    Breaks, Virginia

    Welcome to Breaks Interstate Park Campground, a fantastic spot near Breaks, Virginia. This place is a real treat for anyone looking to escape into nature. The campground is part of Breaks Interstate Park, often called the "Grand Canyon of the South," and it's easy to see why. The views here are absolutely stunning, with dramatic overlooks and a beautiful lake that make for some unforgettable sunsets.

    The campground itself has a lot to offer. There are several loops to choose from, each with its own charm. Loop B is a favorite among visitors because it's close to hiking trails, a laundry facility, a basketball court, and a small camp store stocked with essentials like ice and firewood. The bathhouses are clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus.

    If you're into hiking, you're in luck. The park has several trails, including some that are quite strenuous but worth the effort for the views. The trails are well-marked, and you'll find information boards at most overlooks to help you understand what you're seeing. Wildlife is abundant, so keep an eye out—you might spot deer or even a bear if you're lucky.

    For those who prefer a bit more comfort, the park also offers cabins, a lodge, and even some glamping options. There's a restaurant on-site if you don't feel like cooking, and it gets good reviews from campers. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.

    One thing to note: the roads leading to the park can be a bit challenging, especially if you're driving a larger vehicle. But once you're here, it's well worth the drive. Just make sure to bring all your supplies, as the nearest stores are a bit of a trek.

    Overall, Breaks Interstate Park Campground is a fantastic place to unwind, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. Whether you're here for the hiking, the views, or just some peace and quiet, you won't be disappointed.

    Coeburn, Virginia

    Strategic Location for peaceful camping with lots of nearby options. Camping is very primitive and rustic as new amenities come online in planned future. The best time of booking is the weekend at present.

    We have:

    Wooded/Grassy hills with plenty of tree cover and open space to spread out . A uniquely positioned community fire pit is available with an impressive view. It is very rustic and primitive, but well kept, quiet, secluded, with developing surroundings.

    There is direct access to Jefferson National Forest and miles of hiking, biking and horseback trails. Equestrians encouraged, but is Bring your own horse and Tie Line.

    Nearby sites include Bark Camp Lake, Guest River Gorge, Bear Rock, Little Stony Falls, Chief Benge Trail, Devils Bath Tub, and High Knob. We are also located along several driving and scenic routes to include: Backroads of the Cumberland's, Appalachian Backroads, Virginia Wildlife and Birding Trail, and Thomas Jefferson Scenic Byway (Rt. 72). In addition, within a short drive there is an ATV trailhead in the local town. The Clinch River is not far at all as well.

    There is a small quaint downtown less than 5 miles with grocery, gas, supplies, and a few places to eat.

    Mission:

    The original idea for CR Adventure Outpost came many years ago. We grew up visiting "Grandma & Grandpa" in Wise County and developed a deep love for the area, the outdoors, and all it had to offer. There came a point, , when we realized that the amount of outdoor activities and authentic cultural experiences could indeed support visitors. It could also support many business opportunities once everyone became aware of what was all around them. At that point, a process began of research and planning on ideas some thought were pointless. People deeply want to get back to nature and withdrawal from a fast paced materialistic society, at least long enough to realize what is really important in life. There is a huge need and vast opportunity to take advantage of the many beautiful landscapes in Southwest Virginia.

      Haysi, Virginia

      Thunder River Outdoor Recreation and Campground is located along the Russell Fork River in what is known locally as the “Splashdam” area in Haysi, VA. The property was once home to a thriving coal community until a flood in 1957. After that it served as the site for a Clinchfield Coal Company “tipple” for several years. More recently the property was abandoned and had become overgrown and pretty much uninhabitable. The site, now owned by the Hill family has undergone a transformation to become a destination for camping and outdoor recreation.

      The location beside the river offers access for fishing, kayaking/canoeing/tubing, swimming and picnicking in a private setting. During the month of October, with the release of water from the John Flannagan Dam, Dickenson County and the Russell Fork become a destination for white water rafters.

      The property is also on an ATV route with access to the Haysi Ridgeview Trailhead approximately one mile away. The Haysi Ridgeview Trail is part of the Spearhead Trail system which in connection with the Coal Canyon trail offers approximately 200 miles of trails (connects to the town of Grundy and the Breaks Park).
