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

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!

This experience exceeds your expectations. If you’re looking for an stress-free, easy get away, this is perfect! Whether you’re looking for a family, couples or you only … this is it! Just make sure you bring some food but they have all of the drinks covered. We felt safe and sleeping was beyond blissful in the “glamping” camping experience. My only suggestions would be, hot tubs or hot springs, more outdoor activities and live music. The staff was incredibly accommodating and so kind. I also love how eco, family and dog friendly firelight camp was!! We will return as a family or a girls trip. Next time, I want to take advantage of all of the hammocks around. Oh and, OMG the massage I received at August Moon by Rebecca was absolutely amazing! It was so nice to walk out of my tent yo my massage while my daughter and her friend relaxed in hammocks. I knew they were also relaxing and safe!

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.
