Wonderful staff who were very accommodating. The tents and communal bathrooms were super clean and the beds were comfortable. Being able to sit at individual fire pits in the evening made our stay even more cozy and enjoyable.

We enjoyed our time and had an enjoyable experience. The breakfast was amazing. We have stayed with other similar glamping companies such as under canvas - and unfortunately because this is priced so similarly you inadvertently compare the two - and for value for money and level of service I would unfortunately have to go with under canvas.

Special stay close to Ithaca
What a find! Firelight Camps was such a treat. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable accommodations, and fun amenities (complimentary s'mores, coffe & tea, board games, and, of course, on-going camp fires). We enjoyed the full service bar in the evening and the breakfast, featuring local goods, in the morning. Highly recommend!

This property was absolutely dreamy! We loved the tent, we loved the amenities, everything. It was clean, the staff was so nice, the breakfast was perfect. LOVED the campfires, the grills, the bar. Absolutely lovely. The ONE suggestion we have is the bathroom situation; the current facilities are super clean, but they’re not convenient for tents. I would suggest having a small (2 stall) facility close to the tents bc the fear of going to the bathroom at night and having to cross camp and walk up the stairs is real. Otherwise, Firelight is perfect!
