Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Located on the Flint Hills Trail State Park in Allen Kansas, Basecamp Flint Hills offers camping in the scenic Flint Hills of Kansas. BFH is 20 miles north of the world capital of gravel cycling, Emporia KS, and 20 miles east of historical Council Grove. Ideally suited for tent camping, BFH has hammock trees and shaded acreage. Two back-in camper sites with power and water are also available for those who prefer a bit more luxury. This is a community style campground where picnic tables and campfires might be shared with your neighbors. We encourage you to expand your circle and enjoy the experience! Seasonal facilities include an open air, cold water shower and port-a-potty available April through October. Visit our website for a campground map and information on local amenities - www.basecampflinthills.com We do not currently have adequate infrastructure to accommodate horses.

Lovely stay
We had a great weekend at Basecamp! Over Easter weekend there was nobody else out there which we loved the privacy. The shower and restroom shack were nice amenities! We also enjoyed having hookups for our tiny trailer. The site was close a walk/bike trail that we walked some of.

Beautiful Sunset
We stayed in late March and there was a porta potty which we didn’t expect but was very nice, clean, and convenient. The view from site 2 was breathtaking at sunset! I highly recommend this Hipcamp for those who like to hike, hammock, or would simply like a weekend away in the beautiful flint hills.

Absolutely recommend!
Excellent place to stay. Amy/Darius were super easy to work with and very professional. They accommodated us (out of their normal season) so we could hike the Flint Hills Trail in 5 days. Absolutely recommend!

Convenient and super clean!
My wife and I just took up an ebike hobby, while camping is something we've always done on and off. This past weekend we decided to try Basecamp Flint Hills to camp and hit the Flint Hills Nature Trail. The day we arrived, the camp was clean and empty. Even the portapotty was clean. The camp host, Amy, was easy to chat with through the app and through Facebook as well. I highly recommend Basecamp Flint Hills as a place to camp. This town is small and doesn't have much more than the trail which is exactly 20 miles from either Osage City and Council Grove on the trail, which is where you can find food and amenities.

Great campground in KS
This is a great little campground out in the middle of nowhere Kansas. It is right next to the Flint Hills Nature Trail bike trail. I stayed in RV site 2 which has an electric hookup. There was also a pit toilet which is seasonal (through October I believe). Also outdoor showers for warmer weather.
