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 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.

10 - Wanda's Place

If you want solitude, peace and quiet, this is the place for you! The campsite was well kept and Chad brought a small pile of firewood for the campfire. There are receptacles for 30 amp and 50 amp service and a couple 120 volt outlets on the pedestal, along with a water hydrant next to it. The pressure is only 20 psi (per our gauge), but it was not an issue. The pictures of the cliffs do not do justice to how beautiful they are. The water is down a small embankment, right next to the campsite. We recommend Chad and Cynthia's, and will be back for another visit! -Chris & Jerri

20 - South Beach

So far this has been my favorite campsite that I’ve found on HipCamp. If you’re anywhere near this ranch, I highly recommend. Also, you have to try the zucchini bread!! The site I chose was very private and relaxing. The stars were out on full display, the river running just enough for your personal sound machine and the wildlife is everywhere, if you look. I’ll be back with my kids to do a longer stay next time.

I took my son and his 6 month old lab on a nice camping trip. This place is quiet, has great views, is very clean. We were greeted in the morning by the sounds of about 50 spring turkeys. Great place and will be going back again!
