Spend a night, or a week of star filled nights, enjoying a piece of the old West still cherished on a working ranch in Nevada. Our sheep camp, used regularly up until just a decade ago, has been completely renovated and fitted with everything you need to experience just a taste of the kind of living that has called to cowboys, shepherds, ranchers, and farmers for centuries.
We invite you to stay with us, to slow down to the speed of a quiet summer in the valley, and step back in time.

South Ruby Campground is situated above Ruby Lake at the base of the beautiful Ruby Mountains at 6,000 feet in elevation, near the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Ruby Valley, Nevada. Ruby Valley is a surprising wildlife oasis. An expansive marsh is laced with riparian corridors coursing with cool, spring-fed waters. Together with lush meadow and shrub-steppe uplands, these habitats support a diversity of wildlife seldom found in the high desert and is one of the most important waterfowl nesting areas in the region. The refuge is either home or a stopover location for over 220 species of birds. Of specific interest are canvasback ducks, trumpeter swans, greater sandhill cranes and sage grouse. Mule deer and pronghorn antelope can also be found in the area.
Ruby Lake is visible from the campground and offers excellent birding, fishing and hiking. The lake is stocked with largemouth bass and several species of trout. The Ruby Lake NWR headquarters is two miles north of the campground and offers visitor information. The campground is located on the Hastings Cutoff route, near the Pony Express Trail and historic ruins of Fort Ruby. An interpretive trail was recently constructed at Fort Ruby historic site and provides insight on local history as well as spectacular views of the southern Ruby Mountains, uninterrupted by development. The southern trailhead for the Ruby Crest National Recreation Trail at Green Mountain Traihead is located within reasonable driving distance from the campground. Many dirt and gravel roads begin at Harrison Pass (just north of the refuge), and Overland Pass (south of the area), and provide enjoyable routes for jeeps, off-road motorcycles, OHVs, and mountain bikes.

I found this camp ground on my way to Montana, just wanted to stop for a night and be in the middle of nowhere. I have a rav4 and it made it out there on the dirt road that are maintained and saw some wildlife along the road. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves and will be heading out there again in spring.
