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!

Breathtaking Kansas Beauty
This is easily the most peaceful and beautiful property I have stayed at. The site is very sweetly prepared, with fire grate, swing, picnic table, firewood and cute décor and identifying signage in addition to the promised electric and water hookups. There are breathtaking views anywhere you look, ample trails to walk, and even though there are a multitude of sites, they are so thoughtfully laid out that you will feel like the only person for miles! I have stayed at this property at least 4 times. Unfortunately the drought has taken the creek for now, but the trails have multiplied. I never feel at a loss for what to do while I'm there. The hosts have a wonderful sense of hospitality. It is the best!
