This is my second night at this location. Several campers and vans both nights. Not too noisy. We were able to get a good nights sleep. Thanks Cracker Barrel!

Typical nights stay. several vehicles loudly drove by on the road to the south over the course of the night but not a big deal.

Good spot for a night. Not the usual set up with an RV section, but it's okay to stay. There were two other RV/vans. 5 bars AT&T

I slept here one night. I felt safe and was thankful to have a spot to spend the night in the city, but Jesus was it loud. Sirens all night, trains and the garbage truck at 4 in the morning. I can’t really claim to have expected a silent night though so I still view this spot positively. Thanks Cracker Barrel

Not a large parking lot, but worked fine for an overnight in our Sprinter. One other van in the parking lot overnight.

Cracker Barrels are always the best. Great food, chill back-lot overnights. What else can one ask for?

Lots of shoppers on weekend. Parked across at the PC Mall and Starbucks until it quieted down more. Quiet night and few other van and campers around. Smaller parking lot bit lots of big stores-- Burlington, Hobby Lobby, and Target kitty corner.

Slept here with a couple of other vans and trailers. No oversized parking spots, but those who needed more space just parked sideways. Very quiet once everything closed up; very busy shopping plaza otherwise.

Nice big parking lot, there were several other vans, trailers and motorhomes. we stayed one night.

Smaller parking area behind the building. Stayed one night with several other campers nearby.

Definitely not the quietest cracker barrel. Garbage truck came at 4 am, you could hear it unloading bins from all the businesses for about 45 mins. Then as stated you could hear the train horn very often from 4 am onward only a few blocks away. But it works in a pinch when there are not many options in the town. There was 11+ of us this nice plus a couple car campers so I moved closed to the strip mall (opens at nine) before cracker barrel opened (7 am) so we didn't crowd out the cracker barrel customers.

The address is not correct, it's on E 23rd Street. We slept in our rooftent on the back of the restaurant until 8am, it was good. We were the only ones there overnight and had no issues. Quiet night, you hear the road but it's not too bad. We felt safe as well.

stayed for one night in my nissan nv200
there was 1 other van there. pulled in late, left early.
no issues, it was noisy(trains, other vehicles) as others say, but i slept peacefully.

Typical, good Crackers Barrel spot. Did hear trains in the distance overnight. Didn't see marked RV sites for big rigs. But right next to large strip mall parking lot with room for big rigs.

Called and manager said, YES I can park in the back of the store. The first night, I parked in their lot with 5 others. It was a bit noisy until around 10 pm. then it was quiet until 7 am. Slept well. The next day, I parked in the Hobby Lobby parking lot, Just behind the Cracker Barrel (20 feet away). There were 3 campers at the Cracker Barrel and two of us at the Hobby Lobby. Noise the same at night, but woke around 4 to the sound of a train horn. Fell back asleep after that, slept well until 7 am. If you park near the Dukin Donuts you can hop on their guest Wifi. Both nights I felt safe despite the busy locale. To me it seemed safer and cleaner than the Walmart down the street, which I saw people parked as I passed by in the am.

Not a terrible place to stay one night. Felt safe and surrounded by other campers. Very loud though, with sirens at night and a trash truck in the early morning to wake you up.

Had an early dinner inside and then went to bed super early in hopes to get on the road… early.
Stayed in a 20’ Sprinter without issue.
As others had mentioned, there is a garbage truck that came by at 0418 on a Monday. I was woken up by it even though I parked furthest away and also had ear plugs in. After it leaves CB, you can hear it servicing nearby business’ for quite a while.
I also heard the sound of a train horn at 0459 but was up and moving so not sure if earplugs would have drowned it out.
Aside from that had a great sleep… Garmin says 8hr37min with a 91/100 sleep score.
Thank you CB!

Typical, welcoming Cracker Barrel for a one nighter. Not a large rear parking lot, especially for big rigs. Surrounded by all the box stores and restaurants. Despite other reviews, it was not a loud place, even in our 1500 pro-master. Thank you, CB for a safe place to stop.

typical Cracker Barrrel but more noisy than most. garbage truck arrived at 2, extremely noisy and lots of traffic noise.

May 27th, 2021 by mitatacc3

We slept nicely except for the trash truck working at 3am.

Not my favorite spot beings it’s located in an even more dilapidated part of the city, but it felt safe. I stayed Sunday into Monday and around 4AM the local trash company arrived and I thought the sky was falling. I recommend sleeping as far away from the dumpsters as you can always. No other issues.

Overnight parking allowed. They don’t have long RV spots but we are just a truck camper. There were also 3 vans overnight as well

January 22nd, 2021 by adriarollman

RV Camping behind the restaurant, the parking spots aren't really long like they are at other Cracker Barrels but RVers are welcome to stay.
