Ruby Mountain Campground offers beautiful scenery and impressive river access, making it a picturesque location for visitors. However, many reviews highlight significant noise disturbances, lack of privacy between campsites, and poorly maintained bathroom facilities. While the views and cleanliness in some areas are appreciated, the overall experience is marred by crowding and maintenance issues.

Freaking amazing river access, I love this place so much. Beautiful, serene, I found a piece of jasper!

The location offers beautiful scenery and some truly lovely views, but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The noise level is overwhelming. From sunrise to sunset, there were constant sounds of quads, motorcycles (both on and off road), construction, and people driving in just to use the bathrooms.
The campsites are arranged with little to no privacy; from my spot at site #1315, people frequently walked through or around my camp area. It felt more like a crowded rest stop than a peaceful getaway.
The bathrooms were also in very poor condition. I understand that campground facilities can have a certain odor, but these smelled strongly of ammonia, as if they hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time.
In addition, the campground is bordered by private property on both sides, which made it feel confined rather than remote or open to nature.
Overall, while the views are nice, the lack of privacy, high noise level, and poorly maintained facilities made for a disappointing stay. I wouldn’t recommend this campground and won’t be returning.

If I could give a minus , I would. After driving 2.5 hours, my site was occupied! No people there, no host. Ridiculous. Went home. E mailed them to no avail. 😡

Extremely clean and well maintained spot by the river, overlooking Mt Princeton and Mt Antero.
Beautiful views and proximity to the water make it very convenient.

This has to be the most beautiful campground we have been at. The downsides are there is no hookups of any kind, so bring your own water and power, and there is no trash pickup, so pack it in, pack it out. Past that the views are the best I have seen, the sites are setup wonderfully, and there is the Arkansas River right there, and Brown's Canyon right next door.
