9 RV/bus spots. Pretty short. My 24’ Class C and toad stuck out. So I parked along the back area. No one here all night!
First thing in the morning, I go to leave and one passenger vehicle parked 10’ in front of me. With all the open spaces around! Lucky I managed to get out.
Good food.

Report Check-In

Great place to overnight. 1-10 traffic can be somewhat loud but I’ve never had a problem at this location. Employees are very nice inside and told me to park in the back lot.

Report Check-In

Very spacious lot with designated rv/bus spots. We stayed 2 nights waiting on a package to arrive at a nearby ups store. Friendly staff, no issues. The location has constant traffic noise from I-10. Lighting is plentiful and unlike some have reported, no foot traffic or suspicious characters. The foods great also.

Was a little worried from the other reviews- but had a totally normal Cracker Barrel night here. No one bothered me. Very large parking lot, there were only two other campers there. Bad storms but that’s unrelated lol. Stay aware like always and keep your doors locked

Report Check-In

One of the nicest nights I’ve spent at a Cracker Barrel, even had someone come by to break into my van while I was in it. In broad daylight. Don’t park in back and leave your vehicle unattended here.

Report Check-In

No issues staying. Manager came out and said hi and we were welcome to stay. Obviously more to the previous story then was posted. 2 other vehicles there for the night. A bit loud from highway, but close to a nice neighborhood and park to walk the dog.

Report Check-In

I was paying my bill and the Manger was running the cashregitor so I ask if it was OK to stay. he was very nice and said it's OK. at 2:30 am 3 cops show up (they got a call. lol) I said I would move and I told them I had the ok from the Manger, the manager's name is Will, but they wanted my ID. I asked what crime I committed then I was put in handcuffs and locked in the back of there car. at least seven cops, six cars and two tow trucks. then the supervisor showed up and I asked him to explain Texas 3802 to them fine officers. failure to ID can only be charged after a lawful arrest. when I had gotten out of the car under the thread of violence the door locked. the supervisor released me from custody and I had no key to get into my vehicle. no shoes no shirt only my shorts 2:30 in the morning. these people are real thugs!!

Report Check-In

Cracker Barrel is right off the highway. Plenty of parking spaces for rv/bus or vans/suv/cars. Felt pretty safe here. Solid place to crash.

Report Check-In

I stayed the night in my SUV and had no issues, a couple campers and cars were here and they seemed fine as well, I also bought dinner to make up for staying. No issues on my end so I would say y'all are good to stay!

Report Check-In

RV parking was empty when I arrived. I went in and had something to eat and asked about parking overnight. The answer was “I don’t know about the rules but we have all those nice big spots so I guess so”. Interstate traffic is just far enough away to be like white noise. A good night’s sleep.

Report Check-In

Called ahead to make sure we were allowed to stay, because of the previous reviews. They do allow overnight parking and there’s plenty of spots in the back.

Report Check-In

Stayed here for 4 nights no problem. Rolled in at 10:30pm tonight to sleep and they were busily towing cars. Got out of there real quick.

Report Check-In

I don't know where the 'no overnight' report originated but that's not accurate.
A great stop, plenty of parking, TEN RV parking places and plenty of other parking 'to boot'. Big Rig with toad will likely want to parallel park in the very back consuming the 'normal' spaces (after, or late, hours) since the RV spaces are only about 40 feet long.

I-10 construction will cause Garmin GPS to have some fits after you exit the highway so you will need to keep focused, use common sense, and eyes open or you'll miss the entrance.

There are trees in all the right places to provide the much sought shade protection from the Texas heat. Parking places are level, although there is a bit of slant to the entire lot for water runoff (after all you're in the coastal area where it regularly rains). The 'natural' front-to-back angle of our 21ft van made it easy to park facing North and be quite level.

The position of the store, relative to I-10, makes for a quiet night. There is a nearby airport so we did 'hear' a couple planes after 10pm. Staff at this CB is just as friendly and helpful as are the vast majority of CB's.

Report Check-In

Called in advance and confirmed they still allow overnight parking. Several designated spots for Rvs. 1 other van and a suburb here overnight. Felt very safe.

Very quiet and plenty of space and shade if you arrive before dusk. Super quiet as well.

Behind a Cracker Barrel. There are other cars and campers parked here. You can definitely hear the road noise of the highway.
