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!

We love C2t ranch!
We love this spot! Every spot at C2T is top tier camping but we really enjoy this area, the river runs through & the views are amazing. We even get visits from the beautiful horses.

Beautiful ranch and campsite. Friendly hosts. Brat basket and potatoes were amazing after a long drive from Utah. Mini loaf and jelly were also delicious as breakfast on the way out. Firewood worked great for cooking the brats. Amazing geography for Kansas. Would recommend visiting if in or passing through the area

We had a great time at Chad and Cynthia’s campsite. It was quiet, secluded, beautiful and the cinnamon rolls in the morning were the cherry on top of a great adventure. We hope to be back again, maybe when the diver isn’t dried out from drought so we can enjoy that aspect of the land as well.

Beautiful property. Stayed at the Limestone Echo site and wished there had been time to explore. The host was welcoming and quickly led me to the site where firewood is provided. Not many bugs. Regardless of what your maps app says, exit the interstate at exit 183.
