WHERE NATURE MEETS LUXURY
Pitched on the grounds of La Tourelle Resort and Spa in Ithaca, New York, our platform tents are furnished with hardwood floors, a king or queen bed with plush linens and safari-inspired furniture. Each tent includes a private balcony for soaking in the natural beauty with a good book, or a fresh mug of coffee. We greet you in the morning with a complimentary, locally-sourced continental breakfast served in our tented lobby. During the day, we invite you to unwind on the surrounding trails of Buttermilk Falls State Park, in a hammock under the forest canopy or with a treatment at August Moon Spa (a short walk from your tent). For the adventurous, you can explore the Finger Lakes' famed vineyards, waterfalls and restaurants - or stay on the grounds for dinner at John Thomas Steakhouse. We spark the campfire at sundown, and homemade s'mores promise to sweeten the company of friends, family and new faces!
YOUR STAY INCLUDES:
The wind rustling through the trees. Brisk morning air. All from the comfort of your bed ... No setup required. Made up with high thread count linens, your tent is off-the-grid and warmly lit with battery-powered lanterns (that can also charge your phone). Mesh screening helps keep the critters out, and comfortable furniture - such as the writing desk - gives you a place to muse on your ideas or simply relax.

MORE ABOUT FIRELIGHT CAMPS
Firelight Camps' mission is to create comfortable, stylish and revitalizing camping experiences that awaken our staff and guests’ appreciation for nature, inspire adventure and deepen connection with family, friends and community.
WE PITCH EACH CAMP WITH FOUR CARDINAL ELEMENTS IN MIND:
LAND STEWARDSHIP: Our camps pioneer low-impact infrastructure and natural landscaping that help sustain rural and wild properties while providing guests with opportunities to explore and experience the natural beauty.
LOCAL CULTURE: We embrace the local culture and support the local economy through our food and beverage programs, and by partnering with tourism providers such as wine tours, guided hikes, and outdoor activities. This helps ensure that each camp has a strong sense of place.
CONNECTION: At the heart of our camps is the fire circle, a place to forge community and deep connections with family, friends and community.
IMMERSION: We want to honor the roots of camping and give our guests a true outdoor experience, to fall asleep to bull frogs and wake with the birds; to experience the sound of rain on canvas and stargaze by the warmth of the campfire. We invite our guests to relax into the natural beauty of our camps in a way that feels easy, comfortable and clean, while inspiring a sense of adventure and novelty for first-time campers.
