Best in Kansas: 1st place
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
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!

Awesome campsite
Directions given were perfect, easy to follow. We were in awe at the beautiful landscape when we arrived. Chad met us at the main house and drove us down to our site, even came back to bring us an adapter we needed to hook up. Campsites are spacious and well spaced apart from other campers. Horses, donkeys and Abby (friendly lab) were wonderful visitors and entertainment! River was low, so we didn't fish this time; but instead, did lots of hiking around to each area to see what each site had to offer. We saw a bald eagle flying over the bluffs and heard the coyotes at night! Loved looking for the little critters hidden in the trees ar each site. Such a relaxing and serene area. We were able to have a campfire each evening after the winds let up with the unlimited firewood we bought with our reservation. We will definitely be back with friends and family to enjoy this area again! Highly recommend!

What an incredible experience! Made the trek from Omaha to C2T Ranch to take my little brother camping for the first time and we couldn’t believe we were in Kansas! Our site had gorgeous views of the limestone cliffs, easy water and electric hook up, a fire pit stocked with wood, picnic table and swinging chair. My little brother was especially excited about being able to hike, we made it to the top and got to see the panoramic views. Chad was extremely hospitable and available for all of our needs (even some last minute s'more's) ! The land was rich with history and extremely peaceful, I loved listening to the wildlife at night. We felt completely safe yet submerged in the wilderness. I believe there were other campers but we never saw them! That’s how spacious the sites are. 100/10 recommend booking here- we’ll be back in the summer for some fun in the sun!

I stayed in the Sunflower Tent. Bed was comfortable. It is located in a secluded area, super peaceful. A short walk to the river. Tent was furnished with a heater if needed. Loved listening to the birds singing. No street noises.

Beautiful site! I stayed in one of the tents and found it very comfortable. Only wish I could have stayed longer to explore the river and hiking trails. Would definitely stay again.
