Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (45 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“It is a nice campground and area. The only issue with our visit was a dead animal in the dumpster that was rather unpleasant for all campsites downwind. Campsite 15 is listed as an RV site, but there was plenty of room for two tents.”

How far ahead to book South Ruby Campground

For July weekends, book about 124 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 33 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May27 days ahead63 days ahead33 days ahead78 days ahead
June29 days ahead66 days ahead36 days ahead88 days ahead
July33 days ahead124 days ahead71 days ahead153 days ahead
August23 days ahead60 days ahead28 days ahead112 days ahead
September20 days ahead36 days ahead34 days ahead95 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,936 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
