Across the street from the Marwar Bus Stand in the north of town is the Hotel Brahma, which has rooms with common bath and with bath. It can be a little noisy, because it is on the main road.
The Amar Hotel, in the center of town away from the main road, is a good place with a garden. Rooms with common bath and rooms with bath.

Where To Stay - Middle
The RTDC Sarovar Tourist Bungalow, by the lake, has rooms with bath. The Pushkar Palace Hotel is a nice place that has simple rooms with common bath. Good doubles with bath and hot water. A/C suites. Some of the cheaper rooms have an excellent view of the lake, and there is a small garden right next to the lake. It has a vegetarian restaurant. The cheaper rooms will be full later in the day, so if you arrive late, come the next day. It is a nice place.
Tourist Village
During the camel festival a tented village is set up by the RTDC right next to the Camel Fair. A standard tent, a hut. A double deluxe tent. A dorm bed.
The demand is high for these tents. To book a tent you have to phone the Rajasthan Tourist Corporation in Jaipur. You are supposed to pay in full 45 days before the fair begins.
