Cedars of Lebanon State Park
RV Guide

With its pleasant location in Lebanon, just 20 minutes away outside of Nashville, there isn’t a better way to enjoy the unique state of Tennessee than with a visit to Nashville East / Lebanon KOA. Head out and enjoy the gorgeous countryside with its wealth of outdoor activities, or drive into the city and catch shows featuring some of the best country music artists in the world. Nashville East / Lebanon KOA is an ideal place to have a relaxing vacation, where you’ll find amenities including a swimming pool, a dog park, Wi-Fi, 50-amp service, fishing, and pull-through sites for rigs up to 90 feet.

Campground 1 has 45 campsites that can accommodate RVs from 20 to 100 feet long. However, the majority of the sites are for rigs 50 to 70 feet long, which is still huge. With water and 20- to 30-amp electric hookups, you can cook in your rig or outside on the provided BBQ grill or fire ring. Each site also has its own picnic table and lantern hanger as well and is within a short walk to the showers and restrooms.

This campground has some sharp turns so it is best to check the reservation information when reserving your spot to make sure you will be able to maneuver your RV into place. Talk to the park ranger if you have any difficulties getting into your spot. Your kids will enjoy the ball field just to the north of the camp on the other side of the creek. Pets are also welcome but must be kept on a leash and not unattended during your stay.

Campground 2 has 35 spacious campsites with sites that can accommodate motorhomes up to 80 feet, but the majority are 50 to 55 feet long. All sites have 20- to 30-amp electric and water hookups, so you will have no trouble cooking inside or out with the BBQ grill provided by the park. You are welcome to bring your pets but must be restrained at all times.

You’ll be able to eat together at the picnic table rather than having to balance your plate on your lap in a camp chair and there is a lantern hanger so you can light up the whole area. The comfort station is between campsites 79 and 81, which has hot showers and modern restrooms. You’ll be right next to the disc golf course and swimming pool too so you can enjoy them as well. Reservations are required and can be set up to 12 months in advance.

Campground 3 has 30 campsites that have water and 20- to 30-amp electricity so you have most of the comforts of home. Cooking is easy whether you want to be inside or cookout on the grill provided by the park. You can all eat at the picnic table together with a lantern hanger nearby to keep your area lit up when the sun goes down. In the center of the campground, you can find modern restrooms and hot showers for your convenience. Bring your furbaby too but keep him on a leash or otherwise restrained.

Cave Creek runs right alongside the campground and there is a playground for the kids right on the other side. The ball field is across Cedar Forest Road by Campground 1 where you can also find another comfort station. If you need to dump the wastewater tank, the park provides a dump station at the end of the road and the camp store and laundromat are nearby as well. Reservations are needed and can be made up to a year in advance.

If you want to spend a few nights indoors for a change, reserve one of the nine cabins at the park. Located to the east of the disc golf course and pool, and right next to the Limestone Sinks Trail, these cabins are a serene retreat from your busy life. Each of the cabins can accommodate up to six guests with two bedrooms and a loft and one full bath. The downstairs living space has two couches and a television with cable. The cozy fireplace with gas logs makes the room even more charming.

Outside the cabin, you can use the BBQ grill to cook up some steaks to eat at the picnic table while you enjoy the peacefulness of the Tennessee woods. If you’re bringing your furbaby with you, make sure you reserve one of the two pet-friendly cabins. Reservations can be made up to a year in advance and these are popular so the earlier the better.

Cedars of Lebanon State Park has a special surprise hidden in the forest. For a nice cozy retreat with your significant other, reserve the Ricketts Historic Cabin, which is located on its own tucked into the woods across from the playground and ballfield. This historic log cabin is a special place for a weekend getaway where you will feel like it is just the two of you because it is. Since the cabin just has one bed, it is perfect for a newlywed retreat, special event, or honeymoon. Built in the 1930s, the solid cabin has one room with a king-sized bed with bedding, a full kitchen with appliances, and a bathroom supplied with towels and linens. Sit out on the deck in the rocking chairs while you relax in the beauty and serenity of the park. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed, so you will have to leave your furbaby at home for this one.

Are you having a family reunion or wedding coming up? Maybe you have a scout troop or hunting group to plan for? The Cedars of Lebanon Cedar Forest Lodge can accommodate up to 80 people. There are two sleeping quarters, and each dormitory has 19 twin-sized bunk beds on each side, and there are shower rooms and restrooms right outside the dorms. You will need to supply bedding, linens, and towels.

The huge commercial kitchen has all stainless-steel appliances with a double oven, several refrigerators and freezers, and a middle island with commercial-grade cooking pots and utensils. There is a serving area as well as a dining hall with tables and chairs for over 80 guests. The meeting room has plenty of comfortable seating, a fireplace, and a television with cable. Outside you’ll find picnic tables, three BBQ pits, and an athletic field. Just across the road you can visit the Nature Center and Butterfly Garden or take a walk on one of the trails nearby. Reservations can be made up to 24 months in advance.
