Cracker Barrel | Informal Campsite

February 27th, 2024 by kkiel60

Normal CB. Highway noise dies down later in the evening. We were just unlucky being here on garbage day. The dumpsters were emptied at 5:30 am….
Otherwise, slept well through the night.
(We parked behind the restaurant and could capture the wifi with our sliding door open.)

***I’ve been traveling the US from AK to ME to NV to FL for the last two years in my class B. I try to avoid CB’s and Walmarts if possible unless it’s convenient. This CB had the most car dwellers/homeless of any CB’s I’ve stayed at. It’s obvious when people are living out of their sedan/truck/van/rv to get by and have little to no regard for their surroundings. There were a few vehicles that appeared to become “neighbors” - doors open, drinking and smoking together while using the nearby dumpsters to take a piss. I woke up in the AM to a gentleman and his dog sleeping under a sleeping bag in the stall next to me. The night before I witnessed a guy in a beater vehicle parked a couple spots next to me get into a high value vehicle parked next to him - they were only in the nice vehicle for less than a minute then both took off. Sketchy to say the least. I’m a 25 year Vet. I’m not skittish or nervous. I just like to be aware of my surroundings and this is what I observed.

The lot was pretty full so we ended up parked parallel to the interstate. Not recommended but a decent set of ear plugs fixes that. Thanks Cracker Barrel.

Standard Cracker Barrel. Got here late last night and stayed about 10-11 hours. Big parking lot, plenty of vans and rv’s overnight. Felt safe, no issues. Definitely the perfect place to spend the night before/after Kennedy Space Center

Huge parking lot, no problem parking our 21ft van in a single spot. About 10 other vans/rvs (launch reschedule).

Stayed multiple nights with rescheduled launches. No problems and saw other vehicles with the same thought!

Plenty of space for big rigs. Garbage cans scattered about. Grass for pets. Clean restrooms and breakfast ready first thing in the morning! Thanks CB!

We've found Cracker Barrel to be very safe and dependable. Actually came back and stayed a second night.

Parked at the back of the store to block highway noise. Some dude tried entering my car at 4am and kept trying to fiddle casually with my doors while trying to talk to me, the guy didn't look all there, but still kept trying to enter the car. Left in a hurry in my underwear and lost my magnetic window screen.
Be careful and lock your doors! Probably wouldnt have been bothered had I parked nearer to all the other rigs that were there that night. Finishing my night at the i95 reststop a bit north.

Good overnight with about 10 vehicles, mostly Class Bs. There is noise from I-95 but less intense if you park at the far side of the lot away drom the freeway. It gets quieter in the late evening.

Cracker Barrel. Very little noise. Good for a night on a pinch. Employees were very nice.

Called and they said it was fine to stay over night. Quite a few RVs and vans parked as well.
Near highway, nothing too crazy tho

As with all CB’s..
PRO: clean , well lighted, good food! Some RV’s over 24’ & longer taking up a few car parking spaces.. I hope this doesn’t get management in a sour mood! NO Traditional hash browns either!!!😡 damn pandemic still a nuisance!
CON: lots of I-95 traffic noise.. bring the ear plugs!🤪

Stayed here another two nights without issues. We've stayed at this location many times over the last year due to Space X continuously rescheduling their launches haha.

1/17 - Oh hey, Cracker Barrel. It’s me again. Thanks for being the real MVP.

Had dinner here & asked if I could stay the night, and they said no problem!
Little noisy from the highway, but it’s free! :-)
They have several patchy areas of grass for pets and also trash cans located around the parking lot. Several small cars were parked in the rv & bus spots. I parked in the back by the employee door, furthest from the front entrance & highway.

Quiet lot just off I95. Adjacent to Marriott and Hampton Inn. A few other vans and campers here too. Read online that they allow RVs and trucks to park.

stayed here for one night. very quiet, parked at the back of the lot. no one bothered at all. there were a few other cars and a trailer parked there as well. felt very safe.

Stayed here for two nights in a sprinter van with no problems. A few other rigs stayed both nights too. The Walmart 0.5 miles down the road has signs saying there is a city ordinance prohibiting camping in their lot so not sure how Cracker Barrel gets away with it.

Carpark of Cracker Barrel Restaurant. We asked and it was OK. Even have parks for RV’s
It is 20 km from Kennedy Space Centre so we stayed 2 nights. Some highway noise.
Reasonable priced meals in Restaurant
