Ruby's Landing River Resort sits along the river outside Richland, Missouri, where forested terrain meets water access for both RV and tent camping. The resort accommodates RVs up to 60 feet with electric hookups, though sites are positioned close together with limited space between units. Rough access roads can present challenges, particularly during wet conditions when river areas may flood and require campers to relocate to higher ground.
The campground's main draw centers on direct river access, with the water landing positioned next to the tent camping area. Aaron T. notes "clean bathrooms, and quiet primitive camping area right next to the river" with easy water entry and exit. A playground provides entertainment for children, and the on-site store offers basic supplies. The resort hosts an annual Haunted River Float event that draws repeat visitors.
Basic amenities include drinking water, restrooms, showers, and picnic tables, with campfires permitted and pets welcome. WiFi service extends throughout the property. Staff interactions receive mixed reviews, with some campers praising friendly service while others report communication issues. The town of Waynesville provides grocery stores and restaurants within driving distance.
For different camping experiences, Roubidoux Spring Campground & RV Park offers another riverside option with potentially more spacious sites.
