"Desert Dream Royal Camp experience was amazing. With additional cost take their adventures… it’s amazing!!! We WhatsApp earlier to confirm a room heater… which they provided on top of double blankets… food and cultural programs were very nice!!! Will highly recommend this place for one/two nights stay rather than staying in Jaisalmer downtown!!!! Very nice people… very trustworthy!!!"

10/10 Excellent
"We spent two nights at the camp with our adult college age kids and it was a fantastic experience. The service was extraordinary as owner Jaswant went out of his way to ensure we were well looked after. Further, the camp was as not overrun by westerners as most tourists were Indian. We enjoyed the camel ride and dune sunset, as well as the evening food and entertainment. This was a highlight of our trip. "
