They're open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. all other nights. We would roll in at least in time to grab dinner. If you call in advance for permission, you could get there anytime you want as long as you're quiet (you could grab their breakfast in the morning). They have special parking for trailers and buses in the rear of the restaurant(very well lit). We never put our stabilizers down, but we would put out the slide. Usually we were just about the only ones in the parking area, but we always felt safe. We stayed at Cracker Barrels in Davenport, IA, Benton Harbor, MI and Lincoln, NE. When we'd call or go in to ask, management acted EAGER to have us!

What time does everyone normally pull in at the Cracker Barrels? I'm starting to like this option. And what have you been doing if they are closed? hogone

On our 7 week trip we stayed in Cracker Barrels three times and once at a Walmart. We were very careful about Walmart locations and always asked first at both Walmart and Cracker Barrel. We would never choose a Walmart if we were the only ones there. Loved the Cracker Barrel experience. The management was always great and welcomed us with open arms - we made sure we spent money at both establishments. We always felt safe.

As I mentioned earlier, they usually ask you to stay in a corner of their regular lot and not in one of the long truck slots. So you are right, but no reason to shy away. Just ask if you can stay in the unused corner, one of the advantages of us having relatively short rigs.

I would bring a tent to throw your gear bags into so you have more room.

I spoke with a manager at a Craker Barrel this summer in Maine and she said it was company policy to allow people to overnight in their parking lots. It has become my new favorite Parking place. I have also overnighted at truck stops. The only thing I am carfull about is if it is busey I don't stay. Trucks are their bread and butter so you don't want to take a parking spot that a trucker would need.
