"On Governors Island—a scene of art installations, green space, and seafood restaurants on a former military outpost—I love that this Big Apple glamping concept brought luxe‑rustic tents and cabins right along the water some seven years ago, and it still feels unmatched. Expect plentiful campfires, lawn games, and happy hour, plus the delightful novelty of a 10‑minute ferry from Manhattan to a place where New Yorkers will rave about the island and be genuinely awed you’re staying the night." - Mitchell Friedman
"Tucked within New York City’s singular Governors Island — a park between Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty — this urban camp marries skyline views with retreat‑like programming, from cooking classes, meditation and yoga sessions to live entertainment and cocktails on the Sunset Terrace. Tents and shelters create a unique city‑camp atmosphere a short water‑taxi ride from lower Manhattan." - Mark Fedeli
"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
"Governors Island isn’t exactly typical of New York neighborhoods — set between Brooklyn and the Statue of Liberty, and technically part of Manhattan, the island and city park enjoys unparalleled views and an inimitable atmosphere. Collective Governors Island offers the sort of grown-up summer-camp experience you’d ordinarily drive to the Catskills to find, accompanied by live entertainment and cocktails on the Sunset Terrace. Tents and cabins feature air conditioning, en suite bathrooms, and high-end amenities." - Mark Fedeli
"A short ferry ride from Manhattan, this perch likely delivers the city’s best view, making a pastoral, water-lapped wedding remarkably easy on guests. The great lawn fits up to 175 with the Statue of Liberty as a close-up backdrop, while the Sunset Terrace brings live entertainment and cocktails. Stays channel a grown-up summer camp, with air-conditioned tents featuring en suite bathrooms, Frette robes, and high-end bath products; the top-end Outlook Shelter is a cabin-like retreat with an indoor soaking tub aimed straight at Lady Liberty." - David Shortell
