Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Camping on Julia’s property was amazing! The view was so relaxing, the walking trails were filled with amazing natural scenery. Each campsite was far enough to still have privacy at your own camp. The feeling of waking up to a beautiful sunrise, throw a fishing line in, start a morning fire and cook breakfast all in the same area was so wonderful.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Stayed at campsite 1 with a roof top tent. Amazing location, we were able to pull right alongside the firepit and benches along the river, couldn't have been a better set up. Very quiet and peace full spot. the host was extremely polite.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

Second time staying here. This was a quick one nighter on the way to the OBX. Awesome place to stay. I will definitely be back again.

5 nights at Spruill Conservation Farm

This is my 2nd visit. I got lucky and had the whole place to myself for most of my stay! Clean, quiet and beautiful views! I think I saw 3 boats the whole 5 days I was there. I was visited by Tom Turkey a few times and a raccoon was in the area from his little footprints. You will see so many different types of birds, geese, lizards, jumping fish, hawks, eagles, osprey… even one bird that I still haven’t identified. Bring all your water for cooking and drinking. I even have a heated shower, so I brought water for that. Mostly stayed in camp, one day I did go to Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge to photograph the bears. If you truly want to disconnect and relax with nature, this is the place to do it.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

This spot is unique and gorgeous. What a wonderful place to quietly enjoy nature and the sound.

2 nights at Spruill Conservation Farm

Such a great spot! I even rebooked while we were there.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

The site is very calming and nice. We met Julia as we arrived and made sure that the previous camper did not left any trash that can be blamed to us. She also made sure that the porta potty is cleaned. We loved the sunset, kayaking and our dogs enjoyed it too.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Fantastic site right next to the water. Great views of the cypress trees, and great to wake up to the sound of the waves. Stayed with two kids who loved the woodland trails, kayaking and fishing on the land, as well as the campfire! Portaloo on site is clean and everyone was welcoming and friendly on site and within the local neighbourhood. Location is great. Local store about 10 mins away that stocks most essentials as well. Would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

I primarily camp at dispersed sites but this is the one exemption as it’s simply unbeatable. I have and will continue to go back here time and time again. Great location and hosts. Camp sites are far enough apart for privacy and also has good cell service.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

What a gem of a campsite! All campsites were full this weekend and we would never know it, the campsites are spaces just far enough away from each other to feel very private. We rented 2 kayaks to leisurely paddle the sound around the Cyprus trees. We caught amazing sunsets and sunrises and the stars at nights were bright and abundant. The portable toilet between the campsites was immaculately clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back!

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

Site 1 was awesome. Plenty of shade and large fire pit. My kids had a blast.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

The best sunsets ever! Beautiful view. We couldn't kayak as the sound was too choppy/windy. We found a river nearby to kayak/fish. Julia was very accommodating. We would definitely stay there again.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

Hands down one of the best camping experiences. We wished we could have stayed longer! We spent the night in our camper van parked beside the water. Between the sounds of the waves, an epic sunset, and a clear sky of stars, it was magic. And as many other reviews stated, the Porta Potty was pristine. We took advantage of the kayak rentals and the chopped wood Julia had on site too. Communication was easy and the directions to the campsite were clear. Offering maps of the property at the gate was a great touch! We would love to come back.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

The best sunsets we ever experienced! Enjoyed the view and walking trails. Site 2 & 3 were both level and right next to the sound. Julia was very accommodating! The water was rough so found a river nearby to kayak and fish.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

The site was amazing. The views breathtaking! It’s so peaceful, will definitely be back and have already recommended it.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

The Spruill Conservation Farm is a beautiful place along the Albemarle Sound with campsites close to the water. Campsite #1 had a huge fire pit with group seating, a picnic table and very clean portable toilet. Steps away from the site were several marked, well-maintained trails that skirted along the cypress swamp and adjacent farmland. I really loved this place and would definitely stay over again. I loved reading about the Spruill Conservation Farm history and mission on their website.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

We were on campsite #3 and enjoyed our stay. It was very peaceful and the campsite was clean. Very nice view as you sit on the water with a few trails through wooded areas as well as a long the water. I would definitely go here again for a quite and relaxing camping trip.

1 night at Gator Creek

Quiet, private, secluded camp spot - exactly what I was looking for! Several, level spots to choose from. Good, fast communication with camp host, thank you Joyce. Also, it’s no surprise, you’re in the coastal plains of NC, bring bug spray.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Another great stay here! We came with a group this time and rented out all 3 sites. Everyone had a wonderful time. We had plenty of space between sites 1 and 2 to set up all the tents and the fire pit area at site 1 made a wonderful group gathering area for meals and hanging out. The kids and dogos loved the little beach area at site 1 (which was much larger than when we come in the summer and fall). We had site 3 set up as a little fishing retreat/get-away and everyone loved the escape from chaos that comes w group camping trips. The port-o-potties were very clean, as always and very much appreciated! Everyone had such a great time! We can't wait for our next stay!

Gator Creek

1 site · RV, Tent6 acres · Columbia, NC

Located near Alligator River on the Little Alligator Creek. Fishing all around, just a short walk thru the woods or down the road. There is no clear path cut to the creek. I try to keep as much outside interference away from the property as possible. Public boat ramp in walking distance. Game lands are nearby with hunting for deer, bear etc. in season of course. No hunting allowed at Gator Creek. Not much light pollution so great for sky watchers. Lots of wild plants. Fiddle Head Ferns, Hearts A Busting, Wild Blueberries, Elderberry and more. A porta john located at my personal cabin but guest are welcome to use it or even pitch your tent in my cabin yard. City water available. We are adding a cooking shack for your use and hope to have it ready in a couple weeks. We do ask that you dispose of your trash appropriately because of the wild animals at Gator Creek. I am not on the site when campers are there. I want each camper to have the use of the property by themselves, that is the reason for only one camper at the time. I will add, I cannot guarantee how many Dragon Flys, birds, squirrels, bears etc. you will see, if any. You are camping in the wild in wetlands surrounded by state hunting preserves. If you want the outdoor life and like the wild Gator Creek is the place for you. PS: I am open to allowing car campers and or small camper vans.
