Review of Rum Stars Camp
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 16, 2021
Very nice hosts, Ahmed and his brothers are just so kind, funny and very interesting.. They told us many stories and spent the evening around the fireplace chatting :)

The too day tour was magical but we would have stayed for more days if we had the time.

Wadi rum is marvelous unique place and the experience with rumstars was so lovely.

Hesitating between 3 and 4* based on my experience... will go with 4 as staff was friendly and welcoming, but I'd like to point out a few things for the benefits of future travelers:
- Large camp: up to 25 tents/50 people; luckily for us, it was far from full when we visited, but would probably choose a smaller camp in non COVID times as this could turn into a "tourist factory" very easily. Liked that they used solar power, so no noisy generator. Note they are adding ~5 new luxury houses (concrete, not traditional tent style) with private bathrooms - personally not a fan of that, but will leave everyone to make up their own mind
- Huge tent for dining, with tables by the side, sitting on some kinds of built-in benches by the wall (surprisingly no chair anywhere in the camp), leaving a lot of space in the middle, which felt very, very weird; would suggest using round tables and chairs, which would make it easier to communicate with other travelers
- Very comfortable camp: good bed, shared bathrooms (no hot water though during our stay, but plans to fix)
- Day activities: good overall, but not as comprehensive as I'd had hoped (hiking day is ~3h of hiking; Jeep tour skipped a few sights mentioned in the program, which could have been covered by shortening the lunch break); also, guides could provide more information on the sites seen, and stay close to the group at all times (vs. hiking ahead of us, on the hiking day)
Good experience overall - Wadi Rum is magical! - but some room for improvement and things to consider on the size/amenities of the camp, based on your personal preferences...

We stayed there two days and two night. It was a amazing experience. Compared to the fancy camp site, I like this kind of camp site more. It shows local people's living style. The room is clean and the tour guide is good. I really love it!

Did two nights here during our odyssey around Jordan and loved it! The accommodation is basic but perfectly comfortable, there are toilets and showers available and mealtimes were a real treat too with some delicious traditional food. All the Bedouin staff here were lovely - there are differing levels of English - but they were all very sweet and eager to help. We did the all-day jeep safari which was just stunning and our guide Abdul was just superb; a lovely guy who was a mine of information about Bedouin culture. Highly recommend this unique experience.

Spent 2 nights at the camp and thoroughly enjoyed it. The tents are simple but comfy and the food was good and plentiful. A friend and I did a one day jeep excursion with Abdul, who was a terrific guide. It was a long day - 10 hours! - but we saw lots of sights in Wadi Rum, and Abdul was really informative about Bedouin culture and traditions. He also cooked us a great lunch. It was a great experience staying in a Bedouin camp in the middle of this incredible desert - loved the silence at night and the isolation. Would thoroughly recommend.

We have been at Rum Stars Camp with friends and our 12 years old son.
The Camp is situated inside the wonderful Wadi Rum Desert and everything about the tour was perfectly organised.
The staff and Ahmed have been all very kind and friendly and they cooked a great dinner.
The tent was cosy, very clean and warm. I would say that everything was perfect and surrounded by an amazing view of the Red Desert.
We definitely recommend Rum Stars Camp!
