Where to Go Glamping in Singapore in 2026, and Is It Worth It?

In Singapore in 2026, the main place to go glamping is Glamping in the Wild at Mandai Wildlife Reserve, which Mandai lists from S$550 a night for two, with park access, dinner, breakfast and guided tours included. For an island night, Sentosa lists the Tiny Away Escape on Lazarus Island. It is usually worth the price if you would pay for the parks and meals anyway. The other discount on the same booking is Cashback through ShopBack Singapore: it works like a discount code, but there's no code to find or type in, the current Cashback is shown on the Klook page on ShopBack before you book, and it doesn't use up your one promo code. So the order is: apply your best code or card offer, then book through ShopBack before you pay.

New to ShopBack? ShopBack Singapore is a free app and website that returns cash on orders when you start from ShopBack before you pay. Klook, Pelago and KKday are among the stores you can book through this way. Join ShopBack Singapore for free, then open the Klook page on ShopBack before your next booking.

Glamping in Singapore: the numbers that matter

Glamping in Singapore is a small, mostly packaged market, so the numbers come from the operators themselves. According to Mandai at the time of writing:

	Reservoir Retreat	Crocodile Lodge
Location	Mandai Wildlife EAST	Rainforest Wild Adventure EAST
Price for 2 people	From S$550	From S$550
Price for 4 people	From S$950 (S$237.50 each)	From S$950 (S$237.50 each)
Stay	2 days, 1 night	2 days, 1 night
Capacity	20 tents, up to 80 guests	20 tents, up to 76 guests
Best for	Wildlife lovers, families	Adventure seekers, youth

Both are full-board, all-inclusive stays for up to four guests per tent, with an additional night available on request. Each tent measures about 4m by 5m and has air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, a patio, a 230V power outlet, a queen bed and a bunk bed. Bathrooms and the dining hall are shared.

Where can I go glamping in Singapore?

You have three realistic choices: an all-inclusive tent at Mandai, a tiny-house night on Lazarus Island, or pitching your own tent at an NParks campsite. Here is how each works.

• Glamping in the Wild, Mandai Wildlife Reserve. Two campsites at 80 Mandai Lake Road. Mandai describes Reservoir Retreat (formerly Colugo Camp) as a wildlife and wellness stay with views of the Upper Seletar Reservoir, and Crocodile Lodge as an adventure stay inside Rainforest Wild Adventure.
• Tiny Away Escape @ Lazarus. Sentosa's Southern Islands page lists five eco-friendly tiny houses on Lazarus Island, each with its own theme: Scandinavian, retro, industrial, modern and black-and-white colonial.
• NParks camping. NParks permits camping at designated areas in certain parks. It is not glamping, since you bring your own tent, but it is the low-cost way to sleep outdoors.

A hotel instead? Mandai also has Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree inside the reserve, which Mandai says is Singapore's only Banyan Tree property. Before you book a hotel on Booking.com or Agoda, go through ShopBack first.

Is glamping in Singapore worth the price?

Usually yes, if you were going to visit the parks and eat there anyway; less so if you only want somewhere to sleep. Think of Glamping in the Wild as a park day plus a night out, not as a hotel room.

What you get at Reservoir Retreat, according to Mandai:

• Park admission to Singapore Zoo and Night Safari
• Dinner and breakfast, including Breakfast in the Wild
• An evening guided tour at Night Safari with the Creatures of the Night presentation and a tram ride
• A private animal encounter at Animal Playground the next morning
• Free parking at the Mandai Wildlife EAST carpark for in-house guests

What you get at Crocodile Lodge, according to Mandai:

• Access to all nine Adventure+ activities at Rainforest Wild Adventure, with four Fast Passes
• Dinner, breakfast and a light supper
• Night activities and an early-morning guided forest trek

When it is worth it. For a family of four, the per-person price falls to S$237.50 at the time of writing, and that covers admission, two meals and guided activities. If you would have bought Zoo and Night Safari tickets and eaten at the park on the same trip, much of the cost is spent either way.

When it is less worth it. If you dislike shared bathrooms, want to sleep in, or only care about the tent, a hotel night may suit you better. Check-in starts from 2.30pm and check-out is by 11am, so the stay is short.

Glamping Singapore best deals in 2026

The best deal is usually the right package for your group size plus any promotion Mandai is running, paid for in a way that lowers the effective price.

