2pm August 8th - 2 pm August 10th, 2025 are currently not available for bookings due to the 3rd Annual Fig Festival! It is open to the public and finishes at 4 pm on August 10. More info coming soon at spruillfarm dot com, or FB SpruillConservationFarm.
The Spruill Farm belonged to the Spruill Family for over a hundred years and has just been set up as conservation easement protected land. 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. This makes the Bobby Wilkins shoreline trail so beautiful- always changing.

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!
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!
Spruill Conservation Farm has amazing views with beautiful open fields and gorgeous skies. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. The host is super friendly and makes you feel right at home. They go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. Definitely a place worth visiting.
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
We found this place last year.. it is our go to spot now! Great view and quiet relaxation! Met the owner this last time as well as the farmers! Super accommodating and the spark of Southern hospitality! We've been 3 times and can't wait until we get to go again!
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.
