Glamping in Singapore runs from about S$170 a night for a fan-cooled tent at East Coast Park to S$950 a night for a Mandai safari tent next to the zoo. The word covers two very different things: a pitched-and-decorated tent at East Coast Park you sleep in for one night, and an all-inclusive resort-style stay on Lazarus Island or in Mandai with meals and tours baked in. Most people overpay because they compare the headline rate without checking what is actually included, then get caught by ferry fees, BBQ pit charges, weekend surcharges, and air-con add-ons. This guide breaks down what each tier really costs in 2026, what is and isn't included, and where the value sits if you just want a one-night escape without a flight.
Update, 14 October 2026: at-home teepee setups now start around S$230 rather than S$100, East Coast tents start from S$170, and Into The Woods no longer publishes its tent rates. You also apply for the free NParks camping permit yourself; operators do not do it for you. There is no single "glamping price" because the market splits into three tiers that share a name but almost nothing else. The cheapest tier is a tent that an operator pitches and decorates for you at a public park or in your home, and you supply your own food and entertainment. The middle tier is a beachfront tent at East Coast or Pasir Ris with fairy lights, air beds, and optional BBQ. The top tier is an all-inclusive island or wildlife stay where the rate covers transport, meals, and activities.
The numbers below are the published starting rates as of October 2026. Treat every figure as a weekday "from" price for the smallest occupancy. Weekend, eve-of-holiday, and peak-season rates run higher, and the headline number rarely includes food unless the listing says so. If you are weighing this against an overseas trip, run the all-in cost through a quick personal budget check before you book, because the cheap tiers add up fast once you bolt on extras.
| Type | Location | From (per night) | Pax | What's included |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive wildlife | Mandai (Glamping in the Wild, Reservoir Retreat) | S$550 | 2 | Zoo + Night Safari entry, dinner & breakfast, guided tours, parking |
| Island beachfront | Lazarus Island (Into The Woods) | Shown only for your dates | 2-3 | Return ferry from Marina South Pier, breakfast, air-con tent |
| Beachfront tent | East Coast / Pasir Ris (various operators) | S$170-300 | 2 | Air bed, linen, fairy lights; BBQ & food extra |
| At-home / indoor teepee | Your home | From ~S$230 | up to 4 | Teepee, mattress, decor; you supply food |
This is where the headline price is high but you spend almost nothing extra on the day, which makes it the easiest tier to budget for. Mandai's Glamping in the Wild is the closest thing Singapore has to a true resort glamping stay. It now runs two sites at the same prices: Reservoir Retreat (formerly Colugo Camp), which comes with the Zoo and Night Safari, and Crocodile Lodge, which comes with Rainforest Wild Adventure activities instead. The rate is per tent for a 2-day, 1-night stay and scales with headcount rather than per person.
Lazarus Island's Into The Woods is the beach alternative. The tent rate covers the return Marina South Ferries crossing from Marina South Pier, out at 3pm and back at 11.30am the next day, plus breakfast. The Sentosa Cove ferry is a separate S$25 round trip. The island's only convenience store opens Friday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm, so on other days bring what you plan to eat and drink. Into The Woods shows its tent rates only once you pick dates in its booking page, so price your exact night before you compare it with Mandai.
East Coast Park glamping runs from S$170 a night for a fan-cooled tent for two at Wondrous Glamping to about S$270 to S$300 for Glamping City's sea-view and family suites, and this is the tier where the final bill drifts furthest from the headline. The tent rate usually buys you the pitch, an air bed, linen, and fairy lights. Food, BBQ pits, air-con units, and picnic spreads are almost always separate. Glamping City charges S$123 for a BBQ set for two to four people and S$69 for a picnic set-up for two, while air-con adds S$80 a night at Glamping Society and S$150 at Glamping City. If you only want the pit, NParks rents BBQ pits for S$12 to S$20 a day.
There is also a non-obvious step: the camping permit. NParks requires a free permit to put up a tent in a park, even during the day, and camping is allowed only in designated areas such as parts of East Coast Park and Pasir Ris Park. You apply yourself through Singpass or an AXS station, at least two weeks and at most two months ahead; Glamping Society says it cannot book the permit for you because it needs your Singpass login. Each permit covers one tent of up to six people from 9am to 9am, you get at most four camping days a month, and it cannot be cancelled if it rains. Before you assume the cheap tier is cheapest, total the tent rate plus food plus any air-con and compare it against the all-inclusive number; the gap is often smaller than it looks. If a one-night local escape is really about resetting on a budget, the same money sometimes buys a fuller day out at a beach club or a Sentosa attractions day.
The cheapest way to "glamp" is to skip the location entirely. At-home and indoor operators bring teepees, mattresses, fairy lights, and themed decor to your living room, from about S$230 for Wondrous Glamping's slumber teepee that sleeps four. There is no ferry, no permit, no weather risk, and no food markup because you cook or order in. For a kids' birthday sleepover this often beats a park tent on both cost and convenience.
If you own or can borrow gear, buying or renting your own equipment and pitching at a permitted park site is cheaper still, though at that point it is plain camping rather than glamping. The premium in glamping is the setup and the linen; the more of that you do yourself, the closer the cost falls to free. For families timing this around the holidays, pairing a home teepee night with free school-holiday activities is the lowest-cost version of the whole idea.
Glamping rates are volatile and demand-driven, so the savings come from timing and matching the tier to what you actually want out of the night. A few moves consistently lower the bill.
It ranges from about S$230 for an at-home teepee for four, S$170 to S$300 a night for a beachfront tent at East Coast Park, a date-based rate for a Lazarus Island tent that Into The Woods shows only in its booking page, up to S$550-950 a night for an all-inclusive Mandai safari tent that bundles zoo or Rainforest Wild entry, meals, and tours.
Not for the mid-tier park operators. The tent rate usually covers the pitch, air bed, linen, and lights, but food, BBQ pits, picnic spreads, and air-con units are charged separately. All-inclusive stays at Mandai and Lazarus Island are the exception, where transport and meals are already in the rate.
Yes. NParks needs a free camping permit for any tent in a park, even during the day, and you apply for it yourself through Singpass or AXS, two weeks to two months ahead. Glamping Society says it cannot book the permit for you, and Wondrous Glamping sends you to AXS to get it. Camping is only allowed in designated areas, and a permit cannot be cancelled for rain.
Glamp at home. An indoor teepee setup for up to four people starts around S$230, with no ferry, no permit, no weather risk, and no operator food markup since you cook or order in. Booking park tents on weekdays and going as a group of three or four also lowers the per-person cost.
