Firelight Camps in Ithaca, New York offers a back-to-nature glamping experience for you and your furry best friend. Unlike many glamp-sites, Firelight keeps nature and natural connection at the core of their mission, which means peace, quiet and outdoor fun for you and your dog.
The camps are designed to be low impact for the surrounding environment and to forge a deep connection between visitors and the nature they're immersed in.
Guests can choose from a selection of room options, some which have electricity and heat, and others which take a more authentic camping approach. They're all beautifully appointed and sheltered from the elements.
Your furry friend is more than welcome to join you at the campsite for an additional fee of $25 a day. The campsite is situated directly next to Buttermilk Falls State Park where you and your dog can hike, boat and explore the on site nature preserve. The campsite provides direct access into the park.
The grounds of Firelight Camps are peaceful enough to bask in all weekend. But if you're looking for more adventure, consider one of the activities coordinated by the campsite. You can take a wine tour around the Finger Lakes, or take your puppy on a wild foraging hike exploring the natural foods in the surrounding area.
Trail maps, a full bar and complimentary locally sourced continental breakfast can be had in the lobby and lounge. That's also where you and your puppy can curl up by the communal fire pit and meet new friends.
The great outdoors has never looked as chic, or as pet friendly, as it does at Firelight Camps. Here you can bring your pup on a grand outdoor adventure, that doesn’t require you to sleep directly on the ground. It’s an outing neither of you will ever forget.
