Fishing and water recreation draw campers to BaseCamp Humboldt, an established campground near a lake outside Iola, Kansas. Full hookups are available, including electric, water, and sewer connections, making it a practical stop for RV travelers. Rates range from $0 to $35 per night, and pets are allowed on site. Campers should note that access involves rough road conditions. Camp Hunter Park sits about 1.4 miles southwest for those weighing nearby alternatives.
Description
Bike. Glamp. Chill.
Base Camp is a 21-acre modern glampground + RV park, trailhead, and bike park in Humboldt, Kansas adjacent to the Southwind rail trail.
Spend your time around the property fishing, kayaking (life jackets and paddles available), biking or relaxing. Or take a very short car ride or (bike ride) into town where you'll find great coffee, breakfast and lunch (Wednesday-Sunday), the sweetest French candy shop, and the largest selection of whiskies in SEK served up at the coolest local honky tonk around.
Your stay includes access to all of our amenities:
-Basecamp quarry pond where you can fish and use any of our kayaks and canoes.
-Bicycles. Borrow any of our bikes located in the communal Bike Barn. Enjoy a ride on the 60 mile South Wind Trail or ride into town to explore more of Humboldt. We also have a bike skills course located at the front of the property perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. (Bicycles are available on a first come first serve basis and are shared between all of our guests).
Things to know:
-Picnic tables, grills, fire pits and hammocks are located all throughout the property for your convenience.
-Shower House and Restrooms are located on the backside of the property connected via a gravel path from the parking lot. Heads up - it's a decent walk from the RV hooks ups.
