Do you remember catching fireflies as a kid and putting them in your mason jar with the little holes punched out in the lid? You could be out catching them for hours in the slowly dimming night sky, their little bodies growing brighter by the moment, and it felt like seconds. Well it’s been years, but it’s not too late to catch that firefly feeling again. Let that summery emotion of wonder return to you at Firefly Lake Campground, where campsites brush up to Firefly Lake and you can take your pick between taking a dip, exploring the land, or saddling up your dreaming mind under the stars. The setup is non-camper-type camper friendly (with showers, flush-toilets, and some electric sites)—making it easy-breezy to get back to that firefly flicker from years past.
