THE COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE
"The glamping experience on Governors Island is about to get a whole lot fancier"
"Look no further than Collective Retreats, a brand built on simpler glamping principles, with locations in Yellowstone National Park and Governors Island, with views of Manhattan’s Financial District."
"Think luxurious accommodations, chef-created breakfasts, vast and beautiful views of the city... it’s probably the closest thing you’ll get to “roughing it” in nature."
