Aspen Family Campground

A wonderful rustic, private, off-grid get-away, perfect for couples, families, and pups who enjoy camping (log cabin with wood furniture available, you may pitch your tent anywhere on the property, if you prefer - leave no trace). It is a quiet, rural, forest and field area. Once at the cabin there are only two to three houses within a half mile (through the woods), so you will have a private space all your own. Onsite: water pump, outhouse, wood stove, campfire ring, wood & propane grill. Exclusive access for nature hikes, streams, forest, pond, swimming, bird watching, star gazing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, etc. When you book, you are confirming your understanding of the following: there is no electricity, running water, or  bed/mattresses. You bring own air mattress, bedding, and gear you will need. All-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. To check dates available, calendar is available via airbnb or hipcamp. Note for winter guests: We do not plow the driveway in winter, you need to be ready to shovel an off-road parking spot, and transport gear to cabin(e.g. by sled, snowshoes) Here's a brief list of the basics to bring: Light source: Lantern propane or battery(there are flashlights on site, but the batteries may be low or gone). Air mattress or cot and whatever bedding you need. Paper products(cups, plates, utensils, toilet paper, etc.) Matches/fire starter(there is wood and newspaper on-site, and a propane grill for cooking that has a self-starter) Bug spray Cooler and ice Lawn chairs There are a few tables, several chairs and benches. There are 2 picnic tables(one outside and one inside). The benches can be moved outside if you'd like, just move them back inside before you leave. The propane grill should also be moved outside if you plan to use it. There is a hand axe in the cabin to shave kindling, and the wood is already split to be the length for the wood stove, as needed. Gas: 5 miles away. If you plan to grocery shop when you get to the area, the closest store is at East Hill Plaza in Ithaca, about 9 miles past where the cabin is(I can give you all that info if you like). There is lots to explore/see/do in the Ithaca area if you decide to come down off the hill one of the days. I'll have some brochures and things in the cabin, and can answer questions(aka where is the best ice cream, dinner, etc.).

While most people consider New York City to be the main attraction of the state, further upstate lies Chenango Valley State Park; a much calmer 1,137 acre natural wonder of New York. This park is known for its two kettle lakes, named Chenango and Lily. The lakes, which were created after the last Ice Age, formed when large chunks of ice that were left behind by a glacier ended up buried deep beneath the earth. Over time, that ice melted, forming the bogs and wetlands known today as Chenango and Lily. 

The park’s rich ecosystem attracts both migrant as well as predatory birds and other watchable wildlife. Subsequently, birdwatchers will delight finding and spotting the woodpeckers, nuthatches, warblers and thrushes found along woodland trails. You will also find herons, ducks, and kingfishers over on the lakeside. 

Those searching for something closer to the lakes will enjoy an abundance of excellent fishing opportunities. Fishermen can attempt to catch trout, bass, perch, and bullhead in Chenango Lake, as well as the various wetlands and marshes throughout. Lily Lake is not known for its fishing opportunities, but makes a the perfect place for a relaxing day at the beach. After you’ve soaked up some rays, enjoy a relaxing game of gold over at the 18-hole Chenango Valley State Park Golf Course. There’s never a shortage of activities, nor scenic beauty to take in during your stay here. And luckily, if you can’t fit it all into one day the park offers fantastic overnight accommodations as well. 

When camping here, take comfort knowing there’s plenty of room for everyone. In fact, campers can choose from among 184 campsites, or  24 warm and cozy cabins. The park offers shower buildings routinely placed throughout, as well as an amply-stocked convenience store with camper information inside. 

Fortunately, there is a variety of campsite sizes and amenities to choose from. However, if you’re planning on camping with an RV, consider reserving your site at least a few months in advance as space can fill up very quickly, especially during the summer.

Welcome to Firelight Camps where we create a revitalizing, comfortable, and stylish camping experience. Pitched on the grounds of La Tourelle Resort and Spa in Ithaca, New York, these 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, mug of coffee or a cocktail. You are greeted in the morning with a complimentary, locally-sourced continental breakfast served in the tented lobby. The camp store carries homemade s'mores kits. Otherwise, guests dine out or at The Bistro at La Tourelle or John Thomas Steakhouse, both on the grounds. During the day, you are invited 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, while a complimentary tasting awaits you at the bar. And as always, a homemade s'mores promise to sweeten the company of friends, family and new faces. Their newly renovated bath house is located just 400 ft from your tent. You'll find hot showers with changing rooms and full-length mirrors, flushing toilets and ample space to make yourself feel refreshed. Showers and bathrooms stalls are unisex, though there are two full, private bathrooms for those seeking more comfort. For your convenience, we provide local eco-friendly shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion and laundered towels.
