What to Pack for a Desert Camping Trip

A simple checklist for your first night in the White Desert — from warm layers to a head torch.

We provide tents, mattresses, sleeping bags, blankets and all meals. Here is what to bring yourself.

Clothing

  • Light, long-sleeved layers for the day and sun protection
  • A warm fleece or down jacket, a hat and socks for the night (Nov–Mar)
  • Comfortable closed shoes or sandals with straps

Essentials

  • Sunglasses, sunscreen and lip balm
  • A head torch with a red-light mode for stargazing
  • Wet wipes and hand sanitiser
  • A refillable water bottle
  • Power bank — there is no electricity at camp

Nice to have

A small tripod for night photos, binoculars, and a scarf to protect against wind and sand.
