The Ruby Ranch is a working farm and horse operation. Guests will stay at camping spots along Upper Hominy Creek at the base of our new forest garden field. Campers can soak in the creek and fall asleep to the sound of moving water. Wake up to chirping of the many bird varieties that inhabit this land. If campers are interested in visiting the horses or greenhouses, or want a farm tour, please schedule a tour with the campsite host (for an additional fee). Please respect the privacy of the Ranch horses, neighbors and permanent human inhabitants.

Easy to get to and very easy instructions. The creek was a great background noise to go to sleep to. Laura was very prompt with communication and the place was beautiful. They had experienced some flooding from Helene and the site wasn't like in the pictures but it was to be expected. I still was able to enjoy the peace outside of the city. Highly recommend.

Peace By The River
I surprised my husband with a birthday camping trip and the owners of Ruby Ranch are absolute super hosts ! The great rate and the hospitality I simply cannot say enough about! My husband works for the railroad as a conductor and his train was delayed getting back. But they were awesome at accommodating our later than normal check in. The campsites are very enjoyable and the river was so peaceful. It was our 2 young boys first camping experience and it was just perfect. There was plenty of room for them to play and run and plenty of privacy for each guest. There were other campers our first night. But the rest of the weekend was all to ourselves. The local area is beautiful and the people there are so friendly and welcoming. Our family will definitely be back! We recommend this amazing site to any of our friends and family, and definitely recommend it to anyone one looking for an alternative to big campgrounds. The sounds of the farm and it’s happy animals and the lull of the river by a cozy campfire are enough to sooth the soul and bring peace to the heart in this modern fast paced world we live in. This piece of paradise is worth all the praise and the price. Big thank you to the Ruby Ranch for their part in making my husband’s birthday getaway so memorable ! This place deserves a full 10/10 With love and best wishes. The Chesnuts

Beautiful stream and mountains on the most peaceful farm setting! The grounds were well kept and I appreciated the addition of a porta potty to use if needed as so many rustic camp grounds have nothing.
