We will be housed in two tented cabins - $20: "These Eco-Lodges are designed to provide a comfortable camping experience in the natural desert environment. Each cabin is air-cooled and outfitted with two double bed sized bedsteads, a wood fired stove, electric lights and overhead fan, table and chairs. Large picture window flaps on either end allow cross ventilation when desired and unobstructed views of Ivanpah Valley. The bedsteads are designed for sleeping bag usage, although linens and blankets are available for guests wishing them. Nearby amenities include a flush toilet lavatory and hot shower building, an outdoor hot tub with scenic views of the sky and valley below and an outdoor amphitheater with fire pit for small groups. A continental style breakfast is served each morning for cabin guests."
