Who we are

A desert camp in Jaisalmer, set among the dunes at Sam

Desert Camping is a tented camp on the Sam Sand Dunes, west of Jaisalmer city. Guests arrive in the afternoon, head out onto the sand for sunset and return to an evening of Rajasthani music, a campfire and a home-style dinner.

We keep things straightforward: clear plans, good food and time to enjoy the desert. Stay one night or combine the dunes with a tour of the city. See our desert camp or read more about us.
