Glamping Accommodations

Here are the things you should know before you book ELIK’s accommodations. You’ll have to do it for two nights minimum on the usual weekend, three nights on holiday weekends. Bottled water and coffee pods are included and refreshed daily.
All four types of accommodations are designed for a family of four but can fit up to six people. Additional charge for children under 18 is $10, for adults $25 per night. If you need space for more than two kids, you can also ask for a junior tent; it costs an additional $50 and can accommodate up to four children under 18.
Safari Tents
These 16×20 feet safari tents have plenty of room to fit a queen bed, full-size pull-out couch, full bathroom, a TV, and TV stand. There is also a kitchenette that includes a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. AC/heat, Wi-Fi, fire pit, private outdoor shower – that’s what staying in a luxury tent means.
The price for a night in safari tents is $350, and they are available for booking from April 30th until October 31st. If you book now, you can get a special offer – $300 per night if you stay on any day from Sunday to Wednesday.
Cabin Suites
For $500 per night, you can rent a cabin suite with two bedrooms, a living area, a kitchen, and a bathroom. For sleeping arrangements, you’ll find a queen bed in the master bedroom, twin xl bunk beds in the second bedroom, and a pull-out couch in the living area. The bathroom consists of a vanity sink, toilet, and shower. The kitchen includes a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, sink, gas range, and utensils.

Deluxe Campers
Located on a private site near the woods, the deluxe camper has pretty much everything a cabin suite has. There is a queen/king-size bed, twin bunk beds for kids, a pull-out couch, a fully equipped kitchen, and two bathrooms. With TV, Wi-Fi, AC/heat, coffee machine, gas grill, and a porch, you won’t even feel like you’re living in a vehicle.
The camper rental rates are $250-350 per night from Sunday to Wednesday, $350-400 Thursday through Saturday.
Basic Campers
Eastern Long Island Kampground’s basic campers aren’t that different from the deluxe one. They are also located in private sites and include a queen bed, bunks for kids, a full kitchen with microwave and coffee machine, and a porch.
