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!

C2T Ranch is a camper's delight, offering a peaceful setting with plenty of privacy. Campers rave about the scenic views, spacious sites, and friendly animal visits. The hosts, Chad and Cynthia, are frequently mentioned for their welcoming nature and helpfulness. While the remote location means limited cell service, it adds to the feeling of a true getaway.

A campsite to remember!!

What a beautiful place to camp. We stayed for one night with our teardrop trailer and it was gorgeous. The best part is that we could let our two elderly doggies roam free. This was their favorite camping spot thus far!! We ordered a loaf of zucchini bread which was so scrumptious! I highly recommend you stop by and spend the night! The owners are wonderful!

This place is beautiful! I would definitely stay here again if ever in the area. We had a friendly donkey hang out with us that night and the next morning! We especially loved that there was no one else close by like we were there the only ones there.

10 - Wanda's Place
We stayed at the site called Wanda’s Place! It was beautiful with the cliffs creating a gorgeous backdrop! Our site was private, quiet and bug free despite backing up to the waters bank! We really enjoyed the hamburger basket along with Cynthia’s potatoes and blueberry zucchini bread! We visited the horses and donkey, and hung out with the owner’s dog Abby! She was so sweet! Will definitely be back to enjoy the beautiful scenery and sunset! Jennifer and Brian Sell

10 - Wanda's Place
We stayed at the site called Wanda’s Place and it was beautiful with the cliffs creating a wonderful backdrop!! Our site was private, quiet and bug free despite the river bank being right there! The hamburger basket, Cynthia’s potatoes and the blueberry zucchini bread were delicious! Got to visit with the horses, the donkey and Abby, the happy, protective dog who hung out with us! Abby is so sweet! Will definitely be back!! Jennifer and Brian Sell

10 - Wanda's Place
Never met Cynthia. We followed Chadto our site which was really private and we loved. After reading all the reviews we decided to stay at campsite number 10 Wanda‘s place. Upon arrival there was no wood and all the other reviews said that there was wood cut and left near the firing for them upon arrival. When Chad dropped us off, he said I’m gonna go get you some wood,. We set up camp and went for a nice walk and when we got back, there was still no wood, it was already kind of late in the day when we got there. after an hour or an hour and a half (I cannot remember) of not receiving Wood I sent a message letting them know that we were still waiting on the Wood and within 30 minutes Chad brought it down. however we only got to burn a little bit because as soon as it got dark, we heard coyotes and decided to put everything out and go in the camper. I would’ve loved to have sat there for a few hours while we ate and hung out, but did not get the chance due to the Wood not being there when we arrived.we were on a very tight schedule to get the Colorado for our grandson’s fourth birthday party so we did not have a lot of time. We went on a nice walk, took pictures of our dog with the horses was visited by the donkey the next morning,. enjoyed the peaceful night sleep

Loved staying here. The view and hike were awesome and the sounds of the animals at night was very relaxing. Would definitely recommend.
