Never done a Pilot, Flying J or Cracker Barrel, but have done a lot of Wal-Marts.
My typical arrival time when using a Wally-World is well after midnight, some even pushing 2am, and I'm there just to sleep 5 or 6 hours until morning and time to hit the road again. So to all those that say I should find a campground at that hour, I guess you'd like getting woken up TWICE when I pull in and then when I leave. It is also a rare camping establishment that is EZ-off/EZ-on to an Interstate highway too.
I do have the All-Stays Wal-Mart app on my phone, which is a super resource. Since I am a late arrival, the RV section at the stops I make are pretty well populated, the App telling me parking is OK and where to go, so I typically don't try to find management in the store after midnight. If I was there at 8pm I might. They have gotten plenty of business during my stays, with shopping for food, things I've forgotten to pack, or fun stuff the jumps out as I walk the aisles.
