Unplug and enjoy our piece of farm heaven. Can't beat the views of horses grazing and chickens free ranging! We now have baby goats and ducks as well! Cotton, tobacco, soybeans and peanuts grow in the fields surrounding our property. Take a nice walk through the woods around a pond to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Add on a fresh dozen eggs (chicken or duck), a bottle of our all natural insect repellant or an owner lead horseback riding adventure. If you're lucky you may even get to feed one of our new baby goats.
Nice and quiet and an amazing view of the sunset and the stars after dark!

We live on a diversified farm with hogs, chickens, guineas, five dogs, cattle, and a milk cow... with a blueberry and grape orchard for u-pick customers. Our farm contains about 400 acres of fields, woodlands, our home and an 18th century home that we restored for nightly rentals. It is quiet here with night skies where you can actually see the stars. Yet we are only 18 miles from the Jamestown Ferry and Colonial Williamsburg and more.

Great location only 15 min off I-95. Far enough away from the city and roads to see the stars at night, close enough for easy access to all modern conveniences. Accessible by a paved road. A path is cut right through the property for ease to find your ideal camping location.
You can park your vehicle off the paved road or on the property itself. There is a creek a few hundred yards into the property that's not crossable by vehicle. A vehicle can pull onto the property via the cutout road but I wouldn’t pull an RV/vehicle with a trailer onto it.

This was a wonderful stop for us. Both the host were incredibly nice. The location was beautiful!!!
We saw lots of fireflies and the view of the stars was amazing.
The location is one to keep an eye out on as they plan on adding more to it.
The only downside was there were ticks, just make sure you check for them and you are good.
If given the opportunity again we 100% would come back.

The location is only a 15 minute drive from the highway. The place offers a fantastic experience with all sorts of cute animals and antique vehicles. The host is super friendly and helpful. I wish I had much more time to take advantage of the place to relax and see everything. My site was the one with 30 amp and water and everything worked perfectly. It was nice and flat so I didn't need to level. Even though I arrived very late to host with very welcoming.

Marvin is an extremely gracious host. The property is well suited for tent and car/truck camping. I cannot comment on RV accomodations but would inquire if that's what you have...he does have the space for RV's though (I don't know what hookups are available). There is a single toilet for the campground, a utility sink and shower (very clean!). The grounds are setup with a spacious picnic area and cornhole game. The campsites have a fire pit and picnic table in each. This would be a fantastic place for a group or family gathering. Bring a porta potty, your tent/sleeping bag, something to grill and have fun! My dog also loved camping at Marvin's.
