Peaceful and scenic stay

Ruby's Landing River Resort is the place if you are wanting a place that has wildlife, beautiful river views and away from the lights of town. We enjoyed hanging out with our friends on the porch of Cabin #3, eating a great steak and catching up. The town of Waynesville is not far away and they had a couple of grocery stores, some restaurants and Uranus!! I definitely want to come back for their annual Haunted River Float.

Dirty cabins and rude staff!

The cabin was disgusting 🤢 bugs crawling in the fridge, door was held together with a wire hanger. Rudest staff I've ever encountered.

Worst. Time. Ever.

Literally, the worst customer service I've ever had from an actual owner of an establishment. After finally coming to an agreement(which I wasn't even able to even get a response until I had to publicly complain) to use tickets from last year for this current year, I was told not to come THE DAY BEFORE I planned to come to the event even though I was in a full emailed conversation about the dates and agreement confirmation a week and a half before. My friends and I had to make last-minute elsewhere and were very unhappy about it. I've never had such an inconsiderate, unprofessional conversation with any business.

Great place

Clean bathrooms, and quiet primitive camping area right next to the river. The water landing is right next to the tent area so it’s real easy to get in and out of the water. Staff are friendly and down to earth.

Not bad

We were supposed to camp down by the river but it flooded out so they moved us to a spot on higher ground. The RV spots are really close together so there isn’t much room. They have a store and a bath house. Also a play ground for the kids. The kids had fun in the mud
