why stay in a DOME?
Superadobe domes aren’t just accommodations; they’re an integral part of the Happy Castle experience. Staying in one connects you to our commitment to sustainable living and innovative architecture while offering a tranquil retreat surrounded by the desert’s natural beauty. Every stay directly supports the growth of our commune, funding the construction of additional domes, infrastructure, and creative spaces for us all. Every night spent in a dome furthers our goal of increasing the visibility and adoption of sustainable desert building practices worldwide.
Whether you’re visiting as a camper or attending our annual Art Festival, staying in a Superadobe Dome Home offers a memorable, comfortable, and eco-friendly way to experience desert living while immersing yourself in the values and vision of Happy Castle.
SUPERADOBE EARTHBAG DOME CABINS
Stay in one of our unique Superadobe Earthbag dome cabins and experience the charm of off-grid living in the heart of Happy Castle. These handcrafted structures blend sustainability, comfort, and artistry, offering campers a one-of-a-kind retreat unlike any traditional camping experience.
THE BASIC DOME CABIN
Our standard Superadobe dome cabin is a single 18-foot diameter structure, perfect for individuals, couples, or small groups seeking a cozy and eco-friendly stay. Each dome comes equipped with:
Built-in Lighting and Power: Solar-powered lights and outlets for basic electrical needs.
Unique Aesthetic: A stunning, naturally-insulated earthen design that stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
While the domes provide essential comforts, they do not include kitchen or restroom facilities. Guests will have access to our communal campground amenities, including restrooms, showers, and outdoor cooking areas—just as our Villagers do.
UPGRADED MULTI-DOME CABINS
For those seeking more space or a multi-room experience, we are planning to offer upgraded cabins. However, these likely won't be built for sometime as we first prioritize housing for our Villagers:
Two-Dome Cabins: Ideal for families or small groups needing separate sleeping and lounging spaces.
Three and Four-Dome Cabins: Designed for larger groups, with options for added privacy and functionality.
These expanded cabins will offer the same sustainable features as our single domes, along with additional comfort and flexibility at a higher price point.

FIND YOUR PERFECT STAY AT HAPPY CASTLE
At Happy Castle, our Superadobe dome cabins offer more than just a unique and comfortable camping experience—they give you the flexibility to customize your stay based on your preferences. Whether you’re seeking community vibes or a serene escape, we’ve got you covered.
Stay in a Dome Micro-Village
For those who love the energy of shared spaces and meeting new people, our dome villages are the perfect choice. These small clusters of domes are situated near other campers, creating a vibrant, social atmosphere. They’re ideal for individuals or smaller groups who want to connect with fellow adventurers while enjoying the comforts of a cozy dome cabin.
Opt for a Remote Retreat
If peace and solitude are more your style, choose to stay in a dome cabin located in a more remote area of the campground. These domes are perfect for those who crave quiet evenings under the stars or a space to recharge amidst nature.
Multi-Dome Villages for Larger Groups
Planning a group getaway? Some of our Dome Cabins are arranged closely together to form a small village. These multi-dome villages are an excellent option for family reunions, retreats, or gatherings of friends. With two-dome, three-dome, and even four-dome setups available, your group can enjoy shared proximity while still having the privacy of separate domes. These configurations allow campers and festivalgoers to create intimate mini-communities within the campground, perfect for fostering connection and camaraderie.
Wherever you choose to stay, our dome cabins are ready to offer you an unforgettable experience in the heart of Happy Castle!

Expanding the Commune and Campground
At Happy Castle, progress never stops. While we’re dedicated to growing the Eco-Village and Commune, we’re equally committed to expanding the campground to offer more opportunities for guests to experience life at Happy Castle.
Our goal is to regularly build additional Superadobe dome cabins, increasing capacity for campers and enhancing their experience. Whether it’s a single-dome retreat or several multi-dome structures arranged into a micro-village, each new cabin adds more variety and options for campers seeking a unique stay.
This ongoing expansion ensures that more people can enjoy the magic of Happy Castle, whether they’re attending our Art Festival, taking part in a workshop, or simply camping under the stars. Every new cabin represents a step forward in creating a space where art, sustainability, and community thrive together.
