Flying J's, cracker barrels, pilot all pretty much have small parking areas where rv's could park overnight (very small).
I've only stayed at one cracker barrel; they are mostly in congested areas so they don't appeal to us. Flying J/Pilot place their rv parking sections (small) in the busy areas so no go for us unless we were really desperate. I won't use any of them if I want a good nights sleep. Even walmart is better than these choices if you find an out of the way spot in their big parking lots.
Welcome centers are better than rest areas especially if they have separate rv areas (from trucks).

The Flying J we stayed at this trip (Jackson GA) had room for a few dozen RV's, it was well away from both the trucks and the car pumps. We left Cleveland at noon due to forces beyond our control and it made no sense to stop North of Atlanta and fight through city traffic the next day and all the communities on the south side of Atlanta have no overnight parking ordinances. Unless you wanted us pulling in next to you at 2am it was the best choice for our situation.
