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.

Lovely quiet spot. The AC in the sugarshack was a lifesaver. Loved the little walking trail and all the little amenities. The host was super nice and helpful as well. Definitely will be visiting again.

First, the hosts were so warm and welcoming. The place is adorable with everything we needed to have a comfortable and quiet long weekend. Melvin even helped is get the grill rolling, and showed my husband how to roast peanuts. He sent a box home with is from his farm so we can try it ourselves. Really could not have asked for a better experience.

Weekend Trip to Solitude at Thornton Farm
Absolutely loved my stay at The Sugar Shack! It was the perfect home away from home with every detail thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and functionality. Marvin is a perfect host.
The location was ideal—peaceful and surrounded by nature, but close enough to amenities to grab anything we needed. I especially enjoyed the outdoor area; having morning coffee on the deck with scenic views was the perfect start to each day. Inside, the amenities were impressive for such a compact space. The bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless with a fantastic shower.
If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, I highly recommend this tiny home getaway. It’s a beautiful reminder that you don’t need a lot of space to feel at home. Can’t wait to return!
