✨ 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

✨ 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
