A bit of a tourist trap. 
Not much of a desert just a few dunes, 10 minutes camel ride, open jeep ride was just to the dunes and back on terrible roads, beds like rock, takes 20 minutes for the water to heat up for a shower that lasts about 2 minutes. 
Limited but tasty food
Surrounding area littered with rubbish. 
If in doubt, skip.

Average at Best

The camp is located at a distance of 40 kms from Jaisalmer and is easy to drive to and locate. Our tent was sturdy and spacious and the bathroom was well maintained and extremely clean, as was the linen and the bed sheets. This came as a pleasant surprise to us because we didn't expect a camp to have such high levels of hygiene and cleanliness. Food was extremely appetising. The Chef prepared a delicious Rajasthani style dry chicken dish using minimal masalas and oil. The camp organised a desert jeep safari (paid for separately)  and a camel safari (built into the package), both of which were fun. Evening was spent around the bonfire watching a Rajasthani song and dance performance. Right from the time of check in to check out, Mr. Rahul, Mr.Kuldeep and their team were attentive to our needs ensuring great service. All in all, a highly enjoyable and relaxing stay

Wonderful Experience - Comfortable Stay, Delicious Food, Fun Activities and Entertaining Cultural Evening

Excellent service by the staff, delicious food, worth an experience!

This is a somewhat upgraded camping experience, so don’t expect the tents to be like a 5-star hotel; the accommodations are clean and comfortable. 

Excellent service! 

Very happy with the service and attention the staff provided. The accommodation in on-suite tents was as good as the hotel suites we have stayed in. Our desert adventure into the dunes to watch the sunset was unforgettable. Meals are great and entertainment was enjoyable with drinks and nibbles before dinner.

Desert treat

Review of Winds Desert Camp

Overall a good stay in the camp run by hard working folks. 

Location - About 32km from Jaisalmer (JSM)  without any camps nearby. Quiet and relaxing. The google maps location is accurate. Taxis will charge around 1500kms for a one way drop or offer to do a round trip for 2500, which will include a side trip to a deserted town of Kuldhara (skippable). The camp itself is not close by to the dunes but on a sandy patch. The dunes are some distance away. Plan your arrival to between 3-4pm. Before that - nothing much to do; and probably too hot as well (depending on the time of the year). Spend your time in JSM instead. 

Food - it was quite tasty. They accommodated our vegan food request with a smile. They also have many vegetarian choices as well. Range was quite fine - as you would expect in a desert camp. They might whip you up some custom food if you have specific food requirements. 

The entertainment (Rajasthani music and dance) and in the evening was also quite good and relaxing under open skies. They also serve alcohol (basic choices), and finger foods during the show.

The one wrinkle was the tent itself - the one initially assigned to us - 101 was very smelly. They managed to find an alternate - 122, which a bit older, worked out ok. The sheets in the first tent were also stained. So pls inspect and ask for any changes - which they will accommodate with a smile. The AC cooled down the tent within 10mins on an October evening. 

They also take you out on a desert safari - a car ride for about 6kms and then go not the camels for a 10min walk onto the dunes where you will spend about about 30mins watching the sunset. This was an amazing experience and the highlight of the trip. 

Service - Mr Bana and his staff do a good job on this front. Good team! 

All in all a good experience.

A relaxing stay near the Thar dunes - good food, sand dune rides and entertainment!

Very good desert camp provided good service and food and hospitality.
Good camel ride and cultural event with snacks.
Accommodation and food also very good.
Breakfast and water bottles provided timely .

Very good

I had the best stay here. Staff was so helpful and polite. Food was super tasty with lots of variety. Tent was neat and clean with all the facilities. Safari was awesome and most importantly people here were ready to help with anything. They even provided room heater to us on request. Just book this camp and you will not regret it

Desert camp in jaisalmer

I am genuinely shocked how WINDS DESERT CAMP in Kanoi Jaisalmer,has received such a high rating on Travel web sites.According to me our stay was an absolute disaster. The management of this place tried very hard to always save money from every possible angle and as  result  the quality of service was totally  useless
The Rajasthani Cultural show was terrible. Most of the guests if not all were Hindi speaking and yet the singing was in a language which was hardly understood by most of us.
The  bright sides of this visit were firstly that the entire staff led by Mr.Kuldeep were all very polite,respectful,friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a very good night's sleep.Besides that it was clearly obvious,in order to save money, that they wanted to provided the least amount of services and amenities to their guests.
My suggestion would be to forget this place completely

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING 

I am grateful to Trip Advisor review section to help me choosing this one. When you are around this place you will find there are plenty of desert camps. But Wind Desert camp has one unique feature. They never allow loud music and DJ at the camp. That was my reason to choose and i was not wrong. Tents are very well maintained with all amenities. i expected much less to have a real camp stay feeling. Right from welcoming you in the camp till signing you off they are there for everything you need no matter how small. How can I forget Himmat Singh ji. He was our man. Due to cold weather they arranged the cultural program inside the dining room. I think it would have been much better to experience it outside. But it was not possible. My request to fellow travelers is when you are at the cultural program try to concentrate on  the performance and cheer the artists and not talk to each other and be on your mobile phone. It's very discouraging for the performers. They get paid for the performance but an artist wants the attention and appreciation much more than money. Thank you Himmat ji once again. We won't forget your hospitality. If I ever go there Wind Desert camp will be my ONLY option.

This is the one

Our family enjoyed the adventures (jeep and camel safaris, parasailing) and experiences (trek and sunset view  in the desert, Rajasthani food and culture, star gazing) that Anshuman, the amazing host and his staff prepared for us. It was very memorable and indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of us. It was the perfect desert camp for our family who love to have fun in the outdoors. Thanks again to all the staff. Super highly recommended! 👍👍👍
