Located just minutes from downtown St. Louis, Urban Surprise is in a secure parking area with 30 amp, water, and sewer. Close to many popular spots including Busch Stadium, Arch, Forrest Park, St Louis City SC and Convention Center. Whether you're staying for a long visit or just a quick stop, there is lots to see and do nearby. The large gravel lot (22'x60') where you'll be staying is in a fenced area with cameras and good lighting. Gate opens to 15'. Must be self-contained as there are no bathrooms on site. Potable water is available via spigot. Wifi is included. No fires and please clean up after your pets. The location is urban. It's not in a tranquil country setting. Lots of hustle and bustle, city sights and sounds. Located in the neighborhood of Hyde Park. Lots of interesting architecture and history. There is also an Airbnb located at this property and can be booked separately. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/815996783041353041?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=5012e5e0-3425-4ca5-ac41-51d5afd9f2e8Located just minutes from downtown St. Louis, Urban Surprise is in a secure parking area with 30 amp, water, and sewer.

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!

It’s a place to sleep well on the road. Like owner said it’s in the city so be ready for city sound. Lots of space and felt safe

A great overnight!
This was a really convenient spot off the interstate. I felt very safe and enjoyed the lovely garden. Also the availability of 30 amp was great! I did take a walk to nearby Hyde park and it was a good spot to walk the dog. Jeff was very communicative and responded right away when I had a question about the gate.

Nice spot near downtown St. Louis. Completely fenced with locked gate which was nice for security. The dogs enjoyed being off leash in the grass. Camper parking is level and well maintained gravel. Quiet, clean spot, would recommend.

This is a wonderful spot with a locked gate, full RV hookup, easy access to the interstate, and a few minutes from tourist spots. Great host as well!
