It was a great experience. First, after driving the car to the centralized parking lot, the hotel will soon send a car to pick you up, and you can reach the camping base in about 10 minutes. It was so exciting to sit in the scenic area's surfing car and take us up and down the hills. We booked a double room with a private bathroom. The room was very spacious and clean, and there was enough hot water. When we arrived, there was a buffet prepared by the campsite. Our family of eight ordered meals, especially the barbecued skewers of the special salt pond beach sheep, which were served to us one after another. It was really bold. We could walk around in the desert and stop to take pictures at will. After dinner, there were some sand sliding facilities for us to play. There are also fireworks, bonfire parties, etc., coupled with the starry sky, it is really beautiful.
The key point is the service here, it's really great! My girlfriend accidentally lost her phone while sandboarding. The hotel staff was more anxious than us and sent five or six people to look for it. In the end, they comforted us and hoped that we could adjust our mood. It was really great. What’s even more fortunate is that after we left the hotel, other tourists picked up our phone. The hotel staff excitedly contacted us immediately and helped us send the phone back. Thank you so much! All in all, it was a great experience and I hope I will have the opportunity to go there again in the future.

A very good trip. After all, there are too many choices in the desert hotel. I am afraid to step on thunder. Fortunately, I am not disappointed and I am full of harvest. The boss is particularly good. There are not many words but responsive. Hahaha, this is perfect. The northwestern man is enthusiastic, the luggage is not necessary to take it by himself, the scorpion is also for you to catch, the watermelon is enough for you to take care of, and when you finally leave, I called the driver to help me bring the milk tea that I was thinking about. The service was very good. The room is very clean as a whole, hot water in the desert is available 24 hours a day, and the boss’s barbecue craftsmanship is also very good. This trip ends perfectly. If you have the opportunity, you will come again. The southerners are very happy with this desert trip! The boss also took a video with a drone, and the harvest was full!
The most satisfying thing about this trip to the northwest is the service of the store Ronaldinho. Whether it is a variety of sightseeing projects or accommodations in the desert area, they are very responsible for answering and trying their best to arrange, very enthusiastic and no pits at the same time.
This time I chose desert camping. The first time I lived in a desert tent, the environment in the tent was much better than expected. However, for children with low collars, I need to pay attention to it because there are bonfires and fireworks at night, so I have to wait for 10:30 in the evening to be quiet. In addition, it is mentioned that because they all live in tents, there are always people who get up at night, and people who get up in the morning to watch the sunrise, so you don't have to consider tent rooms for high sleep requirements.

The first desert trip of the Southerners
The boss will contact in advance whether we need to pick up the car, we will go to Zhongweinan
The boss found us a taxi to the desert entrance
Then the camp SUV came out to pick you up and arrived at the camp in about 10 minutes
Camp at Ningmeng border
Scratching in the camp is free, other items can buy tickets with the boss
It's all fun!
There is a bonfire party in the evening, everyone from all over the place to let go of themselves
Playing happily hahahaha
We were glad we stayed in the cabin because we were free to go to the toilet
It’s a bit cold until midnight, and it’s very comfortable to sleep with the air conditioner on.
The wooden house is very good and soundproofed, but the desert is originally quiet
Sleeping very well at night
The camp has a beautiful lake and ducks.
Potato beef and tomato scrambled eggs at camp at night
The weight is large and the price is very fair
Breakfast is free, simply drink some porridge rolls and eggs
When I left, I told the boss in advance to send it to the desert entrance to find a taxi to pick it up.

The second brush hotel, I didn't play enough last year, this year I booked 4 nights directly! It is a good hotel in the entire desert star field, the environment is also great, Shapo is also great! Room hygiene is good! The food tastes good and the price is super reasonable. The service of the key boss is also in place. Super good! The atmosphere of the bonfire party at night is also very good. The surrounding houses are simply incomparable to hang other homes!

I stayed in the store for 2 days, stayed in the sand view room for one day and lived in the tent for one day. I had to give the store 5 stars. The result seemed to be clicked wrong. This weather is not cold at all, and it is fine during the day. The tent area is very large, very spacious, and electrified. The washing place is next to it. The bathroom in the public area is very clean. Stayed for 2 days, desert
The project is also played. In order to see the stars, it is also a fight. The most important thing is that the store also has research activities. I followed the leader to feel the desert research activities. It was fun. Although I am not a child, I also like it very much. Very suitable for parent-child play.

