This is a great little spot to spend a couple nights at or even a weekend. The check in process was smooth and clear and the host was well-responsive and courteous. Would recommend booking if you’re looking to spend some time in the outdoors in the city!

Cute stay! We really appreciated the complimentary water and EAR PLUGS!!! Not sure if we would’ve gotten much sleep without them. Also enjoyed the propane fire place! It rained during our stay, and we had no issues. The property itself was clean, but we saw a handful of rats - on and around the site. (Maybe 7?) We just made sure the yurt was zipped at all times. Otherwise, it did its job & gave us a place to rest our heads at the end of the long days enjoying the city!

Awesome experience! I previously tent camped at Glamp Chicago (great experience) and this time the yurt was available. It was PERFECT. The decor is cute, the extra accommodations provided are thoughtful and add to the allure of staying in a yurt. Recommend and will definitely be back!!!

This location was super convenient! it took us only 25-30 minutes to drive in to Lollapalooza from our camp site. We walked to breakfast everyday, Walgreens is just a walk across the street if you forgot anything, and we already have a planet fitness membership so it was an easy walk over to shower!! having a very clean porter potty with potable water to wash your hands on site is fantastic. we also felt super safe with the locked gate. definitely will stay here again!!

Best part is the location. It’s walking distance to tons of restaurants, and bike stations are just around the corner, making it super easy for us to explore the city . The tent setup itself was extremely comfortable and well thought out clean, cozy, and stylish inside . Wonderful landscaping. We felt safe the entire time , and really enjoyed how accessible everything was . You’re right in the city , so it’s definitely not silent at night but they thoughtfully provide earplugs, and we were still able to sleep well. That said , this is urban camping , just like it says in the listing . Just come in with the mindset that it’s camping but in the middle of Chicago and you ll love it. If you re looking for a city adventure with a twist , this is a fantastic option.
Things we brought that helped make our stay more comfortable.
* Ended up buying a box fan at the Walgreens across the street, since it was the middle of summer.
* Sound machine for sleeping

My wife and I had a great time camping here during our weekend getaway to Chicago. We had to change some plans last minute and were happy to find that this site was available! It was private which was nice, the area was also very clean and spacious. Bob was also very nice in his messages and over the phone when we called with questions. We had a great time by the fire playing games and sharing drinks, should we come to Chicago again we would definitely stay here again!

this was a fantastic site in a really cool location— it embodied the spirit of chicago well, where one can encounter surprisingly beautiful natural spaces in the midst of a sparse, aggressive urban landscape. i really enjoyed my stay and would come again!
overall pros:
- affordable!!
- well-stocked (there is a keurig! body wipes! tea!) with thoughtfully chosen furniture- the bed was actually comfortable, and it was nice to see an host doing something other than the absolute bare minimum
- good host communication
- accessible public transportation
- walkable groceries, park, laundromat, and gym
reminder to bring
- robe/slippers so you can scoot off to the portapotty
- water!!! seriously, bring water.
- wet wipes (for bathrooming)
- sleep mask— it stays fairly bright throughout the night due to streetlights and etc
- a lint roller (see below)
cons
- “Getting There/Directions” might be improved by an aerial map that highlights points of access: the alley was a bit difficult to find, and the adjacent street access was not mention
- parking (advice: Be creative but not stupid. Obey signs, chicago LOVES towing)
- the jute rug, while useful and aesthetically pleasing, sheds A LOT. you will get little twine-hairs all over everything.

Very convenient location for getting around Chicago by public transit. Very secure urban location.

I was delighted by the plants and to have some camping feels while in Chicago proper. My purple gym was nearby and I kept up with my workouts too!

So this review is coming from a Hipcamper whose favorite sites so far include 80 private acres in the Black Hills, a mountain top site in the Rockies, a ledge high along the Blue Ridge and on the Superior waters in the UP.
But we had a concert and a Cubs game to attend and this turned out to be an excellent base camp for us. Aside from the fact I even found a campsite in Chicago.
Regardless of the fact you are right in middle of the 3rd largest city in the nation, that is the charm. The traffic and the noise is really a part of the experience. We never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. Including anywhere we walked. The site is located in a great area.
Eating options are endless within walking distance. We walked the Cubs game.
The site itself is fully landscaped and welcoming. Definitely its own oasis. The yurt was perfect in all ways for comfort. We simply rented both sites available so we had all the property to ourselves. I would suggest it, personally. We pitched a tent on the strip as that’s where I slept.
The port-o-let was perfect. The firepit was a nice as it was a little cold during our stay. We made use of the power available and a nice extension cord is provided.
The parking is challenging, but you have to understand you’re in Chicago.
The host communicated well and does a lot to help you make the most out of your stay.
At the end of the day for me anyway, life is an adventure. And this was a perfect way to create the great experience for us.

It’s a fantastic spot both in the accommodation and access to public transport (the 94 and 76 bus stops are right there). Also, having IHOP, Popeyes, and Walgreens within short walking distance was very nice.
The host was very easy to work with and the yurt was very comfortable. I will be going back again — six stars out of five!
