RV Rentals CMA Fest

Downtown Nashville, Nashville, TN, US

Nashville sits at the crossroads of several major interstates, making it easy to reach by RV from nearly any direction. I-40 runs east-west through the city, I-65 connects it to Louisville to the north and Birmingham to the south, and I-24 offers a route in from the southeast. From any direction, follow signs toward downtown Nashville, then head to the Music Valley area on Briley Parkway, where the Nashville KOA Resort at 2626 Music Valley Drive is the most popular RV base for CMA Fest attendees. The KOA operates a daily shuttle to downtown Nashville, dropping you close to the festival stages and letting your rig stay safely parked while you enjoy the music. If you prefer to park closer to Nissan Stadium, reserve a spot in advance through SpotHero at the Nashville Music City Center parking page, as downtown parking fills fast during CMA Fest week.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV for CMA Fest

When does CMA Fest take place and how long is it?

CMA Fest runs for four full days and four nights in early June, transforming downtown Nashville into the world's biggest country music celebration. The festival has taken place every year since 1972, when it launched as Fan Fair, making it one of the longest-running country music events in history. Each day brings a packed schedule, with daytime stages running along the riverfront and nightly headliner concerts closing out each evening at Nissan Stadium. Exact dates for each year are announced on the official CMA Fest website in the months leading up to the event, so sign up for email updates or follow the CMA Connect App to be first in line when dates drop.

How do I get passes for CMA Fest and what options are available?

CMA Fest offers several pass options to fit different budgets and interests. The Four-Night Stadium Pass is the full experience, covering every nightly headliner concert at Nissan Stadium plus admission to Fan Fair X at Music City Center. Single-night stadium passes are also available if you only want select evenings, and standalone Fan Fair X day passes let you access the indoor fan experience independently. All passes are mobile-only, so your phone is your entry at every gate. Purchase through the official CMA Fest website, and watch for early availability in the months before the festival, as the Four-Night Pass tends to sell out well in advance. Children age 2 and under attend Fan Fair X for free.

What are my parking and transportation options for CMA Fest?

Getting around CMA Fest is easiest when you plan around the downtown parking crunch. Large RV rigs are not practical in the urban core, so the smartest move is to base your rig at a nearby campground and use a shuttle or rideshare. The Nashville KOA Resort on Music Valley Drive runs an hourly shuttle to downtown for a small fee per person, dropping you near the festival stages. If you need to park a personal vehicle closer to Nissan Stadium, SpotHero lets you reserve a spot at the Nashville Music City Center in advance. You can also walk directly to the stadium across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, Woodland Street Bridge, or Korean Veterans Boulevard Bridge. WeGo public transit is another reliable and affordable option for getting into the festival footprint.

What happens at CMA Fest and what is the atmosphere like?

CMA Fest is four days and four nights of non-stop country music spread across multiple stages and venues in downtown Nashville. Daytime means free outdoor stages along the Cumberland River, including the Chevy Riverfront Stage and Dr Pepper Amp Stage, where up-and-coming and established artists perform back-to-back sets. Fan Alley on First Avenue runs alongside the riverfront stages with activities and scenic views of the Cumberland. Fan Fair X inside the air-conditioned Music City Center offers artist meet-and-greets on a first-come, first-served basis, acoustic performances on two indoor stages, merchandise, food, and interactive fan experiences across 173,000 square feet of space. Each evening, the action shifts to Nissan Stadium for massive headliner concerts that cap off every day in style.

What should I pack for CMA Fest?

Nashville in early June is warm and often humid, with daytime highs typically in the mid-to-upper 80s Fahrenheit and plenty of sunshine. Afternoon thunderstorms can roll in quickly, so a lightweight rain poncho is a must alongside sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. Comfortable walking shoes are essential since the CMA Fest footprint covers more than two square miles of downtown. All venues require a clear bag no larger than 12 x 12 x 6 inches, with a small clutch or wallet up to 4.5 x 6.5 inches also allowed. A refillable water bottle is a smart addition, as free hydration stations are set up throughout the festival. Having an RV at your campsite means you can leave extra gear and a change of clothes nearby rather than hauling everything through the gates.

Is CMA Fest family friendly and are children welcome?

CMA Fest is a family-friendly event and children of all ages are welcome throughout the festival. Children age 2 and under attend Fan Fair X for free, making it a great introduction to live country music for the little ones. The free outdoor daytime stages along the Cumberland River and Fan Alley activities give families plenty of ways to enjoy the festival without navigating a packed stadium. An RV makes family attendance far easier: kids nap on their own schedule, you have your own bathroom for quick changes, and the drive back to the campsite is far more relaxed than a hotel lobby at the end of a long day. For specific age policies or accommodation requests, the CMA Fest FAQ page on the official website has full details.

