Governors Island is one of my family’s favorite New York destinations. Located a mere 800 yards from Manhattan in New York Harbor, you feel like you’re in a different world devoid of cars and traffic. It’s one of New York’s most unique green spaces with a variety of activities, entertainment, food, and art exhibits, and now, it's not just a daytime destination, thanks to Collective Governors Island, a full-service glamping resort with stunning views of Lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and New York Harbor.
Forget make-shift tents, sleeping bags, and canned food synonymous with old-school camping. At Collective Governors Island, you're welcomed with upscale accommodations, plush beds, spa-like amenities, and artisanal meals and snacks. I recently “glamped” with my family, and we had an amazing time at this urban escape—despite hurricane-like weather.
