10/10 Exceptional

I usually pop up my own tent, but wanted to go on a relaxing retreat for my birthday. The fine details at firelight make it a very stress-free and accommodating place to stay outdoors. I enjoyed rocking on my own private porch. The bed was comfortable and clean the bottles of water left helped me prepare for my hike to the waterfalls the next day. I enjoyed sitting around the fire Under the moonlight and roasting marshmallows. The bathrooms are very clean and come with shampoo conditioner, and blow dryer so you don't have to pack more in your bags, the only complaint I have is that I arrived at 4:30 and three of the staff members were all standing at the bar, making drinks for a few customers and not attending to the guest check-in in and trying to settle down. I didn't feel that three staff members were needed to make drinks thank you so much for my stay and a relaxing time

6/10 Good

Wonderful stay as long as you don't need any sleep
I feel truly bad only giving this place 3 stars as almost the entire experience was amazing! Love the concept & amenities, super clean, so many fire pits so you felt like you were roasting your marshmellows for your complimentary s'mores in your own little world. But given this was a sleeping accommodation and we were not able to sleep any, I just cannot rate it at 5 stars. For the most part, everyone at the campground got the memo that this is a peaceful, connecting with nature experience....except for the tent of people right beside us and their friends who were staying two tents down from us. The people stayed out on their deck beside us talking in full volume voices until almost daylight and the friends walked between the two tents, up and down the gravel paths (crunch, crunch, CRUNCH) so many times that I wouldn't be surprised if Firelight had to dump more gravel in the ruts of the paths after their stay. My husband and I were so sleep deprived by the next morning that when we checked out, we just drove home and cancelled the plans we had made for that day (very disappointing as that was the whole reason we were in the area looking for accommodations to begin with). We have stayed at similar "glamping" experiences previously and those organizations maintained the quiet hours much more successfully than Firelight (as we never heard anyone go to the tent and ask them to quiet down). Such a wonderful experience that turned very disapointing. :(

Found out glamping isn't really my style and the weather (with heat warning) didn't help but property itself is fine. Only thing was that the tent got too hot during the day. More uncomfortable than outside. Would consider staying again in the fall when weather's cooler.

4/10 Fair

A little too wild and not worth the money
I wouldn’t recommend unless you really like glamping. I got one hour of sleep because every hour you could hear coyotes howling in the distance. You could hear animals all night going by your tent, but at one point there was something larger on my back patio and the zipper of the tent was jaggling. Another time something lunged at my dog from a bush twice scaring the hell out of both of us. It was the worst sleep of my night and set the whole trip into a bad descent. I would skip it unless you really love this type of experience. The dog fee has also increased and not been updated on here.

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.

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.

Beautiful tents and bedding. The bathrooms and showers were clean bright and nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The lobby tent has free water coffee and tea. It also has a bar, board games and the campfires outside. There were enough that we have our own fire to enjoy and cook our smores. Took the trail to buttermilk falls park. We started late so didn’t make it to the main falls but it was a beautiful hike in the woods on good paths- did have some steep sections and stairs in the park. We enjoyed our stay.

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!
