Urban Camper Hostel's FAQ:

  • Urban Camper Hostel is a low-budget hostel-concept focusing on social and affordable accommodation for travelers keen to stray a little from the beaten tracks of Copenhagen. 
  • The theme is indoor camping, so when you stay with us, you’ll be camping in the city because we have pitched our tents inside an old office building so you’re safe from the weather outside.In true camping spirit, at our urban campground, you’ll get the genuine spirit of camping, but without the irritating discomforts of actual camping – no rain, no mosquitoes just a fun experience like no other. 
  • Our goal is to do both camping and hostel life with style and we hope that you’ll join us in the bar to meet your fellow urban campers and make new friends while sharing a drink or two. In short, we are like no other place and we really want to share the special feeling of the Urban Camper sentiment with you.
