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!

A few things - first, Chad and Cynthia are the NICEST people and were so welcoming when I got here. The little touches they offer when you book online had me stunned in the best way possible and I was so excited to come stay here. If you do stay, GET THE BRAT BASKET, because not only are the brat’s good, but Cynthia’s potatoes are some of the best potatoes I’ve ever had in my life! 100/10 recommend! Second, the area is gorgeous. I don’t know how many acres there are, but you feel like you’re somewhere in Utah, not Kansas. I was blown away by how beautiful the sites were. Third, pets can be off leash and that was honestly the biggest reason I extended for 2 additional nights. For most of my stay I was the only camper here and my dogs being able to run around without leads or leashes made my heart and them, so happy. The spaces are so spread out that your camping neighbors are big specs on the horizon, so it’s private and just wonderful. There are some wildlife they have on the farm (horses and donkeys), who are beautiful, but if you have pets that are not fans of other animals, just FYI on that. The horses and donkeys kept to themselves as well! Overall, this will be a place I’ll definitely come back to and it’s such a good price for what you get! I can’t recommend this place enough honestly!

As peaceful as it gets!
Absolutely beautiful location. Very private, incredibly serene. Our dogs LOVED running around the property and playing in the stream. The only thing as beautiful as the sunset was the sunrise. The plum jelly is delicious, I wish I'd gotten more. We could hear all the turkeys gobbling in the morning. Don't book this spot for just one night, you'll be sorry. Wanda's Place deserves an entire week or more!

The campsite was lovely, with a fantastic location by the river and pretty close to the bathroom. The fire pit and included firewood made for a beautiful (albeit a bit windy) evening! The homemade bread and jam was fantastic, and a delicious treat. Would absolutely stay again!
