Badolina offers five ways to sleep, each with a distinct character. Independent camping means you bring your own tent and pitch it on flat desert ground, with access to all camp facilities, solar-lit poles on your pitch, and optional mattress rental. Bell tents are large family-sized canvas tents — 25 square metres — sleeping up to eight on proper mattresses with bedding, power sockets, and night lighting. The wooden Badolina Cabin is a snug double with a private balcony, air conditioning, and white-linen beds in a rustic desert aesthetic.

If you want your own kitchen, the Caravan suits a couple and includes a kitchenette, indoor and outdoor seating, and all power connections. And for the most private stay on the property, the Cabin on the Hill is a glass-fronted double cabin set apart from the rest of the camp at a higher elevation, with an unobstructed panoramic view of the Dead Sea through floor-to-ceiling windows and doors.

Badolina suits travellers who want genuine desert immersion without sacrificing comfort. Couples come for the Cabin on the Hill’s sunrise views and the bar’s late-night atmosphere. Families bring their own tents and cook in the shared kitchen. Groups of friends book adjacent bell tents and gather at the fire pits. Nature hikers use it as a base for Wadi David and Wadi Arugot — both under 700 metres on foot. If you’re after hotel luxury or a swimming pool as a given, this is probably not your match; but if an honest, character-driven camp with remarkable scenery sounds right, few places in the Dead Sea region compare.
