Ruby's Inn RV Park and Campground

Highlight • Rest Area

In 1916, Reuben C. (Ruby) Syrett brought his family to the wilderness of southern Utah and started a farm near the present location of Ruby's Inn. A few weeks after his arrival, another farmer in the area told Ruby about the canyon called Bryce. Ruby and his family visited the edge of the canyon. They were so impressed by what they saw that they not only started telling people about the beauties of the canyon, but they also became hosts to the visitors. In 1919 they had received permission from the state to build a lodge, the "Tourist Rest", near the edge of the canyon.

In 1923, when Bryce Canyon became a National Monument, Ruby moved his "Tourist Rest" to the site of his ranch and named it Ruby's Inn. The post office located in the inn and still serves the area year-round. Ruby's reputation grew as the National Monument became a National Park, and soon Ruby's Inn became a major business. What started with tents and a place to serve meals paved the way for the modern facilities that today serve tourists in Bryce Canyon and give all travelers a pleasant stay in the Bryce Canyon area. Enthusiasm and love for the Bryce area were passed on to Ruby's son Carl. Today, the same Western hospitality and friendly service is carried on by Carl's children and grandchildren, who still run the business.
