We were on a long road trip and looking for spots to stop, stretch our legs, and give the kids a…read morebreak from the car. This was the perfect stop! We loved riding the chair lift down to the tunnel and, wow, what an impressive sight! The river was beautiful and our kids loved wading in just a bit to cool off before heading back up the lift. The ranger service was wonderful with lots of tips and activities for the kids to do on small, manageable hikes. The kids also enjoyed playing on the train engine displayed near the parking lot. Definitely a great spot to visit even just to ride the lift down to the tunnel and back up!

Clearly, this place is marketed to resemble Natural Bridge, Virginia's better known (and frankly,…read moremore impressive) attraction. The park here is set up with a number of camping facilities and trails that have a separate entrance, while the attraction itself is accessible by parking at a visitor center and either walking down a fairly steep trail or taking a (seasonal) chairlift. On the dreary day I visited, there was barely a soul in sight, but the park seemed to be setting up for a winter lights festival. The tunnel itself is used for a railroad line, and a viewing platform allows you to go to the edge of the tunnel but you can't actually go through it, which is disappointing. The trail downstream through the gorge is pleasant and worth a brief jaunt but it terminates quickly. Those seeking more of a hike will find the ridge trail that heads upwards worthwhile, and the views of the tunnel from above are probably at least as good as what you'd get walking up close to it. The local Lover's Leap is majestic (and horrifying, if you think about it). I did not think it one of the more impressive state parks in either Virginia or in the the confluence of states in this region, but there are some nice things to see.

Each site has full hookups including internet and sewer and everything is very clean and well maintained. The check in area had a picnic pavilion with grills free for use. Big Stone is less than a mile whith walking trails that pass right by the campground. You can walk to several restaurants and stores. Be sure to check out Curlins and order the fried green tomatoes.

The bath house was clean and decorated very nice. Looks like it has been freshly painted. A wonderful covered pavilion with lots of tables and gas grills. They even had season firewood available for a couple dollars. They even have a draw bridge to walk across the powell river to access the Big Stone Gap town's walking trail. It is truly a hidden gem.

Park rangers don't do anything, it's a very uncomfortable environment when the park rangers are barking orders without having any work done themselves, at least through my observations. The maintenance crew also seems to slack off on occasion on the bathrooms with the lifeguards cleaning the stalls?? I will be returning but I don't expect the staff will to be very helpful.

No water or electricity at tent sites but being prepared we didn't need them. Staff was fantastic at checkin. We followed Lester(?) to the site which was on the top of the hill away from the RV sites. Although this is a trail head to the ATV trails we didn't hear any of them. Plenty of deer around the campgrounds. See the deer to the right of the trash can in the second pic. Beautiful nite sky. Some noise at night from the nearby power plant but just sounds like a big fan so it wasn't a bother. Couldn't be happier here and can't wait to return. Highly recommend.

Much of the local mountain biking scene maintains these trails to exceptional levels. High knob was vandalized / burned down a number of years ago, but the rebuild place gives just as good a views and is more accessible. Not as good in the Parkitecture front, but does it's purpose. Flag Rock is part of the area and is a beautiful overlook to Norton. Another "must see" spot. Numerous trails and routes from this part of the area. Also, there are a ton of camping, picnicing, shelters and other ways to spend some good times outdoors with friends and family.
