Fantastic location for coastal camping! Sit by the fire and listen to the sounds of the waves. I enjoyed kayaking and walking the trails. Julia was hospitable and responsive with clear directions.

We absolutely loved the site on the sound! The water looked like glass and the reflection of the trees was beautiful! The sunset was gorgeous, and it was a wonderful place to get out into nature away from all of the noise!! We will be back!

We had the pleasure of staying here in the beginning of November. It’s a very scenic spot by several ponds and surrounded by forest. They had even just put in an electrical hookup for us to use. Abegail was a very responsive hostess and her husband even lent me his fishing rod to use. I probably would have caught something if my dog hadn’t thought it was some kind of fetch game lol. Lots of room for my pets to roam about and I had a couple great fires while I was there. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back someday!

As always, the site is well maintained, owners friendly and amazing....and the views beautiful. We have been here many times and will continue to do so. I absolutely recommend visiting and staying more than a few nights.
The area is dog friendly and separated enough from each camp site to have privacy. The ability to purchase dried wood is always a plus!

What an amazing campsite! Stunning views over the Albemarle, well-marked nature trails, birdsong. Hawks over the fields during the day, barred owls at night! Very quiet, even with other campers on the property. Virtually no bugs (thank you November!) Julia and Lincoln are awesome hosts, easy to reach and very communicative.
Look forward to coming back!

Great location on the water. Clean and private site with a water pump (not for drinking, but good for dishes or personal hygiene). Very friendly hosts. Would go again!

1 night at Serenity
This host communicated with excellent response times and even called to check on me while i was running late ( from kayak fishing til dark ) on the way to his lodging ! The entire rental lodgings were made to look & feel like a outdoor camp or retreat being it was along a pristine tidewater creek. The experience was just so friendly and Rizwan gave me the impression i was a welcome and appreciated guest. Definitely a great value & look forward to another stay at Serenity . thx Bluejay fan !

Weekend Trip to Serenity
We had an amazing time! The RV was beautiful! It had everything you might need. You could bring your clothes and food and you'd be all set! The screened in deck was perfect!! We spent our time playing cards on our deck, cooking food, fishing from the floating dock, taking out the paddle boat and fishing from it, (there are also kayaks available) star gazing in the provided zero gravity chairs, and napping. Riz, the host, was a super cool guy!! A couple of the days there were a couple different campers nearby, yet it was still so quiet and felt private. We can't wait to come back! We plan to bring my boyfriends 14 year old son and his friend and we will rent the tent on the water for them, and the rv for us! They will love it!! Thank you Riz for an amazing stay your property you have built is impressive to say the least!

I had a good night at Evan's Farm made even better by the fact I was the only camper. Spoke to the owner who was very nice. The fishing was good and the night sky was great. Pretty quiet place which is just what I was looking for. Would definitely come back.

This was a great place to spend the night with my son instead of a boring typical hotel. It had just enough rustic flavor to feel like you were camping out in the woods over the water, but still had a shower and a toilet you could use which made it easier with a kid. Rizwan was very friendly and accommodating and would recommend this for anyone wanting a more natural camping experience.

The campsites have perfect waterfront views. Even with all three occupied they are still offer some privacy and plenty of room to spread your gear around. Bring your canoe or kayak. There is water access.
The sites were free from litter. Not even a speck was found. There are benches around the fire pits and a picnic table provided. Well-seasoned hardwood firewood is available on site for a nominal fee. A non-potable water well with a pump is available between sites 1 and 2.
There are several trails available also. All were on the provided map at the gate. They were maintained and very well marked with signage and color coded ribbons.
Even though it’s secluded and VERY dark at night, a locked gate behind us gave us a sense of security. We knew no one was going to trouble us.
The host was very communicative. Even though we didn’t require assistance, we knew she was available and eager to help. She provided very detailed maps to the farm and to the camp sites. Follow the instructions and you can’t mess it up. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, it was so peaceful, and look forward to our next visit.

The land here is gorgeous. Camping out on the edge of the sound brings joys of eagles, osprey, great blue herons, and many other birds. The sunsets and sunrises are dazzling to watch from the campsite. A fire pit helped nip off Autumn cold with a wide canopy of stars above. There’s also a little trail system to walk on.

We had a great time camping at the farm. Being on the water was amazing. We did car camping and got to see sunset and sunrise as well as kayak. The porta potty was very very clean and there is plenty of stocked up fire wood for fires sold at a fair price. We hope to come back one day!

Great site! Site 2 combines some of pros from sites 1 and 3 and adds a few of its own! The weather was super windy coming off the water but the tree line between the site and the water did break it slightly. There was also enough space to park the truck right up close to the tent to take the brunt of the wind. This site is huge with at least 3 possible spots to put up large tents and a few other possibilities for smaller tents. There is an extra large picnic table and several benches. It is also a nice centralized location for the water pump, wood pile and porta potty. This trip was too windy for a fire, so we cooked inside the tent, but there is a firepit with lots of seating around it. While the weather didn't cooperate this trip, we still had a great time. Can't wait for the next trip! Winter camping, here come!
