Beautiful area, and a very clean and quiet campground. 5th time here, and it is one of my favorites.

The campground had space between the campsites and there was shade too. There was water readily accessible and the restrooms were clean.

It was a little surprising to get there and discover that the water had not been checked and was not drinkable. This was not an issue for us, but might have been for others. It would have been nice to have it indicated on the website. It was tested and verified safe within a few days.
No campground manager was another surprise.
Because it was windy, the reserved site signs that were put on the posts did not stay there, and blew all over the campground. Again, this wasn't an issue for us, but could have led to some ugly confrontations.
We love South Ruby Campground, but these were a couple of issues we encountered this time that we have not seen in our previous stays.
Restrooms and campground were extremely clean.
We will definitely return again!

Very well maintained campground. The vault toilets were the cleanest toilets I’ve ever seen! Campsites are spread out, great hiking nearby.

My camping experience was fine and uneventful. Other campers might want to know that due to proximity to huge wetlands the mosquitoes are more numerous than what one might expect for Nevada—I was there in a rainy early June. Also if there is some way on the planning section to indicate that the roads south from the campground, Ruby Valley Rd. then White Pine Canyon Rd #3, are mostly unpaved, dirt/gravel roads for 61.5 miles until UT Highway 50, that would greatly assist trip planning. I was directed to those roads by my map service with no warning that I would have to travel at 20-35 mph for 60 miles. The roads are plenty wide, but often washboarded as they are used by mining trucks and heavy equipment.
