Weekend Trip to Evans Family Farm

We had the pleasure of staying here in the beginning of November. It’s a very scenic spot by several ponds and surrounded by forest. They had even just put in an electrical hookup for us to use. Abegail was a very responsive hostess and her husband even lent me his fishing rod to use. I probably would have caught something if my dog hadn’t thought it was some kind of fetch game lol. Lots of room for my pets to roam about and I had a couple great fires while I was there. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back someday!

As always, the site is well maintained, owners friendly and amazing....and the views beautiful. We have been here many times and will continue to do so. I absolutely recommend visiting and staying more than a few nights. The area is dog friendly and separated enough from each camp site to have privacy. The ability to purchase dried wood is always a plus!

What an amazing campsite! Stunning views over the Albemarle, well-marked nature trails, birdsong. Hawks over the fields during the day, barred owls at night! Very quiet, even with other campers on the property. Virtually no bugs (thank you November!) Julia and Lincoln are awesome hosts, easy to reach and very communicative. Look forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to Spruill Conservation Farm

The campsites have perfect waterfront views. Even with all three occupied they are still offer some privacy and plenty of room to spread your gear around. Bring your canoe or kayak. There is water access. The sites were free from litter. Not even a speck was found. There are benches around the fire pits and a picnic table provided. Well-seasoned hardwood firewood is available on site for a nominal fee. A non-potable water well with a pump is available between sites 1 and 2. There are several trails available also. All were on the provided map at the gate. They were maintained and very well marked with signage and color coded ribbons. Even though it’s secluded and VERY dark at night, a locked gate behind us gave us a sense of security. We knew no one was going to trouble us. The host was very communicative. Even though we didn’t require assistance, we knew she was available and eager to help. She provided very detailed maps to the farm and to the camp sites. Follow the instructions and you can’t mess it up. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, it was so peaceful, and look forward to our next visit.

The land here is gorgeous. Camping out on the edge of the sound brings joys of eagles, osprey, great blue herons, and many other birds. The sunsets and sunrises are dazzling to watch from the campsite. A fire pit helped nip off Autumn cold with a wide canopy of stars above. There’s also a little trail system to walk on.

We had a great time camping at the farm. Being on the water was amazing. We did car camping and got to see sunset and sunrise as well as kayak. The porta potty was very very clean and there is plenty of stocked up fire wood for fires sold at a fair price. We hope to come back one day!

4 nights at Spruill Conservation Farm

Great site! Site 2 combines some of pros from sites 1 and 3 and adds a few of its own! The weather was super windy coming off the water but the tree line between the site and the water did break it slightly. There was also enough space to park the truck right up close to the tent to take the brunt of the wind. This site is huge with at least 3 possible spots to put up large tents and a few other possibilities for smaller tents. There is an extra large picnic table and several benches. It is also a nice centralized location for the water pump, wood pile and porta potty. This trip was too windy for a fire, so we cooked inside the tent, but there is a firepit with lots of seating around it. While the weather didn't cooperate this trip, we still had a great time. Can't wait for the next trip! Winter camping, here come!

6 nights at River Sunrise

What a picturesque setting on the river to enjoy a beautiful sunrise & the day that follows. Views of the water, nice sandy “beach” (w/adirondack chairs), level cement pad, power & water, Wi-Fi, warm outdoor enclosed shower, dock and gracious, friendly hosts is what you’ll find at Riverview. We had a fabulous stay despite the cool weather. Our hosts went above and beyond by not only including us on a boat ride, but also chased down (and captured) our canopy that “took sail” in a gust of wind. If Riverview is available and you’re looking for a quiet place to hand out…book it! You can thank us later :-)
