Camp Aramoni Staggers Opening Plans Over Pandemic Delays - Eater Chicago
"Opening plans for Camp Aramoni, the 96-acre upscale campsite and event space touted as Illinois’s first “luxury campground,” was to open this month, but the pandemic has caused significant delays. Camp Aramoni will accept reservations for September and October, but the so-called “grand opening season” with full amenities won’t begin until 2022, according to a rep. The expansive venue features food from Chicago chef Cleetus Friedman. Perched along the Vermilion River in Tonica, a small town about 90 minutes south of Chicago, Camp Aramoni aims to draw fancy campers, wedding parties, honeymooners, and other comfort-conscious patrons. Safari-style tents will be equipped with hardwood floors, en-suite bathrooms, king-size beds, and air conditioning." - Naomi Waxman
