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.

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.

Learn more about this land:
Nestle on the Pamunkey Indian Reservation also known for Spiritual Healing that overlooks the Pamunkey River. The Pamunkey people have been here for over 10,000 years making this area one of the oldest reservations in the country.
We have a small platform sitting right on the water for privacy and beautiful views of the river. You may see Bald Eagles, Grey Herons, Ducks, Geese, River Otters, and so much more. During low tide, the water is pulled back into the main part of the river and this is where you will see the wildlife during this time. There are up to 8 Bald Eagles here at a time and during the Spring to Fall, you will see Osprey hunting for food right in front of you and usually getting chased by the Eagles. What an awesome site to be able to camp and be a part of so many creatures all in their natural habitat.
We live right up the hill. Depending on where your tent is located, you may or may not see our home. Usually you cannot but want you to be aware. When you are camping, we respect your space and privacy to the fullest.
During the full moon, the water on the campsite will rise and you will need to camp closer to the land. Also, when the tied is out, you will not be able to launch the canoe or kayak.
There is a short path to walk and it is a very short incline.
Please note that hunting season starts in October, and you may hear the noise.

Twenty plus years ago, there was an ad in the paper listing ten acres for sale in Old Church. It has always been a special place and so the adventure began... We built the house and ever since, have been adding gardens, paths, trails, benches, swings and generally giving back the love to the land for the pleasure it has provided. As a result, there is wildlife and birds galore. Hummingbirds will delight you as will the tree frogs and lizard frogs at the frog pond canoe. Wander down the path to our first vegetable garden location which is now a prime spot for pitching a tent or just hanging out and watching for deer, turkeys, or turtles. Depending on the season, you can enjoy blooming azaleas, coneflowers, crepe myrtles or zinnias. This is a super woodland that will give you every opportunity to relax and wonder at the beauty of nature. The RV site is close to the house and we will be right here should you need us.

Wisteria is such a cute site. Our family of 5 was looking for somewhere to watch the Perseid meteor shower & the open field next to the cabin was perfect.

We had a great stay at Wildflower Meadow Camp. The campsite was peaceful, private, and surrounded by beautiful woods and open meadow, which made it feel like a real escape from everything. The fire pit was a great touch for the evenin,, and having the creek nearby added to the whole experience.
The site is definitely primitive, but that’s part of its charm. Everything felt simple, quiet, and connected to nature. We really enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again.

Want to see my stay? Check out my video “Heavy Rainstorm” that posts Friday August 7, 2026 at 5 p.m. on YouTube. Search 1perspective123. This is my 3rd trip to Cornerstone Farm. I’ve been to 3 out of 4 of their sites and they all are great with their own personality. Camp Trout is an exposed site nestled up to the tree-line. It has the most centric view of the farm field. I enjoyed a relaxing day of rain falling on my tent while I chilled out inside. I definitely recommend this site. It also features a picnic table and trashcan for your convenience. It’s a quiet place where you can enjoy SOLITUDE.

We absolutely LOVED our stay. Marvin is very hospitable. He made sure to greet us and give us all the info when we arrived. After that we were left peacefully to ourselves. Our reactive dogs were able to run off leash safely. Despite being right beside a cornfield, nature was everywhere. We were able to observe bats, rabbits, cow killers, nightshade and the most perfect nightsky. The bathhouse was simple, clean and functional. Can't wait for our next trip!
