Campfire Sauna and Social is a lakeside sauna studio in Wilmette, IL that offers wood-fired sauna sessions as its primary recovery service, with contrast therapy incorporated into the standard session protocol. The studio operates on a 50-minute session model at Gillson Beach and emphasizes community connection alongside wellness. Appointments are required; drop-in sessions are not mentioned. The business is secondarily a med spa but the website focuses exclusively on sauna and recovery services.
Single sessions are $40. Pricing is consistent across homepage and service recovery pages. Passes can be used by purchaser only (website specifies 'one use per person' for NEWBIE promo and asks 'Can I use a 5/10 pass for friends/family?' as FAQ, implying passes may be personal). Private on-site rental (after hours, up to 12 people) is $350/hour. Private off-site rental (mobile sauna) requires contacting for pricing.
