Island Glamping + Michelin dining & Skyline View

✨ 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?

✨ Your Tent, But Make It a Boutique Suite

Alright, let’s talk about this tent. Yes, it’s technically made of canvas. But don’t worry—this isn’t your average sleep-on-the-ground situation. This is boutique glamping at its finest, tucked on Governors Island where the breeze is salty, the views are skyline-worthy, and the beds are honestly a little too good for the outdoors. Think of it as your favorite hotel suite… with zippered walls and fresh air.

▶ Sleeping Arrangements:

• King-size bed with 1,500-thread-count linens so soft they whisper “one more hour”

• Fluffy pillows, a cloudlike mattress, and just enough lantern light to feel storybook-perfect

▶ Outdoor Vibes:

• Shaded waterfront deck perfect for golden hour wine and skyline ogling

• Zip-close canvas walls with bug mesh (because the only buzz we want is from the bar)

• 100% smoke-free — unless it’s toasted marshmallow season, in which case… game on

▶ Essentials & Comforts:

• Designer canvas interior with cozy seating and stylish touches

• Ambient lighting for that “oh look I’m glowing” vibe

• Full electricity + USB charging = your devices stay juiced while you sip juice (or, again, rosé)

• Wi-Fi included — post from the deck or pretend to unplug. We won’t tell.

• Private walk-in rain shower inside your spa-style bathroom (yes, it’s attached. No midnight treks required)

• Double vanity, rich wood paneling, and lighting that makes you look extremely well-rested

• Fluffy towels, robes, and eco-friendly bath products that smell like a fancy forest


✨ 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
