Best Camping Spot on lake

We started at the Eastern Trailhead and intended to take the South Loop. You first go out on the East Loop, a wide gravel trail, and then connect with the South Loop. Old signage was confusing, and we wandered around a bit. No worries, though since it was all so beautiful and interesting. The woodland part had the most beautiful cedar trees and cool old ruins from days gone by. The spring-fed... We started at the Eastern Trailhead and intended to take the South Loop.

No worries, though since it was all so beautiful and interesting. The woodland part had the most beautiful cedar trees and cool old ruins from days gone by. The spring-fed lake is unique to this area. The water is so clear, and the rocky cliffs are quite a sight. The lake is a former gravel excavation area. Then, you walk past the prairie area. The prairie will eventually be restored and invasives removed, but it is still beautiful as is. There is a small shelter next to the lake as well. After 3+miles walking we decided to drive to the Western trailhead, which is kind of behind a gravel company. Didn't walk too far, but we did go along the Elm Creek part of the way just to get the feel of it. All in all, a great experience.

This has potential to be an awesome park; however, it is terrifying as there are not many barriers around the water and it's a straight drop without any way to stop or pull yourself out if one should happen to slip and fall into the water - especially a kiddo who isn't being closely monitored- it would be almost impossible to help. Absolutely beautiful trails but the safety factor needs to be seri...

Absolutely beautiful trails but the safety factor needs to be seriously taken into consideration.

You will NEVER find another place like this in Kansas. We stayed for my daughter’s birthday trip back in June. From the moment you meet Chad & Cynthia you know you’re going to have the most amazing time. We were so sad to leave. My daughter and I have camped in quite a few places. But nothing like this.

We stayed for my daughter’s birthday trip back in June. From the moment you meet Chad & Cynthia you know you’re going to have the most amazing time. We were so sad to leave. My daughter and I have camped in quite a few places. But nothing like this. The spots are spaced out perfectly. There is absolutely NO trash. There were three outhouses placed in spots on the land, ALL were completely spotless. They even smelled nice. Lol the water was so clean even after it stormed on us for two nights. The views, BEAUTIFUL. They offer so much. It’s insane that they choose to share this with all of us. We can’t think them enough for the most amazing time we had. We will be back this September for my birthday. I’m counting down the days. We had my sister and her family tag along for their first time camping (tent camping at that.) and even with the weather hick up, They want to go back. I think I can speak for my whole group when I say we highly recommend C2T ranch & Campground. We loved it, the dogs loved it. You and your family will too. Site#45 is where I believe we stayed. The spot was perfect.

We had such an awesome visit here! The owners were so kind and you can tell they really care about their land! Our dog absolutely had the best time running around and playing! We even got some of the best homemade cinnamon rolls and loaf of bread with their homemade plum jelly! We only stayed 1 night but will absolutely stay here again if we are passing through! This place is a hidden gem and we c... We had such an awesome visit here! The owners were so kind and you can tell they really care about their land!