1. Fill the tent. The per-person price drops from S$275 for two to S$237.50 for four at the time of writing.
2. Watch for operator promotions. Mandai has run early-bird promo codes for Glamping in the Wild, limited to a set number of bookings, and notes that promo codes are non-stackable. Check the Glamping in the Wild page for what is live.
3. Compare booking sites. Activity sites such as Klook, Pelago and KKday sell Singapore attractions and experiences, and Pelago has a Camping and glamping category. Compare the same stay, date and inclusions before you pay.
4. Go through ShopBack before you book on those sites. It is the step that lowers what you pay for the booking.

Klook vs Pelago vs KKday for glamping in Singapore: comparing prices

Compare like for like: same stay, same date, same number of guests, same inclusions, and the total at checkout. Klook, Pelago and KKday each run their own listings, prices and member perks, and a stay may appear on one site and not another. What to check:

• Inclusions. Does the listing include park admission, meals and the guided programme, or only the tent?
• Cancellation. Read each listing's cancellation rules, since they can differ by site.
• Promo codes. Yes, you can use a site's own code with ShopBack. Apply it at checkout as usual; Cashback through ShopBack works like a discount code that doesn't use up your one promo code, so book through ShopBack before you pay.
• Booking direct with Mandai. At the time of writing, Mandai's own booking site is not a store on ShopBack Singapore, so when you compare, set its direct price against the booking-site total after ShopBack.

How do I get to Lazarus Island?

Sentosa says you can sail from Sentosa Cove to Seringat Jetty at Lazarus Island in about 15 minutes, on a ferry that runs from Tuesday to Sunday at the time of writing. Sentosa's Southern Islands page describes setting off from Sentosa Cove and exploring Seringat, Kias and St John's Island on foot from Lazarus.

• The ferry. Sentosa lists a Seringat round-trip ferry with a minimum of two and a maximum of ten guests a booking, with a few fixed sailings each day. Guests gather 10 minutes before departure at Sentosa Cove Arrival Plaza, 1 Cove Avenue.
• Via St John's. Lazarus Island is connected by a causeway to St John's Island, which is reachable by ferry, so you can walk across between the two.
• Plan around the schedule. Sailings are limited and the timetable can change, so book your return trip before you go.

Is glamping on Lazarus Island worth it?

It can be, if you want a quiet island night close to the city and are happy with a simple, self-contained stay. The overnight option Sentosa lists on Lazarus Island is the Tiny Away Escape, five eco-friendly tiny houses with different themes. Lazarus is one of the Southern Islands south of mainland Singapore, and is not connected by land to the main island.

Why people go. Sentosa calls the Southern Islands a quieter getaway, with beaches, coastal trails and sea sports. The Lazarus Sea Sports Centre offers stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and waterbiking with instructors, according to Sentosa.

What to weigh up. With limited ferry times, you will spend more time planning than for a mainland staycation. Bring food, water and anything you need for the night, and check the stay's own booking terms before you pay.

Lazarus Island glamping best deals in 2026

For Lazarus, the saving comes from booking the stay, the ferry and any sea sports as one plan, not from a code. Check the Tiny Away Escape's own booking terms, compare whether the same stay or ferry appears on Klook, Pelago or KKday, and if you book there, go through ShopBack first. Avoid booking a sea sports slot that clashes with the ferry times.

NParks camping: the low-cost alternative

If the goal is a night outdoors rather than a packaged stay, NParks camping is the cheaper route. According to NParks:

• You need a valid camping permit, even to set up a tent during the day.
• You apply online with Singpass or at an AXS station, at least two weeks before the camping date and up to two months ahead.
• You must be 16 or older with a valid residential address in Singapore, and you can camp up to four days a month.
• You can camp from 9am on each booked day to 9am the next day.
• Permits cannot be cancelled, changed or transferred, even if it rains.

Why ShopBack is a step before you book

Before you pay for a stay or activity on Klook, Pelago or KKday, open ShopBack Singapore, tap the store, and book. ShopBack works like an automatic cash discount on your online order, so your effective price is what you pay minus the cash ShopBack returns.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

The current Cashback is shown on the Klook, Pelago and KKday pages on ShopBack before you book.

Step by step: booking a glamping night in Singapore

1. Pick the stay: Mandai for an all-inclusive night, Lazarus for an island night, or NParks if you will bring your own tent.
2. Check the operator's page for the price, inclusions, age rules and any promotion.
3. Compare the same stay on Klook, Pelago or KKday, where it is listed.
4. If you book on one of those sites, open its page on ShopBack Singapore first and tap through.
5. Book and pay, then book your ferry or transport.
