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.

Thornton's Farm offers a peaceful and quiet retreat, where Marvin, the attentive host, ensures guests feel welcome and comfortable. Visitors appreciate the clean and well-kept facilities, including a tidy bathroom and shower. The campsite provides ample space for privacy, yet it’s close enough to amenities and attractions like Petersburg, only about 30 minutes away. While some minor site features like slope adjustments may be needed, campers consistently highlight the relaxing atmosphere and Marvin's hospitality as standout features.

Peace & Solitude at Thornton Farm

Tent camping on Marvin's land was wonderful. Marvin was kind enough to bring kindling and plenty of lighter fluid/kerosene to help us get our fire started. Outhouse was nice and clean when we arrived. Location is very close to Virginia Diner, which is a must-visit.
