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 place was great! Everything from the river, to climbing cliffs, searching for rocks and seeing the horses. This is a fantastic place to camp. It was also an added bonus having outhouses and trash bins.

We loved our stay on the ranch and in the tent, owners were very friendly and helpful, the country tent was so cosy and clean. The property was beautiful to explore, would recommend staying for a few days to explore the property!!

Hidden Gem in the Kansas Plains

This place is one-of-a-kind gorgeous! Chad and Cynthia are gracious hosts who take pride in their Kansas oasis. The place has curious geological formations not common in this area, with a high, limestone ridge, overlook bluffs, and incredible vistas. We took the side by side tour of the whole property and Chad went above and beyond telling us the history of the Saline River valley. Wow. We followed that up with a burger basket they delivered to our campsite with all the fixins and a big portion of Cynthia’s potatoes. It was such a nice treat, and delicious! We will definitely be back. If you are looking for an incredible spot off the beaten path, no not miss the C2T Ranch.

Beautiful setting & friendly welcome by Chad. We were only passing through and spent one night, but would have enjoyed more time here.

This place is serene. The camp spots are spread out,so it literally feels as though you're the only ones there!! Beautiful views. We would definitely return!!!! If anyone has allergies to cedar trees, it's not the place for you.
