I have camped right at the trailhead when I hunted deer and Mearns in 36B.

When I first saw this place, you could just about drive to it. Later some agency placed pileons across the road because of some endangered species in the Creek. From one of the camp sites by the pileons you can see a solar panel. A few years ago there was about 15-20 people gathered around the solar panel, doing what I don't know. We later found out they were from the Nature Conservatory. Not a good sign.

That sign is a little hard to read you can Google Hank and Yank ruins and it will tell you the story of the ranch.

During all my stays there, I can't recall ever seeing the ruins. 

So is that big open area with all the big trees right next to the Ruby road now shut off to vehicles or camping? 

The last time my son and I had permits in 36B, we went down the Ruby road about another 1/2 mile to a another two track on the right and camped about a 1/4 mile in right at a fence line. About twice a day, border patrol on ATVs came by camp and went thru the fence gate. I never saw them come back, so that road must have another exit.
