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!

Beautiful Setting and Gracious Host
Beautiful setting and gracious hosts. This campsite is remote and private, located by the river and surrounded by bluffs.

Private space by the river
The space was very private. There was only one other camper that we saw as we followed Chad out to Wanda’s Place, and they were nowhere near our site. There are hookups at the site, although we didn’t use them. No doubt when the river is flowing at other times in the year, that provides a lovely backdrop. It is completely dry at this time of year. It was a perfect stop for us. We have our own composting toilet which we set up because the porta potty is a long walk away from the site. As Chad noted, that site is in a flood plain, so you don’t set up a porta potty there.
