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.

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.

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!

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.

We had a great time camping at site 4! Peace Hill Farms is a gorgeous property, especially in the spring. The site was large and flat with trees on 3 sides and a horse paddock on the other. The 4 horses there were extremely playful and curious - we had so much fun just standing at the fence or sitting at our site and watching them graze and play. They would come up to us to see what we were up to and if we had treats. Very cool! The church/community building, barn, and other camp sites were all on the other side of the field which was great. A close walk to the bathroom or kitchen to wash dishes, but far enough to be away from other campers and any farm smells. All the camp sites were full the two nights we were there and we could see and hear some music from one of the camp sites from ours, but it wasn’t disruptive and we enjoyed running into them and chatting in the church kitchen. The property was gorgeous, great trails and roads to explore the different sections of the farm - the fishing pond, the bnb, all the different animals (and their babies!) spread out everywhere. We never saw anyone that worked there, but they were available over the phone and the bathrooms/kitchen were very clean and well stocked. We saw the fire ants that some other reviews mentioned but didn’t have any problems with them biting. We camped during a dry period, so no camp fires were allowed at site 4 which was disappointing, but we made the made the most of a camp stove. We’ll be coming back!

We had a great time tent camping at site three. With Lafayette Hall so close, it was easy to get to the fully appointed kitchen, clean bathroom and shower. All of the sites are within eye-shot of each other but far enough away not to bother each other with noise. All the animals were lovely. We enjoyed listening to the sheep and watching the horses go in and out of their far pasture in the morning and evening. Highly recommend!

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.

We had a great time tent camping at Camp Trout. The fire pit was great and the night sky was amazing! The property was beautiful and very private. The outhouse was very clean and a great bonus. The $5.00 bundle of wood was well worth it. Evie, the host, reached out to make sure we had everything we needed and was always available.

The place was awesome and beautiful. ALOT of space all to your self. The host was fantastic didn't bother us unless we asked him for stuff. Opened his entire place to me and my family and let us do what we wanted. He let my kids pet, clean, brush, ride, feed the horses. We asked and he had no problem doing that for my young kids for a small extra fee. He's great, the place is great and private. Trails to hike through as well. We ll be going back many times for a quick quiet getaway. Oh and he let my daughter chase the sheep! She was dying to play with that thing and he let her go. Cant say enough great things about the host and place.

The site was great for camping of any sort for a self-sufficient camper. I was only there 1 night so I put my tent, etc under a tarp and slept in my SUV. I knew there was an outhouse, and it far surpassed the one I grew up with-no bad smells or bugs! The site itself was straightforward with a picnic table and fire pit. The heavy wooded area to the north contributed to my feeling of being in the forest. There was no noise from traffic to
dampen my enthusiasm. I had hoped to get some pictures of the night sky but I had not planned well enough because the moon was full and outshone the stars all night. The map feature from Hipcamp worked well when I was searching for the site and my GPS took me back to civilization when I had to leave.
