Come and pitch your tent right on the Albemarle Sound! (first photo shows Site #3; all sites include waterfront)
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.
If your expertise and interests coincide with the mission of the Farm, feel free to propose collaborative projects to julia@thepeanutfactory.org

We bought the property in search of gold. After exploring the land after we bought it, we discovered a 200ft ship from 1906 buried 4ft under the ground. We are inviting people to come enjoy this experience with us as we excavate the ship, to learn history, and to learn unique outdoor activities. There are so many treasures still left to be found.

Beautiful location. We brought our two little kids and dog and had a fantastic time. The Evans family is very friendly and welcomed us onto the property.
There were plenty of spots to pull up to with flat areas for pitching a tent and multiple fire rings well spaced out. Would definitely come back.

Spruill Conservation Camp is in a beautiful natural setting on the sound with gorgeous bald cypress trees with osprey nests that you can see from your tent. The campsite was clean and ready when we arrived. There was plenty of firewood for purchase (honor system) and water from the pump for use other than drinking. The porta potty was clean and in a good location (close enough but far enough away from the campsite). We brought our kayaks but unfortunately the water was too choppy but we did care, we just enjoyed the sounds. We saw a beautiful sunset from the campsite. We will definitely return!
