Ruah Ranch is situated on an old donation land claim and was also the site of nomadic Native American tribes. Abundant wildlife graces our acres as well as the beautiful Thoroughbred horses we raise. You'll likely be serenaded by coyotes in the evenings and may catch sight of them during the day. Three different species of raptors frequent the skies above the ranch and beavers have established outposts along the stream. Beautiful thoroughbred horses will greet you every morning from their nearby pasture while you enjoy your coffee in the shade of the trellised Wisteria. Silver Falls State Park is a short drive away where you can enjoy hiking and biking and even guided horseback rides. The Oregon Gardens are just a bit further north on the outskirts of Silverton and many wineries dot the landscape all around. If you like horses we’ll be happy to give you a tour of the ranch and introduce you to the resident equines, many of which have horse racing royalty up close in their lineage.

Ruah Ranch is a serene and charming spot nestled in rolling hills, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. Guests appreciate the friendly and accommodating hosts, Connie and Lee, as well as the delightful company of horses, cats, and a corgi named Chloe. The campsite is well-equipped, with amenities like water and electric hookups for RVs, as well as access to a restroom and a Keurig coffee maker. While the property is generally quiet and offers stunning sunsets, some guests noted issues with flies and lack of privacy due to the proximity of the campsite to the host's house.

Site3 Horse Ranch near Silver Falls

I was on the fence about booking a stay here in the first place looking at the pictures but seeing all the other great reviews I took a chance. We were only going to be here one night and then wake up and hike at Silver Falls. Upon pulling up to the sight I thought it was a mistake. The site is directly in front of the hosts house with zero privacy. Not a mistake. It’s just a gravel drive right in front of the hosts home. No mention of that in the listing or on the reviews at all. There is no cover on any side of the site. The fire pit is a nice touch but you are sitting in the hosts front yard. On top of that we ran out of propane within 30 minutes. The views are very nice and it was quiet, but camping that close to someone’s house is not something I wpuld ever purposely do. If you must come here to see the horses and livestock that would may make it worth it. If you are after any semblance of privacy this is absolutely not your place.

Site3 Horse Ranch near Silver Falls

Ruah Ranch was a beautiful space, especially if you like dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. It was bit chilly in my tent during the winter season so bring extra layers. Thank you Lee, Connie, and especially Sherry for jumping my car battery after I drained it. I got some much needed fresh air and sunshine. The folks in town were pleasant as well. 🙂

Site 2 - Horse Ranch near Silver Falls Park

We’ve stayed here many times, always finding peace and quiet, scenic, pastoral views, and friendly hosts. Water and electric hook ups for RV are a good benefit here. Don’t hesitate to camp here if you’re out this way.

Nice folks, chatted for a bit about their race horses. Lee offered to help spot me backing in and help me get set up. Site was nice and peaceful, just make sure you have leveling blocks. O h and a very friendly Corgi came for a visit a few times which was nice!

Site 2 - Horse Ranch near Silver Falls Park

We loved our stay at Ruah Ranch. Was nice and quiet, we loved walking down the gravel road. Connie was great and answered any questions that we have! Her little dog Chloe is precious and has the unofficial title of camp host :) we would definitely stay here again. I look forward to staying in the spring or summer when the weather is even better!
