On long road trips it\u2019s not always possible to get to your campground in one day. Whether you planned to pull over at night or came upon unexpected traffic that lengthened your trip, RVers sometimes find themselves spending the night in parking lots or rest areas. And for decades, Cracker Barrel<\/a> has been a go-to overnight RV parking destination for travelers all over the US.<\/p>\n

Cracker Barrel offers free overnight RV parking. The only thing better than a place to stop and get some rest? Waking up to southern style breakfast and a warm cup of coffee just a few feet from your bed. Cracker Barrel is kind enough to offer some southern hospitality to RVers, so be sure to offer the business your respect in return. There are some simple things to think about before pulling into a Cracker Barrel, as well as a few things you should avoid doing.<\/p>\n

Picking a Cracker Barrel Location<\/h3>\n

When planning your drive from one campsite to another, look for a Cracker Barrel along the way that might make a good stopping point. Google and Apple Maps make it incredibly easy to find Cracker Barrel locations along your route. But, while most locations are okay with it, some Cracker Barrels don\u2019t allow RVers. AllStays, a popular app and website for RVers and truck drivers, has a great list of Cracker Barrel locations<\/a> in each state.<\/p>\n

Asking Permission to Park Overnight<\/h3>\n

Once you find the Cracker Barrel location you want to stay at, always call and ask! Some locations don\u2019t want RVs year-round, and some will depend on the day or the current store manager. Other than manager preferences, some cities don\u2019t allow parking overnight. In these cases, it\u2019s not up to the business, so make sure not to get upset with them! You should always call the location you plan to park overnight at and ask if it\u2019s okay to stay.<\/p>\n

Be Respectful of the Business and Your Surroundings<\/h3>\n

Cracker Barrel is kind enough to allow free overnight RV parking. RVers should repay this kindness by treating the business and their parking lot with respect. Make sure to leave room for other customers and don\u2019t block the traffic of other cars trying to get through. The last thing you want to do is impact their business! Stay quiet and always clean up everything before you leave. Never leave a mess behind when getting back on the highway. In fact, we recommend leaving the parking lot better than you found it!<\/p>\n

Stay Safe<\/h3>\n

Safety should be your number one concern when you are picking a place to park overnight. If you pull into a Cracker Barrel parking lot and don\u2019t feel safe, leave! There\u2019s bound to be a Walmart to try for overnight parking, or another Cracker Barrel a few miles up the highway. You can also purchase extra security features<\/a> for your RV for an added layer of protection, like a wireless security system or window and door locks.<\/p>\n

What NOT to Do at Cracker Barrel<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t Park in Front<\/h3>\n

Whether you plan to eat or not, it\u2019s best to show your respect by leaving room for other customers. Park your rig in the back of the parking lot. That way, there are tons of open spots up front for Cracker Barrel\u2019s other paying customers.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Overstay Your Welcome<\/h3>\n

Cracker Barrel doesn\u2019t have strict checkout times \u2013 they aren\u2019t a campground! You can sleep in late or leave first thing in the morning. Either way, it\u2019s important not to overstay your welcome. They offer free overnight RV parking. Once the sun comes up, it\u2019s time to get back on the road.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Get Too Comfortable<\/h3>\n

As we said before, Cracker Barrel is not a campground. If you can, it\u2019s best to leave your slides in and take up less space. We also recommend keeping generators off so there isn\u2019t unnecessary noise. And definitely don\u2019t set up a grill and some lawn chairs in the parking lot! Cracker Barrel is just for overnight RV parking, not for a full campground experience.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Forget Breakfast<\/h3>\n

An easy way to thank Cracker Barrel for its hospitality is by purchasing a delicious southern style breakfast before getting back on the road. This way, Cracker Barrel gets some business in thanks, and you get a hot cup of coffee to keep you awake. It\u2019s a win-win!<\/p>\n

Why Use Overnight Parking at Cracker Barrel<\/h2>\n

Overnight RV parking at Cracker Barrel is a great free way to stop and recharge before hitting the highway. Their kindness and hospitality gives RVers a chance to rest and ensures that everyone on the road is awake, alert and ready to drive. Plus, who doesn\u2019t want to roll out of bed and find a hot breakfast? As long as you treat Cracker Barrel locations with respect, you\u2019ll have a safe place to sleep every time you travel.<\/p>\n
