-Up Culinary Events

Rotating menus, chef tastings, and food that’ll make you consider a career change
Ask us what’s cooking when you arrive—we’ve always got something simmering


✨ Signature Experiences at Collective Governors Island

At Collective Retreats, we design every moment to connect you with nature, community, and the wonder of the outdoors—while keeping the Manhattan skyline in view.

• Daily breakfast delivered to your tent—pastries, fruit, granola & more

• Two ferry tickets included with your reservation

▶ Live Music on the Lawn
Nightly acoustic sets feature NYC artists—don’t miss Tom Larson’s bluesy sunset sessions every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening.

▶ Wheels Up
Bike the island’s leafy trails past forts, gardens, and waterfront views.

▶ Collective Rituals
Daily yoga, stargazing walks, and guided moments to reconnect.

▶ Picnic-Perfect
Order a curated lunch basket and dine al fresco under the trees or beside the harbor.

▶ Spa Experience (Optional Add-On)
Enjoy preferred rates at QC NY Spa—complete with thermal pools, steam rooms, and stunning skyline soaks.

▶ The Great Lawn
Hammocks. Lawn games. Open sky. Your island living room.


✨ Before You Book – The Fine (but Fun) Print

▶ Check-In & Payment
• Check-in: 4:00 PM | Check-out: 12:00 PM – sleep in, we won’t judge
• A deposit equal to 100% of your stay is required at check-in
• Bring a valid photo ID and a matching payment method (no impersonators, please)
• Must be 21+ to book – we like our glampers legal and legendary

▶ Getting Here
• No cars allowed – this island is strictly ferry, foot, or fabulous bike
• Round-trip ferry tickets for two included in the resort fee
• Ferry runs daily from 10:00 AM to 8:15 PM – don’t miss the boat

▶ Pet Policy
Sorry, no four-legged glampers this time

▶ Parking
No on-site parking, but we suggest rideshare, teleportation, or walking on water (ok fine—just take public transit to the ferry terminal)

▶ Laundry
No washer/dryer on-site, so pack like a pro. Pro tip: leave room for souvenirs and s’mores kits.

▶ The Glamping Vibe
• Think canvas tents, crackling firepits, and open skies—not elevators and lobbies
• Quiet hours keep things mellow, and shared spaces keep it friendly
• We’re a seasonal escape—open spring to fall, then we hibernate


✨ Zip in, zone out, and book now before the last marshmallow melts.
