FYI, this Cracker Barrel is closed as of March 2023. The ones in Bend and Tualatin as well, all over the news.

Smaller lot and weird hours but it works for a night. Pretty quiet for being next to the off ramp. No knock no signs. Couple other vans as well

This cracker barrel has shortened hours- closes at 6 or 7 pm each night right now. But the parking lot was relatively quiet and we weren’t disturbed.

Good location. Came around 1am had no issues. In the morning I was able to use the hotel restroom with no problem. Area was loud bc of the highway and in the morning you will hear garbage trucks and more but still a good place to crash for the night

You should park close to Cracker Barrel, not near the Marriot. Not very much space for bigger rigs, just a few end-to-end car spaces.

Someone broke into my cab while I was asleep in the back. They took off as soon as they heard me speak up, must’ve expected the van was empty. Thankfully no damage or injury! But there is frequent cop presence here so wouldn’t say it’s super safe.

Slept for two nights in a row and no one bothered. Pretty quiet at night but highway traffic get very noisy in the morning around 5:30 am. Full Verizon LTE signal.

Open dumpster nearby. Pull out of the parking lot, turn right, and it’s just a few feet down on the left.

Had no issues. Pulled in around 9pm, no other campers. Freeway noise becomes white noise eventually. Hotel side of shared lot had signs up indicating “authorized” vehicles only. We stayed closer to the restaurant which did not have those signs posted. Had a yummy breakfast at Cracker Barrel then on our way.

Well lit parking then the lights are lowered I think around 10pm.
Yes freeway noise but that didn’t bother me. One other RV and a couple car campers were there.
I pulled in fairly late left early morning. There are lots of places to eat, grocery to walk to, fuel at Fred Meyer across the street 👍🏻

Slept here two nights in a row! The highway noise honestly wasn’t too bad for us, but I don’t know if that’s a unique experience. Nobody bothered us at all. Super calm spot.

A little loud due the highway being so close but overall not too bad. Rolled up late and left early. No one bothered us.

I called ahead and they were very welcoming, advised to park in the back of the lot near the hotel. Very safe vibes with minor highway noise.

Had a good night's sleep. No issues! Nobody bothered us. Not too loud.

Decent spot. Stayed two nights in a row on the highway side halfway between Cracker Barrel and the Mariott. There is a Planet Fitness nearby also. I even got to enjoy the Mariott's outdoor fireplace too which shuts off at about midnight. I noticed a van there both nights which must have sat there all day, I figured they took the train into Portland and left their van there.

nice paved parking lot between Cracker Barrel and the Marriott I stayed on the quieter side away from highway and slept really well, woke up to garbage truck early morning for about 15 minutes. First night saw no other rigs, 2nd night two others. No bother from anyone in area. Quick drive to downtown and ok area to run errands as near groceries etc

great American ashphault with an option for an iconicized commercialized and overly profitized American country meal nextdoor. while you're there pick up some nice American theme decor and knick knacks that the Chinese made for us. point is this is a safe place where you can chill and check in on society

Stayed here two nights while visiting Portland, it’s only a 15 min drive. We slept one night on the side towards the highway and one towards that small backroad, preferred the second one ;)

Wonderful place to stay. Noisy from the highway but nothing unmanageable. Stayed in the lot between the hotel and Cracker Barrel with zero issues.

Shared parking between the Mariott and the cracker barrel. Asked to the store manager and told me to sleep at the back of the lot. Nobody disturbed us. Noisy due to the highway, but okay with ear plugs. You can use the toilets of the store, and have brakefast there while you're at it!
