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.

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.

Nice property with nice amenities. My biggest issue was that the bathroom (toilet) knob is installed backwards, so you cannot lock people out while using, and consequently, people can lock you -in- the commode. Given there is no venting for the heat, somewhat dangerous.

RV/Trailer camping at Thornton Farm
Quiet, Peaceful, Private
My husband and I spent a wonderful holiday weekend with Marvin. This was our first time using a Hipcamp host and we are already talking about our next visit. Quiet, peaceful and private are just three of the many positive words I could use to describe Marvin's slice of sunshine. We stayed at the only RV site with water and electric hook ups. Note to RVer's: It is a pull thru but slopes slightly to the right, nothing a few plastic blocks didn't correct. Petersburg is only 30 minutes up the road with lots to see, do and eat. We will be back to Thornton's Farm very soon. Thank you so much Marvin.

Excellent first experience with Hipcamp! Marvin’s property is really peaceful and the campsites are spread out far enough for comfort! We were able to bring our reactive dog and had no issues with people or other pets wandering too close. Had a great time and will definitely be back!
