RV sites near Lebanon, Tennessee offer varying degrees of accessibility to Nashville's attractions while maintaining distance from urban congestion. Located in Wilson County with elevations around 640 feet, the area experiences hot summers and mild winters with occasional freezing temperatures from December through February. Most campgrounds in the Lebanon region maintain at least partial operations year-round, with peak season running April through October.
What to do
Duck River access: River Road RV Park & Horse Camp provides a convenient base for outdoor activities. "Duck River is just 5 minutes away, and Henry Horton State Park is close by—great for fishing, hiking, or kayaking," notes Christie B. This park serves as a functional basecamp for nature exploration.
Live music options: Many RV parks near Lebanon feature regular entertainment. At Grand Ole RV Resort & Market, "Live music every night was nice," according to Ed S., while another camper mentioned that "The entertainment for NYE was seriously the most fun we've had out in a while. Nothing says Nashville like live country music!"
Water recreation: Four Corners RV Resort offers direct lake access with rental options. "We rented the pontoon and enjoyed the beautiful lake," shares Stephanie R. The lakefront location provides opportunities for swimming and boating, with one camper noting they "spent a week on a Lakefront site with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Additionally, we were right next to one of the courtesy docks where our family members picked us up on their boat."
What campers like
Concrete pads and level sites: Elm Hill RV Resort receives consistent praise for site quality. "The sites are level and have nice firepits," reports Chris H., who adds, "This campground is beautiful and clean..most sites are waterfront and have great sunrise views." Sites are constructed with stability in mind.
Helpful staff: RV parks in the region typically offer assistance with parking and setup. At Nashville North KOA, "Camp host was so sweet and helpful. Not super fancy but you can tell there are lots of new additions, updates and great care of the sites," according to Randal F. Similarly, another camper at Grand Ole RV Resort noted, "I'm definitely going to stay there every time I stop in Nashville" due to the welcome experience of "being greeted at my truck, checked-in and lead to my site by golf cart."
Swimming options: Multiple parks feature pools or water access. "The swimming pool was very busy and well maintained," notes James R. about Nashville North KOA. Four Corners RV Resort offers alternative swimming with "a swimming beach" though one visitor advised, "Rocky Bottom must wear water shoes."
What you should know
Highway and train noise: Many campgrounds experience noise from transportation corridors. Grand Ole RV Resort is "in between a railroad and a highway," with one camper noting, "Noise didn't bother us at all from the trains, but we are from the city." Similarly, Nashville North KOA experiences "Noisy due to the highway that runs right on the other side of the tree line."
Site spacing considerations: Proximity between sites varies widely between parks. Nashville North KOA campers frequently mention, "Sites are very close together. Not much room between my rv and neighbor." Conversely, Campers RV Park offers "back-in and full time sites have ample space for those looking for a longer stay."
Bug preparation: Lakefront properties require insect management. Four Corners RV Resort campers recommend "bringing bug spray for your RV because at night they are all over the door and walls." Elm Hill RV Resort similarly experiences seasonal insect activity with one camper mentioning mosquitos were "so thick it was impossible to not get bit by them."
Tips for camping with families
Activity amenities: Campers RV Park provides numerous recreational options. "Activities everywhere! There are pavilions and out buildings setup with games, hammocks, and all kinds of fun family-friendly things to see and do," reports Tyler F. This makes extended stays more enjoyable for children.
Playground availability: Nashville RV and Cabins Resort earns praise for its "awesome pool and play areas for kiddos." However, Grand Ole RV Resort disappoints some families as "they show a playset on their map and it was two regular swings and a baby swing. This was disappointing since we had little ones."
Pet policies: Four Corners RV Resort restricts certain camping setups. One disappointed traveler mentioned, "Couldn't even stay here because I have a roof top tent/camper was super excited. Nice lady I talked to when I tried to book but apparently the owners allow no types of tents." Always verify pet and equipment policies before booking.
Tips from RVers
City shuttle services: Grand Ole RV Resort offers transportation into Nashville. "We used their shuttle service into Nashville," mentions Brenda L., providing a convenient option for visiting downtown without moving your rig.
Advance reservations essential: Campgrounds fill quickly, especially during Nashville events and summer months. During peak season at Four Corners RV Resort, expect competition for waterfront sites as one camper noted, "We only stayed for two days but it was a great experience."
Check site measurements carefully: Elm Hill RV Resort requires careful attention to published site lengths. "Be very cautious of the site lengths. Some are extremely short and I'd say the measurements are nearly exact," warns Beth H., adding "It was exactly the length we needed with nearly zero wiggle room."
