If you like camping, nature, and unique outsider art sculptures, then this is a must-see. You can sleep beneath the stars and watch beautiful sunsets while surrounded by fantastical quiver trees.

Hundreds of quiver trees line the horizon. Here, there’s nothing but fire to keep you company. You can start a campfire and enjoy a cold one while soaking up the splendid scenery. Bear in mind, accommodations are rustic.
