There is a camping hotel called Phlogiston in Russia, located approximately 20 kilometers away from the city center. It offers campsites in hotel parking lots and has surveillance cameras for security. The campsite-hotel is fairly new and provides electrified pitches that are mostly like parking spaces rather than traditional camping spots. The sanitary facilities are rustic but kept clean. Amenities include a small swimming pool, sauna, and barbecue area. There is also a large concrete slab available for draining gray and black water.
Ideal for a stopover to visit Saint Petersburg, located 1 hour away from the city center. Accessible by bus 14 or 28, or by metro line 3, Lomonosovskaya station (costs around 90 - 80 rubles, equivalent to 2.50 €). The facility is clean, but the spaces are small. Expect a typical Russian reception.
The location is great in terms of safety, but there might be some noise issues due to its proximity to a busy road bridge and ongoing construction sites.
