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 will 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.

Easy process to book. Host gave good directions on how to get to the property. Just showed up, parked in the tent area, and pitched our 2P tent for a quick night of sleep. Woke up and visited Tallgrass Prairie the next morning. Thanks for offering this convenient camping option!

Tent Camping
I love Base Camp Allen. It has a shelter with tables; tree coverage (for tent and hammock) campers; running water; fire wood, cook grate, awesome outdoor shower; clean port-a-pot and it’s right off the Flight Hills Trails which allows you to ride bikes, walk or hike. The owners keep the area well maintained too.

A peaceful oasis
I had a wonderful time at Basecamp Flint Hills. I was the only person there for most nights, but the space was serene and convenient for my trip. There was plenty of space, and the on site amenities were just as described. Plenty of trees for shady tent spaces or hammocks, and the nightly starry skies were awesome. I would book here again for sure!

Gem in the Flint Hills
BaseCamp Flint Hills never disappoints. Beautiful, peaceful, clean and plenty of firewood and plenty of space to spread out under the many trees. The outdoor shower was refreshing after a hot day cycling on the Flint Hills Trail. The porta potty is always super clean.

Great Spot
I secured a spot to sleep in my car due to a last minute cancellation the week of unbound. The owners were on site and extremely helpful even though I didn't arrive until close to 530 PM. Overall, the property was exactly as described and all of the amenities (water, shower, porta-potties) were great. More than enough space to spread out around my vehicle and all I could hear were the crickets at night. Will stay here again in '25 when I (fingers crossed) enter the unbound lottery again!
