1 night at Hidden Crick Farms

We had a comfortable and peaceful night. We liked the mowed trail around the fields.

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

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.

2 nights at Oak Grove Retreat

This is truly a peaceful, beautiful place to camp and just be. The owners and everyone there are welcoming and helpful, they will treat you like family. Everything is so well thought out, including environmentally conscious facilities, places to meditate, a nature trail, and lots of fun, hippie art. The chapel is the best part, especially the light coming through the windows and the drums. Definitely planning on coming back, with more people next time. It truly feels like sacred ground.

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

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!

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Fantastic spot for a weekend (or longer) getaway, or a stop-in while paddling the Roanoke River. The on-site portajohn was immaculate. The firepit and picnic table/benches at site one were quite handy as well. The on-site nature trails made for excellent wildlife viewing opportunities as well. Julia (host) was very kind and welcoming. I absolutely will book this site again in the future!

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

Incredibly beautiful and secluded campsites, and yet very easy to get to and even unload at the site. The sunset and stars there were amazing. Went to the site on a breezy day and a lot of wind blew in from the sound, but nothing I couldn’t manage. Julia was wonderful and very communicative about the campsites, and answered any questions I had. Had a lot of fun being here, and I can’t stress how beautiful the campsite was, how well set up the sites were and how clean the place was as well! Photos don’t do justice how cool this place was.

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

My husband and I had an amazing time car camping! This was our first time camping on the water and it was such a blast. Highly recommend renting the kayaks, especially for a lovely sunset view. The trails were also a nice addition and were very well maintained. Thanks so much, Julia!

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

Really nice camp ground and people. I will be returning.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

We loved camping at Spruill Farm! The directions were clear to get to the campsite and the host was easy to reach. The fire pit was large and well kept with plenty of seating. Plenty of space to park and pitch a tent. The sound was beautiful, we loved falling asleep to the sound of waves

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

We absolutely loved this spot. The campsite and the surrounding area was beautiful, well maintained. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming. We loved the campsite and the huge fire pit/camp sitting area.

3 nights at Spruill Conservation Farm

We stayed at site 1. I had my Toyota Tundra and a Rustic Trail Polar Bear teardrop. My buddy was in his Dodge Sprinter campervan and we had plenty of room. All 3 sites looked amazing. The views are beautiful. The hiking trails definitely added to the site. We walked them daily and even did a night hike. Rode our e-bikes to the local marina(Mackeys Landing Restaurant)several times to eat. We also did some paddling. We will definitely be back.

1 night at Spruill Conservation Farm

This is the second time we've been to this site and it was even better than the first, in which we thought was perfect! You can't beat the view and serenity that this place offers. Very well maintained... just an overall fantastic experience. We met the farmers and one of the owners this time, everyone is as nice as they can be! Very accommodating! Can't wait to go back!
