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!

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

I loved the beautiful and calm setting. Just what I needed after a long drive. Directions were perfect. Chad met me near the house and I followed him to the site. It was clean and orderly. I was happy to be able to take my dog for a walk off leash.

10 - Wanda's Place
The care and accomodations made by the hosts prior to and during our visit were exceptional. Our camping site as well as the landscapes are serenely expansive and full of solitude. We would highly recommend taking the ranch tour. The history of many civilizations on the land was very interesting. Our whole experience was restorative and we will camp at with C2T again. A++

Glamping
My wife and I spent 2 nights glamping at the ranch and we enjoyed the heck out of it. The yurt was set up with solar power and a heater and was clean. The campground was also clean. The river is close and super clear, about 20ft wide and 3ft deep. The mountain is just beyond that we had a great time climbing to the top of it, the view from there is fantastic. The best part of the trip was the food! We got the burgers and brats they really do provide all the fixings and it came with some tators and they bring it out to you. The first bite we knew it was REAL, so much better then store bought! We made two meals out of it. The superstar was the cinnamon rolls....out of this world! Suck it yoder lol. We bought another to take home. The host where great, very quick to respond to our needs and seem like nice people. We will absolutely be going back.

C2T Camping
Excellent management of a beautiful property. Quick responses from Chad and Cynthia, clean, beautiful campsite and an extraordinarily unique area of Kansas the owners have so graciously made available for camping. My wife and I tent camped at South Beach Campsite and loved it! It was our second time back and won't be our last!
