Cracker Barrel overnight camping

The CB lot, from google maps, looks small. Typical for most of the CB's I've seen.

WalMarts, Home Depots Lowes take your pick. Just check with mgr before parking for the night. Avoid churches on weekends due to services.....Dennis

Looking on RV Parky it would seem that Cracker Barrel does not allow over night parking but the Walmarts in the area do.

This App is really handy to have when traveling to places you have never been,to before.

We have stayed at several CBs here in the southeast. Some have enough parking to allow it, others don't. call the store, and ask.

We have overnighted at Cracker Barrels for years and continue to do so. Never had an issue. Usually arrive in time for a late dinner or after they are closed, have breakfast in the AM and hit the road.

Never use the RV/bus slots, they are two short. We park in the back along the edge of the lot so we can open the bedroom slide over grass. Have found a few that are too small, but that is the exception to the rule.

IMHO they tend to be in better areas than Walmarts and we are less noticeable.

Just stayed in CB, parked as Dennis MM described, no problems, but I always ask the manager before doing it.

Some Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's will let you stay overnight. We stopped at the Cabela's in Hamburg PA. They had an entire section of the parking lot just for RVs, including a dump station and picnic area.

We also stayed at a Bass Pro Shops in Kodak TN. I called the store ahead of time and asked about overnighting. They told me no problem.

Thanks for the info. This is a great site. I just downloaded the app to my phone

We ended up staying at a Cracker Barrel south of Nashville. I was getting too tired and we started seeing fog and deer after 1 am, not a good combination. The Cracker Barrel worked out very well. Quiet parking spot in the rear located a couple blocks off the interstate away from the traffic noise.

These parking lot stops, for the "wise guy" reply;), are just 6-7 hour breaks for some sleep and they are FREE! Great way to save money and get some rest while driving hard to our destination. The "dream" portion of the trip will be for this family of 6 from Minnesota to camp at St. Joe SP right off the ocean beach, watching the sunrises and sunsets, gathering shells and hopefully seeing some dolphins, before heading to Walt Disney World to camp at the Fort Wilderness resort. 5 years of planning, 2 years of saving, and a lot of vacation from my stressful yet rewarding Law Enforcement job. Yep, a dream trip for us!

Thanks for your service in law enforcement!
