Solitude at Thornton Farm


Peace and quiet equals “Solitude at my farm. I’m just like you. I want to camp at a quiet place in the country where it’s plenty of acres and no houses to look at and a clean bathroom and shower. Well it’s here. I’m Located in Wakefield Virginia. If you’re traveling to Virginia Beach I’m one hour away. From my farm there is a free ferry in Scotland where the ferry departs to Williamsburg just 30 minutes. At my farm I have 5 sites for tent/camping so it’s spaced appropriately apart I have 2 Rv sites totally away for their privacy and a new mini house also properly spaced away. All have a clean picnic table and a fire pit. 100 feet away you’ll find that clean bathroom, shower and a wash station for hygiene. You’ll see the love I put into this and because I love it and my prior guests love it, which means it may be right for you also. In the town of Wakefield you’ll find gas stations, dollar stores, a Value food market and if you want (to go) food we have that also. Plus it’s home to The Virginia Diner. Amenities include toilet access, a shower, trash disposal, picnic tables, and potable water. Pets are allowed, as are campfires.

One of our favorite games is Jenga, so when we saw jumbo jenga, we had to play a couple of rounds!! 

With so many acres of land, it was easy to walk one way and find a trail to head down to explore.  The weather was immaculate and we even found a nice stream to check out. 

Marvin set up this quaint area in the woods, away from the cabin for guests to enjoy some solitude and shade.  We had fun playing checkers and hanging out in the trees. 

This is one of Marvin's camp sites tucked into the woods! The perfect set up with a firepit to enjoy. 

I spent my morning snuggled up in a blanket with a book at one of the many fire pits on site.  It was so peaceful outside!

Sunset was incredible.  I also woke up for sunrise and it was a gorgeous sight to see over the acres of land with no obstructions. 

Our wonderful host, Marvin - he built everything on this property by himself! He was so kind and welcoming during our stay. We definitely want to come back!

Loved these signs when we got on property - such a sweet touch!

This was the view I had from the bench-swing in front of the tiny cabin. All ready to enjoy a warm fire on cold night - clear skies galore and beautiful stars later that evening!
