desert camp

Arid terrain lodging

A desert camp is a temporary settlement or encampment in arid terrain, whether for military operations, nomadic living, or recreational purposes.

The term covers everything from Bedouin tent clusters to modern glamping sites in the Sahara: We stayed at a desert camp outside Marrakech.

In military contexts, desert camps serve as forward bases in arid regions.
