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.

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.

This campground is a step below a full service campground, but it is not primitive for tent camping. Shower facilities are probably best used seasonally in warmer weather from what I could tell both bring exposed and having cold temperature only. It is a great hookup for the nearby bike trail and a quiet, clean and well kept campground, save wildlife at night. No lake waterside camping here within easy day trip distance to council grove environs and tall grass prairie preserve.
