Weekend Trip to Basecamp Flint Hills

I bikepacked to Basecamp Flint Hills this weekend for pack-palooza. I stayed one night in the sleepshack and the second night tent camping with a large group of bikers. I hade a long ride to Allen, KS so the sleepshsck was nice not having to set up a tent. The shack was like a cabin with bunkbeds, ac, and electric hookups. The next night I tent camped and had a wonderful night sleep. Didn't wake up til 8am. Amy and her husband put on a wonderful weekend for us, really needed that getaway from my job. I'm looking forward to going back next year.

A clean and quiet little place to rest for the night. The portable toilet was very clean and had been serviced just a few days before we arrived. The shack was cool, comforable, and felt safe! I slept well knowing there was a fire alarm just in case. Would recommend and hope to be back sometime in the future!

Weekend Trip to Dry Creek Post

This is a wonderful location, peaceful, quiet, beautiful, well maintained with great facilities. The hosts were most helpful and engaging. The wildlife was abundant. And the we had a blast rain and shine. We stayed in the school bus, which was beautifully decorated and very comfortable with air conditioning . The rain on the tin roof was like being sung to sleep. But the tents were pretty awesome as well. I highly recommend this location.

The sleep shack was amazing!! After a long day on the bike it was nice to be able to sleep on a bed instead of an air mattress in a tent. Was nice and roomy and the fan gave us plenty of air movement since it wasn’t hot outside yet. Would definitely stay here again!
