Connect with Nature
Desert Camps
Mitzpe Ramon Desert Camps
Makhtesh Ramon is the world’s largest erosion crater, located in Israel’s southern Negev Desert. The Ramon Crater offers an exceptional opportunity for desert enthusiasts to explore this natural phenomenon by foot, bike, or car. The quaint town of Mitzpe Ramon, perched above the crater’s northern ridge, boasts a variety of hotels – from luxurious to basic. For those looking for a more authentic desert experience, however, nothing can compare to staying in a real Desert Camp. These camps provide a unique style of hospitality, allowing visitors to remain closely connected to nature, without having to sacrifice comfort or service. Whether you’re seeking adventure in and around the Ramon Crater, or whether you are simply looking for some tranquil serenity in the desert, these Desert Camps in the Mitzpe Ramon area offer the perfect retreat. On this page, I have prepared a list of the best such camps. Click the “Reserve” button if you wish to learn more about each camp and in order to make a reservation on the Booking.com website.
