Ask us about our annual Fig Festival AUGUST 1-2, 2026. FREE CAMPING FOR VOLUNTEERS.
The Spruill Farm belonged to the Spruill Family for over a hundred years and has been set up as conservation easement protected land in '23. It includes hardwood forest, swamp, a beautiful swimming beach* on the Albemarle Sound - one of the largest freshwater sounds in the world-, acres of farmland, vegetable garden and perhaps the largest fig orchard for hundreds of miles around. The purpose of the Spruill Farm is to further environmental research, promote ecological education and sustainable practices, and provide access for the public to the ever-diminishing shoreline experience. Please enjoy the incredible sunsets and woodland views, while respecting the serenity of this unique gem on the inner-banks.
Wildlife on the property include Red Fox, River Otter, and 95 species of birds, including Bald Eagles (2 nests on the farm), nesting Osprey, Wood Ducks. Visit the 'Spruill Farm Conservation Project' on inaturalist(dot)org to see all 95 species, and upload any images from your observations.
Because it is a nature preserve, please read the guidelines and rules closely if you choose to book with us.
*Note: the shoreline changes with the wave action and the seasons. The beach is bigger in winter, smaller in summer. These changes make the Bobby Wilkins shoreline trail so beautiful- always changing.

What an excellent site, this was. We enjoyed our stay and wish we could’ve stayed longer. The site is in a quiet neighborhood about a 20 minute walk to the shops and restaurants. We definitely will be back next year. Just a couple FYI to those coming, be careful turning right onto back road off of British cemetery Road due to a low hanging branch from a tree. I would make sure also you have a 30 or 50 amp extension cord due to the positioning of the power pole.
As I said before, this was an amazing sight and we really enjoyed it. Miss Leigh is an amazing host. Very responsive with communication. We appreciate her, sharing her little slice of heaven with us.

We had a great stay here and would definitely consider coming back. The site is on a concrete pad, which made it nice and clean, and it’s located in a quiet residential neighborhood. It was peaceful and felt very safe.
The main village is about a mile away. We rode our bikes everywhere and it worked out perfectly.
A few things future campers should know:
* There isn’t a picnic table, so if you like eating or relaxing outside, bring a folding table.
* There isn’t a trash bin on site. Instead, you give your trash to the friendly neighbor, who was very welcoming and helpful during our stay.
* The utility hookups are a little unusual. The water and sewer connections are on one side of the site, while the electric hookup is on the other.
Overall, this was a quiet, convenient place to stay, and with a little preparation, it’s an excellent base for exploring the area.

Nice area quiet and well kept. everything you need to set up camp. The pad is a little quirky. Your power is on one side of the pad and water and sewer are on the other side. The pad I guessing is 36 feet wide, So you need to park according to how much cable or water line you have.I parked near the power so I had to run 25 ft of sewer line. and it goes up hill at the end so you had to walk out the drain line , There seems to be 2 inlets you need to look around for the lower one it is hidden in the grass. the other inlet sticks up so high it was difficult to get a good drane . both 50 and 30 amp are available. The water is Ocracoke water, I Never did like it You might want to bring bottle water , Although there is no problem with the water it is safe to use , I just don't like the water anywhere on the Island. no picnic table or trash cans. You can deposit trash at the trash depot next to the post office.
Not far from town so community store is just a few minutes away as well as Restaurants and shops. If I keep RVing I will be back .

Just leaving after such a relaxing week. My favorite place to vacation and was so glad to find this spot. Large site, easy access, I did not see a picnic table or trash bins, the electric and sewage are on opposite sides so you may need extra hose and park in the middle of pad.
