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!

Chad and Cynthia are wonderful hosts, so attentive and accomplishing. The land is absolutely beautiful, boasting a gorgeous sunset and the most fireflies I’ve ever seen. The wood bundle at the campfire was a beautiful touch that made the stay. It was very quiet and secluded (except for the two donkeys which we say hanging out). Cannot recommend Limestone Echo at C2T ranch enough.

This was our second stay at C2T and it certainly won't be our last. The hosts were wonderful and Lucky Lady was a great camping spot. It stormed pretty badly the night of our stay and the following morning Chad came to check in on us, which was very nice! We chose the add-ons of zucchini bread and sand plum jelly, and both were delicious. Highly recommend this place!

Absolute Perfection!
I'm so bummed that we only planned one night here. I could easily stay for a week or more. The site was absolutely perfect and the hosts Chad and Cynthia were amazing. The horses and donkeys were a great bonus. Lots of mowed paths for the kids to ride their bikes. We even floated down the river that runs beside the sites. I feel like we barely scratched the service of what this place has to offer.

Peaceful
This was my second stay at C2T ranch and campground. I will look forward to my next stay. I am a 60's gal and my dog and I love to camp out where I feel safe and can enjoy nature. This ranch has it all . Chad and Cynthia are great hosts. I ordered ahead for the burgers and everything I needed was waiting at my site for me. Utterly delicious and Fresh hamburgers straight from their ranch, including homemade pickles that I just have to get the recipe for. It's not too far off the interstate but just far enough that you have 100% peace and quiet with no light pollution so the stars are absolutely stunning at night. It's very simple to get to the hiking is fantastic and there was even a tire swing that I took advantage of at my site. There was plenty of wood for my fire to cook with. This will be my go to spot for camping as I travel back-and-forth on I 70 through Kansas. Thank you, Chad and Cynthia for all your help and for your patience with me as I drove 12 hours. Your hospitality means so much.
