Kirkland Grove Campground is a historic Baptist campground located near Heathsville, Northumberland County, Virginia. It was established in 1892, and was the site of week-long religious services. The main building is the great Tabernacle, built in 1892. It measures 90 feet square and supported by timber columns supporting a standing seam metal hipped roof. The roof has four square tiers rising from the center, each tier growing smaller toward the top. The two other contributing buildings are the Camper's Tent and Preacher's Tent, both built in 1892. The property continues to be used for church meetings, revivals, reunions, and youth camp activities.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
