"A family-friendly outdoor getaway where characters go glamping, make s’mores around a fire, and enjoy simple, elevated camp food like croque-monsieurs, lending the outing a relaxed, communal, celebratory feel despite underlying personal concerns." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Offering a grown-up summer-camp experience on Governors Island, Collective Governors Island features tents and cabins with high-end amenities." - Mark Fedeli
"An urban glamping experience eight minutes by ferry from Manhattan that introduced overnight stays to Governors Island with luxury canvas tents and a handful of cabin-like shelters. Offerings include 27 Journey tents with real beds and shared bathrooms, 10 Summit tents with private en suite bathrooms, rain showers and private decks, and temperature-controlled Outlook Shelter and Liberty Suite options with proper doors and private baths. Many units provide electricity and French-press coffee, Summit rates include breakfast (with optional in-bed delivery), and sweeping skyline and Statue of Liberty views make the location uniquely scenic." - Jennifer Flowers
"Unless you’re a member of the program that brought a handful of Berlin-based artists to one of Governors Islands' long-disused Victorian houses, a night spent here is a night spent at Collective. That glamping has arrived, not merely in New York City but, technically, a borough of Manhattan is no small selling point—that most tents’ flaps frame, at one angle or another, Lady Liberty herself, isn’t either. I’d never glamped before, nor am I sure that I necessarily understand the distinction—most accommodations are built upon raised platforms, and all have bathrooms with running water, so there really isn’t much difference at all between this and a hotel room, beyond the flapping sounds of passing bat wings."
"Their other locations include the forest home of Collective Hill Country in Texas and the oasis-like Collective Governors Island in New York City. Both have even higher-class accommodations than Vail." - Mitchell Friedman
