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.

This was an incredible campsite! Marvin the host was amazing and reached out right away to welcome us. When we arrived we were the only tent site in use. He let us pick whichever and we tucked ourselves away in number 2. You can really tell how much pride they take in their sites. It's beautiful and well kept. They have a safety light if you go for a late night beach run and come back at 1am as well! Our dogs were so happy and enjoyed the quiet. The field with cornhole and other games between each site and the lodging sites was fun and a nice touch. The cherry on top was the restroom and full shower. So nice! Thank you! Well definitely come back when we pass through again!

Marvin is the best! He is super welcoming! The Sugar Shack was perfect for a weekend away! It was quiet and very private! 10/10 would stay again!

This is a sweet spot and the host is very welcoming and generous, I really enjoyed our conversation. The site is clean and very well kept. My main reservation is in the lighting. At each camp site there are solar lights installed that you can’t turn off. They come on a dusk and stay on all night. Part of what I love about camping is the dark skies. This doesn’t exist at this site. Also, as another camper noted, the door handle to the toilet room is installed backward so you can’t lock it but you could get locked in! Overall I really enjoyed my stay.

Mr Marvin was a great host. Our stay was peaceful and quiet. Not too far from stores and places to take nice drives all day. The ferry wasn’t that far either. The ferry takes you to Williamsburg, Yorktown and Gloucester. When you get over to Williamsburg area and If you are looking for a good soft serve cone ice cream visit Shoofly. The soft serve ice cream was so delicious. However, they also have snow-cones as well.
