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!

This was a beautiful site with a gorgeous view. The stars were amazing! We love the International Dark Sky Parks and have been to several. This was every bit as impressive as those. Our grandsons had room to roam and be a bit loud without fear of disturbing other campers. We are excited to visit again!

What a great area! The views were beautiful. Thankfully, the sky was very clear, so we had an excellent view of the stars. Our site was very close to the outhouse, and it was very clean. Chad and Cynthia’s dog Abby kept us and our own dogs entertained in the morning. An absolutely wonderful evening. We look forward to staying here again when it’s a little warmer. Thank you for everything!

Great Experience!
We were traveling from CO. to OK. and looking to stop and rest one night. We were pleasantly surprised that while booking we had the option to order a food basket! It was amazing, we chose hamburger patties, sausage and potatoes. The food basket came with all the fixings, it was more than we could have imagined! When we arrived Chad met us at their house and drove down to show us our campsite! The property is beautiful and secluded. We loved relaxing by the camp fire and letting our kids and dogs run freely! We’ve decided to rebook and meet friends half way this summer at the ranch!

This is the second time I’ve camped here. Easy to get, quiet, and safe. I don’t get any of the extras it’s just a place I make my first stop when heading out west. Simple no fuss legal place to spend a night with no issues.

This is a beutiful and private camping expereince. All of the sites are spacious and not located on top of each other. They even provided wood for the campfire. We will be back!

Best stay ever!!!!
Wow! This was the best experience staying away from home we’ve ever had! You couldn’t ask for anything more! We are on our way from Indiana to California for a holistic regenerative course so when we saw that this place is a regenerative cattle ranch I was sold! We met the owners upon arrival we met the owners who are extremely knowledgeable and hospitable! Waking up surrounded by cedars was amazing… hiking through canyons full of cedars on the vast property, to die for! We will be staying here again on our way back home!!!
