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

James was so sweet and helpful, gave me a tour and made sure all my questions were answered and needs were met. Everything about the area is amazing. I woke up every morning to a beautiful river that winds right down to the ocean, flanked by shady trees all the way. The minnows here were so fun to watch- even they seemed happy to be here, practically dancing atop the water. The beach is a short quiet walk down the road. I met crabs, birds, frogs, even a turtle! Woke up early one morning to the see the sunrise over the waves, and with the sea grass swaying with the tides it was just incredible.
The sites are all well stocked and quiet, theres even fire extinguishers! And the firewood was complimentary too. Plenty of spots around the area to sit and watch the stars (incredible view of the night sky btw, the milky way was visible!) and there’s lots of charming decor and pretty string lights. Really cozy all around, and James is just the sweetest guy. He gave me a few recommendations for what to do in the nearby town, so one of my days i went exploring Beaufort and had a lovely time. Lots of cool ships and neat little shops to explore!
Apollo is one of the friendliest chillest dogs i’ve ever met, loved getting to pet him in the mornings. This place is a really good deal for the price- kayaks were free to use (and so much fun) complimentary wifi and firewood, location is amazing, not to mention free shower! All around, I had a truly incredible time and i’m sad to have to leave!

This site was just what I needed for the night. The setting was beautiful and easy to get to. It was so nice being sandwiched between the 2 ponds. The bugs were large and numerous enough to carry you off, but that was not unexpected based on other reviews. Overall a very nice spot and one I would use again as a stop over going from the Outer Banks.
