The most important amenity, in our opinion, is the tour shuttle to downtown Nashville. This shuttle costs $20 per person during our stay. It picks up right in front of the KOA store and drops off right in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame. It is a quick 20-minute ride to downtown Nashville. The drop-off location is a quick walk to Broadway where you can enjoy Nashville’s famed bars and live music.
On-site is a large swimming pool and hot tub. In addition, you will find a fitness room and many outdoor activities. These activities include outdoor bowling, a large pickleball court, and of course the KOAs famed jumping pillow.
The store is small but offers all that you will need during your stay. Inside the store, you will find a recreation room and the Notes Cafe where you will find breakfast every morning.
Campground Review
This KOA resort is unique in that it offers the normal KOA camping experience, yet it is set in the middle of a major U.S. city. If you are looking for relaxing views of nature, hiking, and seeing wildlife, this is not the campground for that. However, if you are traveling in your RV and looking to experience all that makes Nashville famous, this is the perfect location.
We have stayed here several times and have never been disappointed. The staff is kind and more than helpful. In addition to the shuttle to downtown, they offer guidance and tickets for guided tours of Nashville.
One small thing that the kids really enjoyed was the fact that the pool is open late into the evening, and well lit. Our boys thought there was something special about swimming in the pool under the stars.
The bathhouses were very clean and well-maintained. Although we have a small shower in the RV, we always appreciate being able to shower in a clean, full-size shower. This KOA resort did not disappoint.
If you want to spend time in the campground relaxing, the many activities keep people of all ages entertained during the day. The Nashville KOA Resort offers amazing, family-friendly Nashville camping.

Our Experience Family-Friendly Nashville Camping
Our cross-country travels have brought us to the Nashville KOA Resort several times. We have had great experiences staying here.
The first trip was a quick one-night stopover to South Texas. After a short time there, we knew we needed to spend more than one day enjoying all that the park offered. Therefore, we planned a trip to Nashville. This time, we stayed a few days at the KOA and experienced what Nashville offered.
During our multi-night stay, we had the opportunity to explore downtown Nashville. We were fortunate to enjoy live music and an amazing BBQ along Broadway.
Our family highly recommends setting up camp here to enjoy family-friendly Nashville camping.
