Cracker Barrel

We rolled into Albuquerque at nine pm after a 500 mile day and our Harvest Host location wasn't a fit. Called Cracker Barrel and they said come on in. Back parking lot had five or six various vehicles but plenty of room. A little road noise to be expected but we felt safe and secure. My husband ordered a meal and we picked it up before the restaurant closed. Thanks Cracker Barrel!

It was fine for an unplanned stay, but the nearby intersections were busy and loud all night. Seemed pretty safe, though. Well lit lot and we have a toy hauler open platform with bikes that didn’t seem to get messed with.

I pulled in at 8 pm and there were already 4 vans here plus at least 4 larger RVs, with I’m guessing more to roll in. I called ahead and they were very welcoming and nice. Definitely can hear the road noise but it’s generally off in the distance and I’m guess will fade as it gets later even though it is Saturday night. Obviously it’s a parking lot so no views but I’m getting 4 bars of Verizon. Even though Albuquerque is supposed to be 5G I’m not getting that here but strong signal inside the van (and I do not have a booster). Will try to update later.

This was a Friday night. We arrived about 4:30. We were the only ones until about 7pm. A couple of 5th Wheels showed up. We all had plenty of room.
Until about 10pm it was so noisy with cars and motorcycles racing the streets we could hardly hear each other.
About 10 it did quiet down and we slept pretty good.

After an extreme day we wound up here at 2:00 am! There were several other campers. We did not notice any noise, probably being crazy tired. :) Stayed till 11:00 no problem.

There are always pros and cons. Most cons at CBs are unlevel and in busy areas / street lights. This was the same.

We have definitely stayed at quieter CBs in our time but free is free and we needed something with easy on off. There are three spots and that would be tight to fit 3 rigs. Most RVs just parked along the back in the big empty lot just fine.

The CB itself had pretty poor service in the dozen we have stayed at but the food was good.

Good level & spacious parking. Felt safe with other campers. Enjoyed restaurant. Easy to locate. One Saturday night some folks nearby shot off fireworks for 1/2 hour. Motorcycles riding nearby were noisy. Yet it all quieted down & was fine. Nice “Ice 4 Less” available 2 blocks away on Sequoia. And while you’re there the Donut Mart has good selections and drinks with amazing customer service. (Coors & Sequoia.) I really appreciated the hospitality from Cracker Barrel (at Redlands & Coors.)

Level lot, a fair amount of company in other RVs. Some loud cars. Felt safe.

While people who park here overnight are generally considerably more quiet and respectful than those in the other Albuquerque Cracker Barrel, this location has far more noise from physically inadequate drivers, who seem compelled to make up for their inadequacies with very, very loud cars. They rev, they race, they circle, they drive very fast within a few inches of your parked RV. On balance, this is a better location than the other one, but not by much.

We got there right before dark and there was plenty of room left. We had no trouble getting into the lot, but we were really rocking on our way out the other side! We didn't have any problems with noise, however, we sleep with a noise machine running, so might not have noticed. Would definitely stay here again.
