Our "glamper" is a 1960's retro camper that has been fully restored. The outside still looks very retro, but when you step inside you'll instantly surrender to the relaxation that awaits. Sink into the pile of fluffy pillows, take in the breathtaking boho vibe and the many amenities including A/C and Heat, wifi, a microwave, television with Netflix, refrigerator, waterless toilet and hand-washing sink. Games and snacks are tucked away in the kitchen area for you to enjoy your leisurely time at The Nest! With a large deck on the front you can take in the views of a nearby pond and a meandering creek which serves as a wildlife highway. Don't be surprised when a deer walks within view or a blue heron flies overhead. The deck is adorned with overhead lights that stretch to a nearby firepit and outdoor sitting area. On the other side of the camper you can snooze your worries away in the hammock, perfect for napping or reading a favorite book. The pond, just feet away from the camper is full of fish including crappie, catfish and bass and fishing poles are available for your use. Near the pond you'll find a small shelter house for up close views of the pond. The family of geese and ducks you'll see walking around are permanent residents of Duck's Landing, hence the name. Adjacent to the property there's a 9 hole golf course. Additionally Baldwin has several restaurants and shops to spend a leisurely day exploring our beautiful, historic town.

1 night at Wild Rest Sanctuary
I recently stayed at Wild Rest Sanctuary upon entering the property I felt like it was transported into another world as a entered the forested road that provided a sense of wunderlust anticipating what was around the next curve. It felt like I was driving backwards in time into nature. I imagined Hansel and Gretel following the trail of bread Crumbs through the forest. Upon arriving at the meadow and first setting eyes on the amenities, I imagined a medieval camp prepared for a king seeing the majestic tents and yurt. Some of the highlights that I experienced during my stay were watching the stars at night smelling the floral scent wafting on the heavy summer air. It felt like I was living in poetry. Other highlights were the well-appointed tents prepared with all amenities needed bed, and bedding, storage, lighting fans. I especially loved how user-friendly the booking website was, as well as all of the items that you could choose from, such as kits for making s'mores and optional Wi-Fi, although that was the last thing I wanted as I was enjoying my escape from civilization. The shower facilities were excellent, especially for an off-the-grid sanctuary. The host Christina was so accommodating and inviting. You could definitely see her passion for her vision of this sanctuary and it showed in her desire to provide everything needed to each person's individual desires. She has that unique magnetic personality that can't help but leave you smiling.

This was my fourth time at Basecamp. I travel through Kansas every summer, and though it’s a bit out of the way for me to go to Basecamp, I don’t mind. The spot is picturesque, and the access to the Flint Hills bike trail is awesome. Though storms came through during my visit, the large tree kept me dry, and I was able to make breakfast under the spacious shelter. The site is well maintained and clean. Basecamp is a unique experience!

Beautiful location and really kind hosts! We loved the retro camper and amazing stocked lake. My kids and I had a wonderful time exploring the property, fishing, and we slept really well. 10/10 we would stop here again on our way through Kansas!

It's a perfect place to pull off and camp for the night. I was in a 26ft u haul with a 14 for trailer and was able to easily pull in and out. If we were coming back through we would stay again.

I am very thankful Liberated land, a bit of peace and nature. I was greeted with warmth and kindness. I had my choice of areas to camp and was able to find a home away from home. It was a port in a storm as I travelled from the Pacific NW to New Orleans.

Had we known there was such a place as the Geist Farm, we would never have wasted time camping at state parks or campgrounds. This place is as close to nature as you can ever find, without the nightly sounds of loud strangers around a campfire 20 yards away, slamming car doors in the middle of the night, car alarms at midnight, or sitting around an early morning campfire with dozens of other similar campfires in close proximity. There’s just one campsite here. It’s serene. It’s beautiful. They have mowed walking trails through the woods, have a well stocked pond of catfish (catch & release), a campfire area, plenty of room to set up your tarp shelter and tents, and a bathroom and shower not too far away. It’s as close to the perfect campsite as you can ever get. Most importantly, the Geists are kind consummate professionals. They make the perfect camping experience easy. Give their camping home-away-from-home a try. You will not regret it.

Awesome family getaway! We fished, swam, played at the park, jumped on a jumping pillow, made s’mores and had an absolutely amazing time! Their pizzas (especially bacon cheeseburger) was 🔥. And staff super friendly and helpful, general store has EVERYTHING also. Beautiful and well managed! 💯

It was amazing very clean. Everyone was so nice. Helpful with anything. I definitely recommend basswood for anyone. Lots of fun things to do. There’s horseshoes cornhole, tetherball and much more swimming pool. Pickleball bounce ball for kids and anyone who wants to get on it playgrounds so much to do. We had an amazing time. It was great fun. We’ll definitely come back. Thank you.

The host was VERY helpful as I got there late and couldn’t find my way into the campsite. The site was well taken care of and very comfortable. I would go back if I were ever in need of a campsite in that area again.

Lovely time at the little forest nest. Easy to find, completely secluded, and a romantic spot to watch the stars, cook over an open fire, and enjoy the company of your loved ones. Loved all the little details! would highly recommend!

Pitch a tent, hang a hammock and relax. The meat locker in town sells beer and snacks as well as meat. The lunch at the senior center is affordable and delicious.
