What Guests Are Saying
South Ruby Campground is well-maintained, featuring clean restrooms and a helpful camp host, making for a pleasant stay. The campground offers a peaceful environment with good access to fishing and nearby attractions like the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. However, some amenities, such as the fish cleaning station and dumpster placement, could be improved for a better experience.

Our first family camping trip in Nevada and May I say it was just what the Dr. order!! If you want to get away and off the beaten path then this is the campsite for you.

We stayed in spot #22 and it was WONDERFUL! It's a nice big spot, had plenty of room for our giant tent, and for the family to gather for dinner. The campsite was clean and quiet other than some shenanigans in a camp down the road. The restroom proximity was great, except for the smell. If they had recently pumped the tanks in the restroom I would have given this experience all the stars! The location is beautiful, the trees have grown and give a good amount of shade, and it's not far to some fantastic fishing!

We regretted that we moved fro Thomas Canyon to South Ruby campground to try it out. Was a rough drive to get there over Harrison Pass Rd, the "lake" is actually marshes and not quite what we expected (was still cool to see and great fishing). The bugs were very very bad (flies and horse flies that resulted in lots of bites). The campground "manager" was not there at all the first day we arrived. When we arrived, our campsite had the wrong name on it making us confused as to whether our booking was correct or not. It was annoying that there was nobody there to ask questions to about it. The site across the way was full of trash (probably because there were no trash cans provided that we could see). We booked 2 days but only stayed one day and left (back to Thomas Canyon) since we were not enjoying ourselves.

Great campground to serve as home base for fishing the marshes. Evenings cool off nicely for sleeping. The upper loop has more shade than the lower loop.

We love camping here. There isn’t a lot of shade, bathroom is clean and so is the campground.

The campground was clean, quiet, remote and very peaceful. The sites are spaced well so you are not in top of your neighbor. Water is available but toilets are vault style toilets. The bathrooms are kept very clean however. The campsite is in very close proximity to fishing access. Adequate shade at each site and a picnic table and fire pit are available for use at each site. The weather is very unpredictable, pack with layers. And don’t forget your mosquito spray!
