WirelessTrips.com Campground Review: Nashville KOA - Nashville, Tennessee
Wi-Fi � Yes�but very spotty!
Cell phone access � Yes
We sure didn�t make it easy on the folks at the Nashville KOA. Richard checked in but forgot to tell them we were specifically interested in their wi-fi service. We parked and unpacked, even getting our outdoor lights hung up (ours look like little tiki torches) before pulling out the laptops. It was nice and breezy outside so we decided to work at the picnic table. However, once we turned them on, we realized we had an almost non-existent wi-fi signal, and certainly not enough to do any work. We were in spot I1.
I volunteered to walk to the office to ask if we could move to a different spot. The poor woman at the desk was giving directions to another Rver on the phone and it was obvious that they were within a mile and wanted her to stay on the phone ensure they arrived safely. She literally spent five minutes holding their hand by phone, and she did it with a smile. I�d have been pulling my hair out if it were me. (Incidentally, this place is VERY easy to find.)
She explained that the wi-fi service is new and that they only got it �a month or two ago.� She said most people can only get it from inside the building (there are plenty of tables and chairs). I asked her if we could move to a spot closer to the building. She found the closest available 30 amp spot and gave us the thumbs up. We moved the RV to K14 and, unfortunately, were once again in a dead zone. There was a huge metal building between us and the office. Richard pulled out his laptop and started walking around, waiting for a connection to be detected. He found one, right in front of the building, but two rows back (J8).
I walked back to the office and apologize profusely for being such a pain. That gal just kept on smilin� and told us it was fine to stay there.
The service worked pretty good (had a few burps) until this evening. We currently have no connection having lost it a couple of hours ago. Not sure why. It rained buckets all day, but it stopped raining before we lost the connection.
There�s a large, clean swimming pool here, a music hall (we could hear live music last night before the storms rolled in) and there are plenty of people here, but it doesn�t seem crowded because there are lots of trees and there�s plenty of space between camping areas. We haven�t heard of any organized activities here for the children, but Ali and Frank have made plenty of new friends already. Everyone we�ve met here, even other guests, has been extremely warm and friendly.
If you come here, walk out front to the Cock of the Walk restaurant. The catfish is delicious!
Four out of five marshmallows.
