I took a trip up to Ithaca last week to Firelight Camps for an overnight getaway. Firelight camps is an upscale campground in Ithaca, New York. Firelight Camps is an elevated camping experience with graceful safari tents that are furnished with hardwood floors, king or queen beds, and include a private balcony. Located on the grounds of La Tourelle Hotel and Spa, guests share access with August Moon Spa and can dine at John Thomas Steakhouse. In addition, they provide a complimentary breakfast and wine hour around our nightly campfire. There is a full bar and our hosts made a few very tasty old fashions.
We spent the night rotating between the couch and the fire, which is roaring day and night and returned to our “room” for a bed. Sleeping in a king size bed, under the warm blankets, basically outside made for a very sound and restful nights sleep. There is a trailhead that leads to Buttermilk Falls, but we chose to sleep in instead of a morning hike.
