Geographic areas and is located in the southwest portion of Utah. Ruby's was 'fine.' It's just nowhere we have any grand desire to return to.The Dixie National Forest is Utah's largest Forest and isĬomprised of 1,883,896 acres.

In contrast, we found Zion Canyon Campground to be just as convenient to Zion National Park as Ruby's was to Bryce, yet it cost $10 less per night, the people were friendlier, and we could go grocery shopping in the town without being gouged. It just didn't leave us with a great feeling. It's always busy, turnover is always high, and most people aren't going to come back anyway, so they don't really care. The overall sense we had with this place was that Ruby's owns everything in town and they really don't have to care too much about their customers. Internet Availability Rating (Verizon coverage or campground wifi):ĥ/5: The campground's wifi worked well during our stay as did our AT&T hotspot. It wasn't a huge deal, but if someone is staying an entire week and paying $60 per night to do so, it would be nice if the company would at least attempt to accommodate a site request. Additionally, I booked our stay at least 6 months before our visit and requested any one of 6 or 7 specific site numbers, but they completely blew it off and gave us a site in the area we didn't want to be it. They just were not warm nor friendly at the office. I am sure they see hundreds of guests each week and most only stay for a couple days, but that doesn't mean customer service shouldn't be a priority. This is where the whole corporate thing comes in. Technology and Customer Service Rating (online resources, reservations, and staff):Ģ/5: Customer service was pretty lacking here. My preference from a camping perspective would be to stay in the older section, but from a convenience and privacy standpoint, the new section is fantastic.

The older section up front had much more in the way of trees and the sites were more typical of the campgrounds we've stayed at - some more level and spacious than others. Site Quality and Big Rig Accessibility Rating (utilities and accessibility of campground hook ups):ĥ/5: These were some of the biggest sites we have ever seen and they were perfectly level and nicely laid out, utilities-wise. We also skipped out on the restaurants because they seemed like tourist traps. We were told to stock up on groceries before coming in, which is what we did. As we understand it, Ruby's owns everything there and they price things accordingly. There are shops and stores in the town (which is in the opposite direction from the national park), but we never explored them. It's a long walk, but we did it several times. There's also a walk/bike path that you can take from Ruby's into the park. Location Rating (accessibility to points of interest or to major highways):Ĥ/5: Ruby's location is fantastic - the shuttle bus that goes into Bryce Canyon National Park stops right in front of the campground, so we took the shuttle into the park several times. All things considered though, at least we weren't sitting on top of our neighbors. They've planted trees and I assume several years from now, it will be fantastic, but right now, it feels like a giant parking lot. The sites are huge and the spacing is great, but it feels very open. Our Site #: 226 Privacy Rating (how spacious and private do the sites feel):Ĥ/5: We were in the new section in the back which is basically made up of several rows of enormous pull through sites with tons of space between them.
