Best places to go glamping in Singapore

East Coast Park

While East Coast Park is popular among astronomy enthusiasts for unobstructed views of planet parades and rare cosmic sightings, the park is also ideal for glamping adventures. Camping is permitted in Area D and Area G of the East Coast Park. The earmarked areas have public washrooms, shower stalls, and BBQ pits available for rent from SGD 16 per pit. Moreover, with Lagoon Hawker Centre, seafood restaurants, and McDonald’s, the park is more than equipped to satiate your hunger.

Pasir Ris Park

A quieter alternative to East Coast Park, Pasir Ris Park proffers lush greenery, a beach, and two camping grounds where you can pitch a tent. Beyond glamping, kids can go for a pony ride at the Gallop Stables or indulge in the Pasir Ris Park Maze.

Lazarus Island

Just about 8 km from Singapore, Lazarus Island will teleport you into a world of slow living with tiny buildings, fresh produce, and panoramic sea views. Outside your luxury tent, saunter along palm-fringed beaches (or even stretch into a few yoga poses!) and try your hand at paddle-boarding organised by the island’s water sports centre.

Explore our Lazarus Island guide for the best experience.

Note: The island is nestled south of mainland Singapore and can be reached via ferry. You can catch a ferry from Marina South Pier, which is located at 31 Marina Coastal Drive.

St John’s Island

A stone’s throw from Lazarus Island, St John’s Island is also perfect for campers who seek a secluded sanctuary. Bear in mind that St John’s Island does not have a supermarket or convenience store, so carrying all supplies with you is advisable.

West Coast Park

Glamping with kids? Make the transition easy with West Coast Park, whose Area 3 is earmarked as the main camping ground. Don’t worry about the younger lot losing patience with the slower charms of glamping, for the nearby Adventure Playground, shops, and diners will offer plenty to entice glampers of all age groups.

Pulau Ubin

Want a glamping experience laced with a rustic, old-world charm? Head to Pulau Ubin, where you can pick up from two main campsites, Jelutong and Mama. Humble kampong glamping with basic facilities is promised. Consider hiking or cycling along the island’s gorgeous wetlands outside your camp.

Address: 51 Lor Bekukong, Singapore 499172. Find on map

Note: You can reach Pulau Ubin via a bumboat ride that departs from Changi Point Ferry Terminal

Sentosa Island

Ditch booking a hotel at Sentosa Island, and consider pitching a luxury camp instead! Glamping in Sentosa Island comes with a string of beaches, chic cafes, and adventure. The only catch? Sentosa Island doesn’t permit overnight camping or glamping, and 7 pm is the cut-off.
