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.

Stay on a working farm/ vineyard. Originally a tobacco farm that was converted into a muscadine vineyard. Currently it's more of a farm than a vineyard. The vines are still there, but it was empty for a couple years. Such a magical spot with so much history. Plenty of space to wonder.
Late summer we have Upick. We also grow vegetables and pasture raised meat/ eggs.

My daughter and I had an amazing time this weekend at site #3. While I initially loved the idea of a split level, I quickly realized I wish I would’ve booked #1 or #2. We had a truck bed tent and had our stuff laid out on the lower level. Definitely not a deal breaker, just me being critical of my own decision making. None the less, this place was everything we had hoped for and the water provided hours of entertainment. There was a perfect breeze coming off of the water and plenty of space to put my hammock and read.
Julia, thank you for stopping by and saying hello! And thank you for sharing this beautiful place with the community. We look forward to being back someday.

This place is such a gem. There are constant breezes off the sound that keep bugs down and feel so refreshing. It’s more private than any other campground I have stayed at. You can swim, kayak, fish, or just lay out in the hammock and watch the sunset. We kayaked with dolphins and stingrays at sunset. Really an amazing and unique place. It’s twenty minutes to the closest town so bring what you need. This is not a base camp for exploring surrounding areas - it is the destination. There are some small towns nearby though if you want to explore and I highly recommend a trip to Pungo lake at sunset to observe the bears.
