Breaks Interstate Park is a premier RV and camping destination nestled in Virginia's Appalachian Mountains along the Virginia-Kentucky border. The park is home to the Breaks Canyon, one of the deepest gorges east of the Mississippi River and famously called the "Grand Canyon of The South," providing stunning natural scenery and exceptional recreation opportunities.
The campground features comprehensive amenities including full hookups (water, electrical, and 50-amp service), pull-through sites, dump stations, shower houses, toilets, picnic tables, and grills for comfortable extended stays. Accommodations range from primitive campsites to fully equipped RV sites.
Outdoor recreation abounds with extensive hiking trails, scenic rim zipline experiences, rock climbing with over 300 routes, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. Water activities include kayaking and canoeing on the Russell Fork River—from leisurely paddles to technical whitewater—plus pedal boats and kayaks on Laurel Lake. A waterpark adds family-friendly fun with a beach-entry pool.
The park's general store, firewood availability, and playground ensure convenience and comfort. Fishing opportunities for bass and trout, ranger-led interpretive programs, and cultural exhibits enhance the experience. Located between Virginia and Kentucky in the scenic Appalachian region, Breaks Interstate Park combines natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation for campers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking variety—whether for outdoor thrills, family fun, or peaceful nature immersion.