GGuest UserI absolutely loved this place! I’m writing this as a foreigner who went with 4 other foreigners for a special birthday weekend. First, the service. We have good Chinese proficiency, but those with limited to none will be fine. Most of the communication and coordination is handled via WeChat - which can auto translate. 东 “Dong” was our main contact. He rocked and gave us a real experience. He shuttled us in the sand jeep, gifted me a cake for my birthday, and was just an overall cool guy. Thanks! Second, the location and accommodations. If you stay near Desert Star, there’s a lot of people and campsites - that area seems like a bit of a tourist funnel. This area is located in the REAL sand dunes area. Further North, you actually cross into Inner Mongolia. The separation and distance is worth it. Makes for brighter stars and a more authentic experience. Third, the food. They were able to coordinate a whole lamb to be roasted for my birthday. It was absolutely extraordinary. The sides for it were some of the best I had on the entire trip - they have some skilled chefs there. This place has great reviews, and it’s worth it. I do recommend this to foreigners, and I hope I can return one day.
GGuest UserIn the hot summer, I chose the Desert Camping Tent Hotel as my vacation spot. Here I experienced an unprecedented adventure. The interior of the tent is fully equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the interior decoration is full of desert mystery. The desert scenery outside the tent is even more refreshing, as if isolated from the world. There is a bonfire party in the evening, which the children especially like. There is a free pick-up and drop-off parking service. The boss helps with luggage and is very enthusiastic. The public bathrooms are clean and sandboards are provided.
I highly recommend it to desert travelers. Looking forward to the second brush next year
GGuest UserCamping in the Tengger Desert is so beautiful. You can enjoy the desert starry sky, watch the vast Milky Way, and many entertainment projects, such as camel riding, desert surfing, desert volleyball, etc. There is also a desert bonfire party in the evening, and when there are many people, There is a fireworks show, which is worth experiencing. If you come to Ningxia, you should go to the desert to experience it. This time is really a good experience✌🏻
AAnonymous UserThere are many desert camps in Tengger and Zhongwei. This time I chose Xingci Camp. There is a camp car to pick you up when you drive to the camp parking lot. Stay in the sand view room with a separate bathroom, which is a good choice for families with children. The boiled lamb for dinner was delicious. You can also play various desert activities in the camp (camels, surfing cars, motorcycles). It is strongly recommended to play desert activities in the camp. The queues in Shapotou Desert area during the summer vacation are so long that you doubt your life. Here you can save the time of queuing. The service is very good and it is a very good desert experience.
GGuest UserHighly recommend Shapotou Xingyue International Camping Base! It completely subverted my imagination of camping. Air conditioning and electric blankets are all available in the luxury tent. There is no need to worry about temperature difference at night. The most pleasant surprise is the bonfire party, the staff sings and dances with everyone, and the atmosphere is directly full. Riding camels during the day, playing sandboarding, watching the stars at night, the itinerary is super rich. The service is also super intimate, and any needs can be responded in time. It is definitely an unforgettable desert trip!
QQinantingsunenThe room has been upgraded. The boss is super nice. The unlimited sleep and drink at the buffet are super cost-effective. There are fireworks in the evening. It is very quiet at night. The kids love it. I wish the boss a prosperous business.
GGuest UserThe second brush homestay is too suitable for relaxing and playing endlessly. I have been with my friends before, and I feel that I have not had a good time when I leave, so I have time to choose this unique homestay again this time. The tableware is complete, the room is well-equipped, there is everything in the desert, and the boss service efficiency is also very high, the room is very clean, the space is large, the restaurant is clean, and it is safe to eat. It is a very cost-effective family. There are many projects around you can play, have fun, it is worth it,
PpcliceThe Starry Sky RV we stayed in had plenty of space and was very clean. There was plenty of hot water for washing, and it also had a smart toilet. Although there are not many programs on TV, the mobile phone signal is still very good and there is no problem surfing the Internet. There were only two problems. One was that the motor of the starry sky ceiling curtain was broken and could only be pushed and pulled by hand. The other was that the air conditioner would automatically shut down after heating for a period of time, resulting in a low temperature inside the RV. Fortunately, there is an electric blanket, so heating is basically no problem.
The camp staff are enthusiastic and solve problems in a timely manner. We ordered beef hotpot and dry pot cauliflower for dinner at the restaurant. The price was a bit high, but the taste was okay, and there was a lot of beef.
The bonfire and fireworks were nice. There is a fee for outdoor stargazing during the peak season, but I didn't participate due to bad weather.
It was fun to have unlimited sandboarding. You didn’t need to bring your own sandboard, and you could pick up sand-digging tools in the camp, all of which were very clean.
Overall, it's a good campsite. It was just too windy during the May Day holiday.
