Being physically homeless for a few hours or days without being technically homeless. Your body has no place to go but you do have a home somewhere, it doesn't have to be in a city to end up going urban camping, you might live in the country.
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.

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.

Setting up camp in an urban location, be it a rooftop, a derelict building, a doorway or other urban space. The same type of bedding is used as camping in a tent - a sleeping bag, a rollmat etc, except that the intention is to use our existing urban environment as a location within which to sleep.

As we walked from the club to the parking structure we noticed several squatters in a nearby alley urban camping.

1. A form of penance. What one generally does after terminating a long-term relationship in their late twenties or early thirties. Urban camping involves the acquisition of a small apartment that is sparsely equipped with furniture. In general, an urban camper should be equipped with no more than, a coffee machine, a juice press, a cot or yoga mat and a radio. The period of urban camping shall persist until the camper no longer feels guilty about the circumstances of the previous relationship and begins to acquire material possessions for the purposes of impressing others.
2. The state of furnishing of a downtown apartment that causes an Aravopoulos to say "I love what you haven't done with the place".

I was over at Hector's last night and he still doesn't have any furniture. How long is this urban camping phase gonna last?

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.”
“We are going Urban Camping down at the Coliseum tonight to get good tickets when the Box Office opens in the morning.”
