Tonight we went for dinner. It's a steakhouse so stick with what they do best. You will get the salad bar with your meal, it's good with a lot of choices. As for the sides, stick with potatoes, the vegetable- broccoli - is frozen so that means tastes bad and soggy. They are nice enough to accommodate food allergies,dairy. PS. The giant pretzel is really good and it is for several people, otherwise it's a good to go item to nibble on for days. Remember to take some of the sauces. The cheeses in my opinion are the best. The wings, sometimes overdone.

We enjoyed snacks and drinks right outside our room. We sat out on the covered porch on the side of the house and enjoyed the setting sun. In the morning, we were treated to a gourmet breakfast. We stayed in the Carl Vrooman suite; had 3 rooms. One was "standard", with a comfortable bed, the second was a sitting room with Carl's desk and a couch; then a separate bath with clawfoot tub. Everything was very "period". It was quiet, clean, and easy access to restaurants in Bloomington. We bounced a dinner idea off Brian and he heartily agreed - and it was great! Left at 9:00 the next morning, refreshed and happy.

Glamping at Camp Aramoni is a Midwest-must! I was part of a group of six (which included two lower…read moreelementary kiddos) that stayed two nights. Our tent was fabulous and so comfortable, and that even includes the pull-out couch. The grounds are lovely with wildflowers everywhere you turn. Follow the paths, and you'll find yourself at Blue Heron Creek and Vermilion River. Bring your water shoes for some aquatic hiking. The kiddos and I did plenty of exploring. The best surprise of Camp Aramoni is the food that's included during your stay. Our group was blown away by how delicious and thoughtfully crafted everything was, from the cinnamon butter for your breakfast waffle to the focaccia pizza at dinnertime to the homemade marshmallow for your campfire. We also purchased a Chicago dog lunch, which was plentiful and included the kitchen's own bbq chips. Know that if you have dietary restrictions, Camp Aramoni is incredibly accommodating. If you want to stay at the camp the entire time, I recommend two nights, which gives you a full day to explore the 96 acres of camp as well as relax at your tent. If you were to stay longer, there's plenty to do in the area between the state parks and Utica. I hope I'm lucky enough to enjoy a second round at Camp Aramoni. This is a very special place worth every penny!

Warning: Do *not* go here for a glamping or couple's retreat trip. It is nothing more than a…read moreglorified wedding venue. Frankly, this "camp" made no sense to me whatsoever. You're paying $500+ per night to be in one of eleven tents/cabins that are all tightly squished together in a row. Zero forestry separating them. Zero privacy unless you're hunkered in your cabin. Zero feeling of seclusion. Zero feeling of wilderness or camping vibes. If I am paying this much for a "luxury camping experience", I expect at least part of that value proposition to be not seeing my neighbor 20 feet away from me when we're sitting at our fire pits as you would be at a basic campground like Starved Rock. Their marketing materials claimed the Flora and Fauna cabin is "surrounded by forest" and secluded...but it's on the same silly strip of road, in the same row of cabins just 10 to 20 feet from the neighboring cabin. It just so happens to be the one on the end. I would feel less compelled to leave a negative review if Aramoni wasn't straight up lying to customers in how they describe the property.
