Camp Aramoni, a boutique glamping destination in Illinois, will host its fourth annual Holiday Brunch on December 14, 2025. The event will feature a buffet for attendees, festive beverages, and an opportunity for families to have photographs taken with Santa Claus.
Reservations are required, with seating available at 9:00 AM, 10:15 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:45 PM, and 2:00 PM. Adult tickets are priced at $32, children 10 and under at $10, and children five and under attend free.
A cash bar will offer themed cocktails, Bloody Marys, mimosas, and nonalcoholic drinks. Santa photo sessions will be available for $15 per family, with digital copies distributed by Hailey Williams Photography after the event.
The brunch is part of a monthly series offered by Camp Aramoni on the second Sunday of each month, with rotating themes and consistent menu options prepared by Chef Carson Barger.
Camp Aramoni operates on a 96-acre property along the Vermillion River that was formerly home to the Ristokrat Clay Products Company. The site has been restored and repurposed as a glamping and hospitality venue by a family team with local partners.
The campground features 11 safari-style tents, each equipped with air conditioning, private en-suite restrooms, mini fridges, luxury bedding, and personal bonfire pits. Accommodations support between two and six guests per tent, with the full site able to host up to 50 guests, making it suitable for private getaways, corporate retreats, or event buyouts.
For industry professionals, Camp Aramoni’s model provides insights into blending historic site preservation with modern hospitality experiences.
Offering luxury accommodations in natural settings can enhance revenue streams by diversifying seasonal programming and creating family-focused events, while integrated activities can increase guest engagement and encourage longer stays.
