Camping In Ithaca

Our adventure to Ithaca started with a beautiful and scenic drive from NYC that was truly an experience within itself. Our first stop was to Green Star Coop, where we picked up some delicious and healthy snacks and food for our cookout at Firelight Camps. We were happy to see that Green Star had so many healthy options for all walks of life and also an amazing team that greeted us and helped with everything we needed. Next we headed to Firelight Camp for our cookout where we sat under the tent and enjoyed our delicious dinner followed by smores near the fire pit.

The next day in Ithaca was truly an adventure that we will never forget. After enjoying a beautiful spread of food at Firelight Camps which I must add was all locally sourced food and organic! We headed to Robert H. Treman State Park and were in awe of some of the beautiful waterfalls we saw and swam in. We also meditated near the waterfalls which was amazing! All of the excitement had us hungry so we stopped by Green Star Coop for a quick and healthy sub sandwich to go so that we could fuel up for the next activity. Next, we met up with Astrid from Yoga Vahana who led a beautiful guided hiking, yoga, and meditation experience through Buttermilk Falls State Park. The views at Buttermilk were unreal. We really were in tears by how beautiful everything was there. Lastly after our hike we headed to Discover Cayuga Lake for a beautiful and informative sunset cruise and was met by a sunset we could never put into words you just had to be there. We headed back to Firelight Camps that night for our final family dinner by the campfire with so much love and fulfillment in our hearts. Ithaca is said to be gorgeous and that doesn't even cover half of it! We can't wait to come back !
