Glamping at Collective Retreats, Governor’s Island

Nice stay for a couple of days! During the summer, the tents are very hot, even with the A/C and ventilation on full blast! Very noisy due to boats, circle line and helicopters tours! They do have earplugs in the tent which was very handy and appreciated.

So beautiful, an escape from the city. Our tent rattled so loud throughout the night it felt like someone shaking a saucepan full of cutlery over our heads—even with white noise on and noise cancelling headphones in. Dinner at the restaurant was incredible, but breakfast was stingy AF. Highly recommend for families

It's a great location with probably the best views on NY Harbor. When it got a bit breezy during the night the noise kept us up. Not sure if you can do anything about it. We loved the fire pit. Breakfast was quite nice, although dinner at 3 Peaks was a bit disappointing. Al the staff were great.

I hosted a group of ~a dozen of us for my husband’s birthday. The staff were amazingly welcoming and hospitable. We were picked up from the ferry in golf carts, whisked off to our tents and then enjoyed drinks on the deck - taking in the views of the Statue of Liberty and downtown. We hosted dinner at Three Peaks and everyone raved about the meal. The steak was top notch. We closed the night out around the campfire under the stars. Couldn’t have been better a better time and so worth it.

Lovely stay at the Collective. Welcomed at the ferry and drove round to the retreat. We were checked in, driven to our tent, showed around & within 20 minutes, we were settled in. The tent was gorgeous & the place felt very safe. We didn’t eat dinner but the views were incredible. Air traffic was loud but it’s NYC, nothing unexpected. Breakfast food was delicious. Would definitely stay again & will recommend to friends.

I’ve never camped at all so this was a great experience! The bathrooms, grounds, room were all clean. I did go on the days where NYC had low humidity so I’m not sure how hot the tents would be on the 100+ days. I love governors island but right now there is a lot of construction all around the retreat. My only recommendation for improvement would be the continental breakfast was super sparse… what they charge for the night we could at least get a banana or some toast. All in all I did have a great time!
