You won't believe you are still in Kansas! C2T Ranch is a working regenerative cattle ranch, with over 4 miles of Saline River running through it. Amazing 150' tall limestone cliffs rise above river and several spring fed creeks feed into the river. There is hiking galore in the canyons or on the cliffs, fishing in the rivers, or bird watching on the native prairie above the cliffs. Fossil hunters can find a variety of fossilized shells, as well as native septarian and calcite for the rockhounds. Our picturesque, secluded campground has primitive and powered campsites, plus several glamping tent, all dispersed along an amazing horseshoe bend of the Saline River, each with direct river access. We're only a 20 minute drive north of Hays, Kansas and I-70, come visit us today!

What an incredible experience! Made the trek from Omaha to C2T Ranch to take my little brother camping for the first time and we couldn’t believe we were in Kansas! Our site had gorgeous views of the limestone cliffs, easy water and electric hook up, a fire pit stocked with wood, picnic table and swinging chair. My little brother was especially excited about being able to hike, we made it to the top and got to see the panoramic views. Chad was extremely hospitable and available for all of our needs (even some last minute s'more's) ! The land was rich with history and extremely peaceful, I loved listening to the wildlife at night. We felt completely safe yet submerged in the wilderness. I believe there were other campers but we never saw them! That’s how spacious the sites are. 100/10 recommend booking here- we’ll be back in the summer for some fun in the sun!

Beautiful site! I stayed in one of the tents and found it very comfortable. Only wish I could have stayed longer to explore the river and hiking trails. Would definitely stay again.

I loved camping on Chad and Cynthia's land. They have a beautiful spot along the river and have done a great job making a fun and enchanted space. This was really a gem and we plan on using it regularly whenever we cross KS. Probably next time I'll plan to stay 2 nights and check out their ranch tour. We loved having the donkeys show up in the morning to graze nearby and visit the river.

Excellent spot with beautiful views and Chad and Cynthia were very welcoming and even had a bundle of firewood waiting at my site. They were also very accommodating to me showing up late after a long day of driving. 10/10 absolutely recommend.
