Urban Camping

A hippie-like lifestyle consisting of hopping around from place to place, party to party, in an urban setting. Urban campers often crash where they please whether it be a random couch, floor, bathroom, etc.. Urban campers often do not make it home for days at a time to shower and/or handle any sort of responsibility.

The life of an urban camper is rewarding and adventurous.

Urban Camping

The act of setting up camp or sleeping in an Urban environment without the luxuries of home. This can include sleeping in your car, passing out on the sidewalk, spending all night in line, setting up camp on the streets or even camping in a park that is far to close to a major metropolitan area to be considered “roughing it.”

Billy has been urban camping for a few days now, he knows he can get a cheap tent at wal mart, that boy is a damn fool. He ought to pay attention to the bus schedules so he wouldn't end up in the woods like that.
