Firelight Camps Named Glamping Show America’s “Operator of the Year” 

Rev member Firelight Camps received the “Operator of the Year” award at the Glamping Show Americas 2024 Conference in Colorado. This recognition celebrates Firelight Camps’ innovative approach to outdoor hospitality, blending luxury, nature, and sustainability to offer unforgettable camping experiences to a wide range of seasoned adventurers and first-time campers alike. 

Firelight Camps created a new definition for glamping. Their philosophy revolves around four core principles: land stewardship, local culture, connection, and immersion. They were able to redefine what it means to camp in style while still respecting the environment and supporting the local economy through low-impact infrastructure and partnerships with local businesses. 

Firelight Camps began as a dream inspired by a camping trip with friends. The founders envisioned a place where guests could gather around the campfire, sleep under the stars, and disconnect from their busy lives. With the beauty of the Finger Lakes, Firelight Camps is able to offer what was idealized – a revitalizing experience that balances adventure and relaxation. 

As Firelight Camps continue to expand, their deep connection to the Ithaca community remains strong, serving as a shining example of how startups can thrive with the right support. Learn more about Firelight Camps by visiting their website or following them on Instagram.
