Collective Governors Island delivers a memorable glamping escape with sweeping harbor views and popular fire pits, and guests often praise the friendly, attentive staff; trade‑offs include nighttime noise from wind and traffic and summer heat in tents.
The setting is a short ferry ride away, with convenient on‑island shuttles and an overall relaxed, getaway feel. Tents are generally comfortable and clean, with some guests choosing options that include private bathrooms. Dining skews positive for dinner and drinks at Three Peaks, while multiple reviews describe breakfast as limited or messy. Expect a scenic, service‑forward stay with outdoor perks in a unique island setting.

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.

Loved the atmosphere and vibe of the retreat. Food was great. The yoga was very fun. We were there on Thursday day/night. Many of the surrounding vendors are closed on Thursday, just a heads up if that is important to traveler.

It was a very nice and unique stay. Sleeping tent and adjoining bathroom tent roomy with a good view. Did need to pass through a 2-3 step open space to get from sleeping area to our bathroom tent. Liked their soaps and creams. The staff was very nice and aimed to please but it took many asks for simple things to be addressed (missing lt bulb, clearing/replacing used coffee items etc). Breakfast at restaurant very good. Dinner, for most part, good though some seasonings iffy. Our waitress was very accommodating and appreciated.Good bar and drinks. Enjoyed hammocks and fire pits. Should note it’s not a quiet location- water and air traffic a constant and sounds (sirens) carry across the water. Embraced it all as part of being in NYC!

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.

Just what we expected. Staff was nice & helpful. Hanging out in the middle of New York Harbor. Happy Hour was relaxed (1 free w your stay). Dinner was good (additional). Smores & Campfire were great (included). Beds were comfy. They had coffee available in our room to make which we did at 6am when we woke. Breakfast was fine and it starts at 8am (additional but came with a breakfast beverage - we had coffee). And they will hold your bags after checkout if you want to go explore Governor's Island - which we did. Overall a relaxing & enjoyable time. You will hear the ferry & helicopters from time to time but that's nothing compared to NYC constant noise.

We just stayed at the gorgeous Glamping property of collective retreats on Governors Island last week. Our stay, and experience overall was outstanding. The setting is unbeatable; with tents in the foreground and lady Liberty and the south of Manhattan for a backdrop! It’s breathtaking both day and night. We opted for a journey tent but we would upgrade to a tent with our own private bathroom next time. The facilities were spotless though! The little extras like breakfast delivery, s’mores and campfires at night, glamorous details in the room…all left us wanting to come back again. We were so impressed by the level of service the staff provided. It’s clear that Evan runs a tight ship when every single staff member you engage with is helpful professional and absolutely lovely. Namira checked us in on arrival and even brought breakfast to our tent the next morning! We hope to be back again this season before they close in November. If you are reading this, you must try this wonderful experience for yourself.

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’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!

The tents were dirty and old. The zippers in the tents and for the bathrooms were old and did not work. And we were woken up early in the morning by construction just a few feet from our tent.

Rooms
Tents provide standout views and comfortable beds, and some setups feel spacious with optional private bathrooms. Repeated drawbacks are significant nighttime noise and summer heat, as AC can struggle on very hot days.

Should note it’s not a quiet location- water and air traffic a constant and sounds (sirens) carry across the water. Embraced it all as part of being in NYC!

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

Really bad experience while in tent. A staff member from the hotel brought new customers to our tent while we were sleeping and opened the tent while I was shouting there are people inside. He just said sorry and left, without any other apologies. We were barely awake and what if we were not dressed?

We just stayed at the gorgeous Glamping property of collective retreats on Governors Island last week. Our stay, and experience overall was outstanding. The setting is unbeatable; with tents in the foreground and lady Liberty and the south of Manhattan for a backdrop! It’s breathtaking both day and night. We opted for a journey tent but we would upgrade to a tent with our own private bathroom next time. The facilities were spotless though! The little extras like breakfast delivery, s’mores and campfires at night, glamorous details in the room…all left us wanting to come back again. We were so impressed by the level of service the staff provided. It’s clear that Evan runs a tight ship when every single staff member you engage with is helpful professional and absolutely lovely. Namira checked us in on arrival and even brought breakfast to our tent the next morning! We hope to be back again this season before they close in November. If you are reading this, you must try this wonderful experience for yourself.

Staff was friendly, responsive, and prompt with requests. Accommodations were very clean. Loved they provided shuttle service to places you wanted to visit on the island. Restaurant on site, was delicious! We'll be back.

Location
Unique, scenic spot on Governors Island with skyline and Statue of Liberty views, accessed by a short ferry ride. It is not a quiet area, and a couple of reviews note nearby construction.

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.

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.

I took my mother to the retreat on Governor's Island for her 80th birthday and it was fabulous. The unique setting, views, staff and service was amazing. I will definitely be back!

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!

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.

The tents were dirty and old. The zippers in the tents and for the bathrooms were old and did not work. And we were woken up early in the morning by construction just a few feet from our tent.

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

Just what we expected. Staff was nice & helpful. Hanging out in the middle of New York Harbor. Happy Hour was relaxed (1 free w your stay). Dinner was good (additional). Smores & Campfire were great (included). Beds were comfy. They had coffee available in our room to make which we did at 6am when we woke. Breakfast was fine and it starts at 8am (additional but came with a breakfast beverage - we had coffee). And they will hold your bags after checkout if you want to go explore Governor's Island - which we did. Overall a relaxing & enjoyable time. You will hear the ferry & helicopters from time to time but that's nothing compared to NYC constant noise.

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!
