Hi Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed our video! Thank you for helping us grow our channel and the RVBlogger Community. What's your favorite overnight RV parking locations? Please feel free to ask any questions or just tell us about yourselves. We want to get to know you and share our RV experiences.
Late to the party, I know. But here’s three other places to boondock that I have never been refused...
1) Denny’s restaurant
2) Kmart
3) McDonalds
In the case of Mc Donald’s I have even convinced the manager to “accidentally” leave the WiFi on all night long.
ALWAYS INFORM managers of your intended length of stay. More often than not I’ve gotten invites to stay overnight for multiple days in a row. This works especially well for women traveling alone.
Follow proper etiquette-
1 night only, no parties, no folding chairs, pick up your dog shit as soon as it hits the ground, and spend 10-20 bucks minimum per stay. This saves a ton of money and is especially well suited for solar powered rigs.
Thanks for the video! I’m an avid traveler, but travel in my car. I don’t feel safe in Walmart lots, but Cracker Barrel feels safe and a great place to get a meal. Hope they’re generous to car travelers as well!
Hi nevedalamb,
I'm not sure if they are or not...but I suggest you call ahead or introduce yourself to the manager before you park for the night.
Thanks for watching and commenting!

I would think that if you were parked in a parking spot and was asleep and not up they probably wouldn’t even noticed that you’re there
@@jesseriley7681 I’ve stayed at a handful of locations since posting this. All of them were fine with me sleeping in the car. The only slight issue was a small town where police knocked on my window, but he basically just asked if I’m traveling and was fine with me being there.
It's a fun adventure seeing you guys with the RV having fun seems nice
Thanks killer gamer!
Cracker Barrel corporate policy is to allow TWO night stays (where overnight parking is allowed) before management is allowed to take any action against guests. Also, Home Depots do not have any policy allowing overnight parking and are completely subject to local laws and ordinances.
Hi Nomad X,
I have never seen that policy in writing anywhere. Can you let me know where you found it?
Thanks for the info about Home Depot.
Mike
Thank you for this hip in staying at Cracker Barrel’s over nought. Not bad for free then eating there for dinner and breakfast. I would do that. I love Cracker Barrel. You made me hungry for Cracker Barrel. Lol! Thank you Mike and Susan!
Hahaha! We love Cracker Barrel! Usually we get breakfast or dinner but in this instance we splurged 😂 Thanks Sherri!
I used to meet my ex wife to pick up my children for the weekend at the Cracker Barrel in Madison Georgia and there were always rv’s in the side parking lot around six o’clock in the evening on Friday and sometimes I would see the same one there on Sunday at the same time dropping my children back off with their mother and it’s also a great place to grab a quick gift passing through town
Hey Jesse,
Bet it would be great to eat there breakfast lunch and dinner though LOL! We really like Cracker Barrels.

Motorhome owners forget that RVers with travel trailers do have to go outside in order to drive away from danger.

Love the food at Cracker Barrel especially the biscuits and hunny, and they have some of the Candy I used to love from the 80’s that’s kinda hard to find now
Hey Jesse,
Oh yes! What's your favorite meal from there?

Overnight parking not camping. I use the term “overnight parking” whenever I I find myself in an iffy situation. Managers are more likely to let you “park” than “camp”! Great video!
Yeah, staying overnight at CrackerBarrel or Walmart is definitely not camping. It's parking. You Park, You Sleep, You Leave. But at least at Cracker Barrel you get breakfast too!
Great video guys!! We love staying overnight at Cracker Barrel!
Hi Mike and Stephanie,

The retail store looks almost like the one I work @ minus the lights. We still have the lantern-type lighting fixtures in 220.

Awesome!!!

700 SUBSCRIBERS NOW? Holy crap these numbers are multiplying

The Cracker Barrel in Madison Georgia off of I20 has a large side parking lot I’ve seen rv’s parked out there may times at six o’clock in the evening
Hey Don,
We'll keep an eye out for campers that fit that criteria.

Its never necessary to drop the stabs, deploy the awning or pur out chairs.
Agree, but what are stabs? Thank you for watching our Cracker Barrel video and commenting.
@@RVBlogger
Stabilizer
@@Stanf954 gotcha! You are correct. Not necessary for just an overnight stay.
Glad you enjoyed it there!
Who doesn’t love Cracker Barrel? The food is awesome and instead of paying $50 to sleep in a campground and leave in the morning I can spend that money on something else. Like Breakfast!
Great Info!! Thank's
Thanks Cheryl!
It makes me happy to know I can provide some useful info out there!
Happy Travels and thanks for subscribing to our channel!

The Town of Scarborough, ME has a town wide ordinance that bans overnight parking. There is a Cabela's/Bass Pro Shops right off Exit 42 with a sign in their parking lot (on the side by the truck parking) NO OVERNIGHT PARKING.
Hi snowygirl131,
Good to know. This is why we mention calling ahead in the video because sometimes city or town ordinances prohibit overnight parking.

I wish CZcams allowed us to edit videos after we post them so we can revise and improve them...but this is not an option.

What about in a camper not an rv do they allow that I have a pull behind I wouldn’t discount and set up just to sleep and get back on the road
Hey Jeremy,
Yes you may stay the night at a cracker barrel with a pull behind trailer!
Thanks for watching and commenting!

RVBlogger no problem you guys explored way more of the beautiful world then I did 😆
We are fortunate to have visited a lot of really great locations all across the US, Canada, and Central America too!
Never had cracked barrel but everyone keeps telling me about olive gardens breadsticks. You ever went there?
Sure I've had breadsticks at Olive Garden...I wonder if I can park my RV overnight at an Olive Garden? I may have a new video to make!
Thank for sharing
Thanks Guys!
I’ve actually never thought about where RVs park overnight lmao
I never did either until I rented my first RV and then bought one! But since then I've become very interested in where to park overnight for FREE!
Do Walmart or cracker barrel have hookups for electricity for cpap and can I use a suv for overnight
Hey Mark,
No, they do not have any hookups for electricity.

For using CPAPs I got the 12 volt CPAP adapter that plugs into the 12v adapter in RV but I spliced in a 12v socket into a light next to bed. The best thing to have on a RV is having a solar panel on top to keep batteries charged. I say all RVs should have them. We can run 2 CPAPs all night on 2 12v batteries. Some people do use inverters to go from 12v to 110v to use their CPAPs but using a inverter draws more electricity from the batteries. I bought a small power pack for emergencies for my CPAP. & for tent camping. I did a test to see the difference in using 12v or 110v to run CPAP. I can run an extra night using 12v. One good thing about solar panels is that they keep your batteries charged & healthy even in the winter. I covered up the RV for the first time & covered up the solar panel. I put a smart trickle charger on batteries.
We have spent the night at a Cabela’s & used there free RV dump. We called them first & they said we could but at our own risk.
@@smileysun9212Can you share where you got the 12V adapter? Thanks!

Hi, any free overnight parking in Florida those (covid-19) days?
Hi Radu,
We aren't in FL so I don't really know...I do know the Keys are shut down.
You might have some luck on some of the RV facebook groups or you could ask the question on the RV forum called www.iRV2.com
Good luck and stay safe out there.
Mike
Any Planet Fitness is open 24 HRS
But why do store complain about people parking overnight?
I don't think the store complains about people parking overnight? Not sure what you mean?
Too bad I don’t live near a Cracker Barrel
The food is awesome!
Mine doesn’t
I was talking about the free parking
I gotcha
