No better way to experience the desert!
As promised, this was an un-touristy experience. We took a jeep 35k into the desert; met Frank (the camp guide) and my 12 yr old camel guide. Then we sent off for dunes on a 1.5 hr camel ride (really, this is as long as you want to be on a camel). After the ride, my guide left me in the dunes for an hour by myself, until I was picked up to go to the camp. This sounds bad, being left in the middle of the dunes, but for me it was a very peaceful and spiritual experience. If you had your significant other with you, you could take this as a romantic moment to watch the sunset. After an hour, I was taken to camp, got some great food, and has a wonderful night's sleep under the stars. I never felt overly pampered and my guides always allowed me to enjoy the experience the way I wanted to. They didn't try to interfere with the experience, they just were attentive if I needed anything. It was exactly the kind of non-touristy trip I was looking for, and that's not always easy to find in India.
I would highly suggest going with Sahara travels; they really do care about their customer's experience. They give you the trip you want, not the trip that's the easiest or most common among tourists.

Superawesum experience with sahara travels...
The one night tour: in the morning Mr. Bissa drove us in the jeep with the camel man in the back, and stopped at an abandoned town, which is a really fascinating place to see. He gave us the background in a very nice way. I was really happy to stop by there since I am very much interested in the history of silk route. Also the interesting point was that the town was built and occupied by the Brahmin caste and the guide was from the same caste. He will tell you some spooky stories about the place, which added to the mystery.
Then we drove more, and got dropped off where our camels were waiting. Each person gets his/her own camel, and they will be lead, unless you specify otherwise. If you are experienced with camels and want to take your own, that's fine with them, as long as I've seen. I have been on camels before, so I asked them if I could lead my own and they were ok with it. And I was really happy with the camel since he was very well trained and docile. We saw some wildlife too such as gazelles and different kinds of birds.
We arrived to the camp after about two hours or so and settled in, getting to know the other travelers and such. It was a really nice bonding time. While we were checking out the surrounding dunes and taking photos they prepared dinner and fire for us. The dinner overall was fantastic. We had asked for beers before (specify the number) so we had plenty to drink and we had some options for different curries. You're in luck if you're vegetarian. I think they usually cook vegetarian curries, but even as a meat eater I thought the food was good.
Sleeping under the stars is amazing! You don't have to sleep on sand since they provide metal frame and plastic weave beds (with bedding on top). I thought it was quite comfortable and warm. I had a good sleep.
In the morning the breakfast was plenty with toast, eggs, jam, etc. The only thing missing was coffee, so you might want to bring some with you if you're a coffee freak like me.
We had a fun camel ride also after a lazy morning, and then we headed back to town.
From what I've seen in the reviews everyone has a good time with this company so do it, I think it's worth the higher price. I wouldn't want to risk anything just for a few rupees.

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.Absolutely great...really recommend it !
We chose the dinner safari trip (not overnight), and headed out in the early afternoon. After a stop in a deserted city, we boarded our camels and rode for about an hour. Honestly, 15 minutes would've probably been enough.
The camel ride was mostly through bushy desert -- not desert sand dunes. However, the ride finishes in a desolate area with beautiful sand dunes. We had about an hour there until it got dark (it was winter so early sunset). Our tour group was the only group at the dunes (8 of us), so there was definitely some privacy. Nothing beats sitting on a dune and watching the sun set (and the sunsets in the desert are beautiful). Make sure you ask for beer when booking your trip and they'll bring beer for you along with them -- a beer in hand was great for the sunset.
Afterwards, we eat a group dinner prepared in the desert, around a campfire, and exchanged traveler stories. We were then driven back to Jaisalmer.
One last thing, and this is very important -- ask the owner where to find the best lassi in Jaisalmer. There are imitators, but only one place makes the real deal, and he'll tell you all about it.
