Nashville East-Lebanon KOA

This is an older park on a hill beside I-40. Only the front sites get the loud noise though. Quite a few long term residents and some short term sites. Sites are gravel and not very level. The restrooms are dated but clean. The staff is friendly and very helpful. About 30 minutes from Nashville make this a good economical option when visiting but it is priced a little high for the quality.

We were there the first week of February for work. The weather sucked but had water, sewer, and electricity. We used our hotspot because the free WIFI wasn't going to do what we wanted it to do. Everyone we dealt with was super friendly and helpful. You could hear the road noise but there are quite of few emergency vehicles that drive along the freeway with their sirens....so you do hear that. The laundry facility was nice.

If you go there in the winter be sure to bring your heated hose.

The only negative I can think about is that the site is located in such a spot that it was slightly annoying to get anywhere.....so this was very minor.

This is a good place to stay near Nashville (<30 minute drive depending on traffic). The service was top notch. Check in is easy especially if you have previously stayed at a KOA. Availability was tight and we could not stay an extra night (Friday). It is difficult to find without Google maps. Once checked in you are escorted to your spot and checked on to be sure everything is satisfactory. The sites are close but not uncomfortable. There is a fire pit and picnic table. My site was pull through but there are a few back in spots. Full hookups are available but were taken already. We had 20/30/50 amp and water. There is a dump station on the property (very nice and well engineered). Check out is 11 am. Wifi is not great but cell service has good data speeds. Many antenna TV channels are available. There is a pool, basketball court, kids playground, picnic pavilion, pet area, laundry and showers that are kept nice. There is a dog park. Good places to visit include President Jackson’s Hermitage, Broadway music venues, the Music Hall of Fame, Johnny Cash museum and the Parthenon.

Most tenants seem to be long term or people working nearby on assignment. Site was almost level. Utilities were easy to access. When I called to make a reservation, I asked how long it would take to drive to downtown Nashville and was told about 20 minutes. If you hit I40 during the rush hours that could actually be 45 - 60 minutes. They advertise multiple over the air TV channels (there is no cable). That may be true, but only one network channel came in (ABC) the rest were mostly religious channels. They advertise WiFi. True, but the free option is very limited speed and data, however, you can pay $4 per day for a better option. This is a good choice for an overnight.
