This is the best of both worlds!

It is an absolutely perfect blend of camping and being in a big city. It is very close to downtown and area attractions. There is public transportation nearby, a laundromat is 1.5 miles away, there is a grocery store within 3 miles. The site is in the rear off the alley and not at all visible from the street and behind a very tall locked privacy fence with cameras covering the property. So despite being in a semi sketchy area, we feel completely safe. There is a huge yard that our pups LOVED running around in. It's a nice yard, so please pick up after your babies so Jeff will continue to allow pets. Jeff and Kim are very nice people, they came and met with us briefly after we got settled. This is a dream Hipcamp. As full time travelers we stay where we find a great situation- combo of site, money making opportunities and how charming the area is. This spot is the best of St. Louis, all city yet a beautiful private oasis. We've extended our stay, Jeff gave us a discount for a 4 week booking. This is by far the most ideal Hipcamp we've had. Thanks Jeff! We would gladly book again.

It is a very private site. All hook-ups work without a hic-up.

Very close to the Arch in St. Louis

Urban Surprise is a great camping area if you want to be close to the Arch in St. Louis. It felt very safe with the fenced and locked camping area and had full hookups. Everything worked well, it was quiet and Jeff was very responsive with any questions. The only problem that we had was that the alley that you use to enter the camping area is not level and has big dips in it. As we left, we ended up bending one of our scissors stabilizer jacks as it dug into the ground backing out. It was no longer usable after that. We have a 19ft travel trailer and they are probably closer to the ground than some of the big rigs. I think it could be improved if a load of rock was dumped there but that may not be an option since the alley belongs to the city.

Jeff and his space far exceeded our expectations! Our event was postponed and Jeff was graciously accommodating! The Space was clean and “safe”. Take extra care with larger units entering and exiting as the alley is very uneven. 5 stars!
