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.

My husband and I stayed in the Sleep Shack which was great for the two of us. Since we were there the middle of the week we had the campgrounds all to ourselves. We loved it!

We spent two nights in the sleep shack. We were the only ones in the campground. The sleep shack was great for staying during a heat wave. Clean, all good. Lovely place, amazing view of the stars at night.

Weekend Trip to Basecamp Flint Hills
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!

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!
