Kirkland Grove Campground
Kirkland Grove Campground, Historic Baptist campground in Heathsville, Virginia
The main Tabernacle at Kirkland Grove Campground spans 90 feet square, featuring timber columns that support a standing seam metal hipped roof with four rising tiers.
The campground was established in 1892 by William Dandridge Cockrell and served as a location for week-long religious services throughout the Northern Neck region.
Three Baptist churches in the Northern Neck region utilized this campground for revival meetings, with Kirkland Grove remaining the only one maintaining its original Tabernacle.
The 23.5-acre property includes the main Tabernacle, Camper's Tent, and Preacher's Tent, located 1.6 miles south of Heathsville on VA 779.
The campground received its name in recognition of Dr. William Heath Kirk, a Baptist minister who served Northumberland County from 1845 to 1884.
