I'll start by saying this, the overall experience was just disappointing. The best part was the extraordinarily clean toilet there. It started from being promised a tour guide in Murata, instead we were just left stranded there and told that we will be picked up again in 1 hour. We kind of just walked around and viewed the mosque there, which was nice, but still not what we signed up and paid for. Afterwards the trip continued. We drove another ~2 hours to Ayderkul lake, which was also very nice but we unfortunately only stayed there for half an hour. My personal recommendation is to go just to this lake and stay there for a night because you'll probably get a better experience than in this camp. Anyway, we continued on our way to the camp with another 1 hour drive. Upon arrival at around 6 pm we were greeted and invited right away to ride the camels. We went there and went on for a ~10 minute with the camels, where we on our way saw that the legs of the other camels were tied together when they were "not in use" to ride. Shortly after we returned to the camp and were told food will be served in an hour. Fast forward to dinner, the food was somewhat good, but not traditional and rather European style, compared to other food we've eaten in Uzbekistan and also you had to pay additionally for beverages (which is a joke when you're already paying this amount of money for such a trip). At around 9 they let us know to go outside for the "big bonfire" which was a few sticks burning for a whole 30 minutes, but mainly due to the workers there being too lazy to get more wood, which was plenty there. The "musical evening" was also one of the workers there playing his guitar and singing a few songs from Kazakhstan, for a total of 30 minutes as well. And then expected us to pay more money again. Around 10 pm everyone went on to sleep in their tents, where the beds were basically a wooden plank with some blankets and a pillow. In the morning we had a little breakfast and then everyone drove off again. So overall, the lake and the clean toilet made me give 2/5, but overall a very sobering experience, for this amount of money you can get much more here in Uzbekistan, so would not recommend.
