Our Honest Take
From the Hostelpedia team. No BS, just real advice
Urban Camper is the choice for travelers who are over the mega-hostel formula. The tent concept is genuinely fun, the Nørrebro location is authentic Copenhagen, and the adults-only policy keeps the vibe mature. You won't get the massive social events or facilities of Next House or Steel House, but you'll get something they can't offer: a neighborhood experience and a bar where you actually remember everyone's name. Best for second-time Copenhagen visitors or anyone who values character over amenities.
🎯 Insider Tips
- 1Nørrebrogade has the best cheap eats in Copenhagen. Shawarma King and the falafel spots are backpacker essentials.
- 2Jægersborggade is a 10-minute walk. Coffee Collective there is worth the detour.
- 3The 5A bus runs from Nørrebro to City Hall Square in 15 minutes. Cheaper than the metro for single trips.
- 4Ask at the bar about Assistens Cemetery. It's where Kierkegaard and Hans Christian Andersen are buried, and locals picnic there.
🔥 Why We Love It
The indoor tent concept is unique in Copenhagen. You'll talk about where you slept long after you leave.
Nørrebro is where Copenhagen's creative class actually lives. Authentic food, indie shops, zero tourist traps.
Adults-only means no school groups. The bar crowd is interesting and conversations happen naturally.
Happy hour at the bar makes Copenhagen's drink prices almost bearable. Pool tables help too.
8.3 rating from 4,300+ reviews despite being off the beaten path. People go out of their way to stay here.
📖 The Full Story
Urban Camper reimagines what a hostel can be. Instead of standard bunks, you sleep in large indoor tents. It sounds gimmicky, but it works: the tents offer genuine privacy and comfort, and the novelty factor is a built-in conversation starter. The concept draws a slightly older, more relaxed crowd than the big central hostels.
The location in Nørrebro is the real draw for anyone who wants to experience the Copenhagen that locals actually live in. Jægersborggade (one of the city's best streets for independent shops and coffee) is a short walk. Superkilen park is nearby. The Nørrebrogade strip has some of the cheapest food in the city, including shawarma spots that locals swear by.
The bar area with pool tables, live sports, and happy hour is where the social scene happens. It's intimate and friendly, not the organized-chaos of a 500-bed hostel. The terrace is a good spot for summer evenings. Evening entertainment is programmed but low-key.
The trade-off is distance from the center: Nørrebro is a 20-minute bus ride or 30-minute walk from Strøget. But the metro and buses run frequently (metro 24/7), and staying in Nørrebro means experiencing a Copenhagen that most tourists never see.
