This spot is super convenient for running the flint hills trail. It’s very clearly marked and only about a quarter mile from Allen and the butcher shop that has snacks and premade sandwiches. Amy even gave us a heads up about a community breakfast the next day that before a long day on the trail which was much needed! Thanks BFH!

What a beautiful location! Everything was exactly as described. I walked every inch of the land and have zero complaints about anything! The shower shack is perfect for those hot days when you need to rinse off. Plenty of space for activities. Overall just an awesome spot for relaxing! Highly recommend.

Our Go To spot in The Flint Hills
Have stayed here 4 or 5 times now. We just love the environment. It is so peaceful and relaxing. The hosts have really created something special with this place. There is a porta potty, outdoor shower (warm shower when the hosts are there), picnic tables, fire pit area, and a shelter with a roof. I compete in a lot of cycling events in The Flint Hills and one of my favorite things about these events is coming here to camp. I'm looking forward to the next trip!

This was a great stay! A little confusing to get to, but once we were there we were blessed by the abundant grass & stores of good free firewood. It was also nice to have the place to ourselves.

Great camping in the Flint Hills
Great stay at Base Camp Flint Hills! BFH is a perfect camping spot for anyone enjoying the Flint Hills Nature Trail or the surrounding countryside. Darius and Amy are wonderful hosts. Camping in early April means a chance to see controlled prairie burns at night -- very cool. Looking forward to my next stay there.

The hosts have a beautiful piece of property right off the Flint Hills nature trail with electric and water hook ups. What more does a cyclist need?

Awesome Observing for Stargazers
Great place to bring your telescope! Far enough away from city lights to see the stars. And right on the Flint Hills Nature Trail. Ride your bike by day and observe the stars and deep sky objects at night.

We loved breaking in our new travel trailer at this location. It was very clean and well maintained, and has the cleanest porta potty ever!!! There was plenty of firewood with plenty of rings and cooking grills. The views of the sunset was awesome. Also its Very close to a bike/walking trail which our dogs loved too!

Great little campground!
We've camped at BFH - Boondocks twice in the past couple week. First weekend in the tent area, this past weekend in camper spot #1. When we arrived, we noticed right away how well maintained the property was. The camping areas were mowed as well as paths to the $hit shack and the Shower Shack. The porta-potty was clean and smelled fresh (you could view the maintenance record on the door). Amy quickly answered any questions we had via messaging. It was relaxing sitting out by the fire looking up at the stars. We live in Olathe but its definitely worth the drive down. Emporia is just 15 minutes from the grounds in the event you need to get something (which we did both times down). We are hoping to get one more overnight in before the season ends.

Quiet, calm, and pretty flat so setting up a tent is no problem. Porta potty was clean. Nice place to just enjoy some peace.

Great stop for Flint Hills Trail!
We had a great experience, having the campsite all to ourselves. We did rustic camping on the tent side. There was one picnic table, and one fire ring with one grill in that area. Since we were alone, it was perfect! We would definitely visit again under the same circumstances, but I might avoid at a busier time. We cooked all of our meals over a fire on the grill, which had enough space for one pan and one percolator. If we were sharing the fire with others, odds are good we'd be waiting or making other wait for access to the fire pit at meal times. If you're car camping, bring your own folding table and propane stove, and that wouldn't be an issue at all. The camper pad sites 1 & 2 had their own fire pit, and they had the closest proximity to the port-a-potty and the shower. The area with those sites was prime! We loved the proximity to the trail, the site was pretty quiet (far away highway sounds occasionally, but mostly calm) and the fall colors were absolutely lovely in Mid-October.

Starry Night
Beautiful, well-maintained, off the beaten path. The night I was there there was a new moon and the stars were amazing. You could even clearly make out the Milky Way. Just park/pitch your tent under a shade tree and enjoy.