What food and drink options are available at CMA Fest?

Food and beverages are available at every CMA Fest stage and venue, from concession stands inside Nissan Stadium to outdoor food vendors using compostable serviceware around the riverfront stages. All vendors and locations are cashless, so load up a credit or debit card or set up Apple Pay or Google Pay on your phone before arriving. Outside food and beverages are not permitted inside festival venues, but your RV at the campground is the perfect place to prep a real meal, store cold drinks, and recharge between sets without spending on every snack. Free water refill stations are placed throughout the festival grounds. Downtown Nashville also has a huge variety of restaurants, food trucks, and bars within easy walking distance of the outdoor stages for meals outside festival hours.

Are all types of RVs welcome near CMA Fest?

CMA Fest does not operate on-site RV camping within the festival footprint, so most attendees base their rig at a nearby campground and shuttle in. The Nashville KOA Resort on Music Valley Drive, the closest full-service RV campground to the festival, accommodates RVs up to 102 feet long with full hookups, meaning Class A motorhomes, Class C motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and smaller Class B campervans are all welcome. Downtown Nashville streets are manageable in a tow vehicle once you unhitch your trailer at camp, but large Class A rigs are best left at the campground. The festival itself imposes no RV class or size restrictions: your choice comes down to campground rules and your comfort level navigating an urban area.

Where can I camp in an RV during CMA Fest?

The Nashville KOA Resort at 2626 Music Valley Drive is the top RV destination for CMA Fest attendees, sitting just a few miles from the festival footprint along the Cumberland River. The resort offers 389 sites with full hookups including 30/50-amp power, water, sewer, and Wi-Fi, plus a heated pool, on-site cafe, dog park, and live music most evenings. The KOA runs a daily shuttle service to downtown Nashville, making it easy to reach the riverfront stages and Nissan Stadium without navigating festival traffic in your rig. Several other campgrounds and state parks in the greater Nashville area offer additional options if the KOA is full, so book as early as possible since CMA Fest week fills campgrounds across the region.

What lodging options are near CMA Fest besides camping?

Downtown Nashville hotels sell out months in advance for CMA Fest week, with rates climbing steeply as the festival approaches. The Music Valley area along Briley Parkway offers a handful of hotels and motels within a short drive of both the festival footprint and the Nashville KOA, giving non-campers a suburban alternative to downtown pricing. For RV renters, a campsite at the Nashville KOA often delivers the best overall value: full hookups, a heated pool, and shuttle access to downtown for a fraction of peak-season hotel rates, especially when the cost is split among a group. Airbnb and vacation rentals in neighborhoods like East Nashville and Midtown are popular for larger groups who prefer a house or apartment as their festival base.

Is CMA Fest accessible for attendees with disabilities?

CMA Fest is fully ADA-accessible across all its venues. Nissan Stadium offers accessible seating on every level, along with accessible ticket windows, concessions, restrooms, elevators, ramps, and assistance windows throughout the building. During the event, Fan Services staff in red polo shirts are stationed throughout Nissan Stadium to assist attendees when needed.

What should I know as a first-time CMA Fest attendee with an RV?

First-timers at CMA Fest are in for a sensory overload in the best way, and having an RV as your base makes the whole experience far more comfortable. Set up your rig at the Nashville KOA the day before the festival starts so you can rest, restock, and shuttle downtown without rushing on opening day. Download the CMA Connect App before you arrive: it holds your mobile passes, stage schedules, festival maps, and real-time push alerts for meet-and-greet lines and pop-up artist appearances. Arrive early to Fan Fair X each morning if you want a spot in any meet-and-greet line, since all lines are first-come, first-served. Pack light in your clear bag, keep the heavy gear in the RV, and use your campsite kitchen each morning for a proper breakfast before a long day on your feet.

What are the key rules and prohibited items at CMA Fest?

All CMA Fest venues enforce a strict clear bag policy: bags must be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and no larger than 12 x 12 x 6 inches, with a small clutch or wallet up to 4.5 x 6.5 inches also permitted. All vendors and concession stands are cashless, so set up mobile pay or bring a card. Prohibited items include outside food and beverages, cameras with detachable lenses, selfie sticks, chairs, coolers, drones, firearms, flags, umbrellas, and inflatables. Scooters, bikes, skateboards, and hoverboards are also not allowed anywhere in the festival footprint. The festival's Decide to Ride campaign encourages rideshare over driving at the end of the night, and having your RV at the campground means you always have a safe and comfortable base waiting for you.
