Big rig-friendly
Spacious, level camping well-suited for travel trailers over 40 ft long.
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!

Kansas Sunflower Tent
I enjoyed my stay there. Chad was very helpful. The first night was very cold, even with all the blankets I had. I texted Chad and he offered me a my buddy heater, but didn’t have one, so he offered me more blankets. The next day he brought me a my buddy heater to use. He also showed me how to start a camp fire and I made my first fire on that stay. The cons were the port a potty was not clean and no shower, but I just when you’re camping you have to be prepared for those things.

We were only here one night, and arrived late. Chad was very friendly, met us and escorted us to our spot. The spot was awesome. Quiet, clean, dark. We spent a few minutes the next morning walking around a bit, and this is a beautiful spot. We will most definitely be back and hopefully get to spend more time.

This place is phenomenal for all ages!! The horses, donkey and pup were so sweet and we absolutely loved them greeting us. We saw a cow run right past us on the land, which is beyond beautiful and so joyful to walk around. Our dogs had such a blast running. Responses were on point and Chris and Cynthia are just as wonderful. We will be back for sure. Thank you for sharing your haven with us!

Great place to stay and be away from it all. We had site #10 Wanda's place for 5 days and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Water and Electric at the site and tons of room. The Campsites are extremely far apart and we could not see anyone at all from our site. Friendly owner/host Chad & Cynthia. Lots of walking trails, wildlife, great views. We will be back. FYI: T Mobile is almost non existant but with our starlink we had full internet and wifil calling worked great.

Highly recommend! We are staying for a night in a middle of a long trip, host was welcoming and guide us to our site even all dark outside. Our site is quiet and private, I feel really safe staying here. Host provided good firewood for free. We spent the morning under the tree and letting our pup run free even in the water. He had a really good time after long road trip. I would highly recommend staying here with our without a dog

Amazing views, beds, and hosts!
Kansas Sunflower Tent
I know, we should talk about the views and the hospitality (which were amazing), but I want to say that was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on! I was so suprised the bed was so nice! The cinnamon rolls and zucchini bread were perfect! The hosts were kind! The scenery was exactly what we hoped for... the stars were amazing! We had a nice trail to walk and got to see wonderful fall foliage. It felt safer than sleeping at the lake, which made the trip a lot more relaxing. I would recommend this camp and plan to return!

We had to drive about 6 miles on unsaved roads but made it just fine with our travel trailer and class C campers.

This piece of property is one of a kind. You can't go wrong with any campsite on the property, with crystal clear Saline river running by under huge limestone bluffs. Amazing Sunsets and wildlife. Actually watched a coyote playing in the river this morning from my tent. Chad and Cynthia are very responsive and definitely get some Cinnamon rolls and the Zucchini Bread while you are there.

Stayed on our way out west & back. I was so excited to camp there! Try to get there before dark. It's beautiful & you'll wish you'd been able to enjoy a campfire! We got there late & regretted it. There is a portalet, but kinda far from our sites, so we used our camp potty. Chad met us both times & took us to our site. Safe, peaceful & far away from the traffic, stores & noise of our day-to-day suburban life.

Fantastic stay at Site #42!!!
Tent ·
42 - Cedar Grove
I have stayed at dozens of campsites around Kansas. State parks, state fishing lakes, private camping, you name it and this is one of the best. The bluffs are gorgeous, the sites well cared for (Stay at #42!), one free firewood bundle, provided tripod grate, friendly staff, and to top it all off ... A donkey!!! I wish our stay could have been longer. We will absolutely be back. On the night we stayed, it stormed, but the bluffs and the trees blocked the vast majority of the wind. The only negative (or positive depending on how you look at it) is that our ATT phones had very spotty service, usually no more than one bar, if any, regardless of WeBoost use. C2T is close enough to the interstate to be a viable stop over on that long trip. Run, don't walk to C2T!!!

Driving cross country and found this place. What a Gem! Campsites are spaced apart perfectly for privacy. If you want a shaded site they have it. If you want to be in the open, they have that too. Next time I want to take a tour of the ranch. Kudos!
