Cracker Barrel

Traveling to Tucson we decided to stop here for an overnight to visit family close by, handful of RVers left plenty of room but like most Cracker barrel locations it sits right at the off ramp of a major highway, in this case i-10 and like most the stay here is almost unbearably noisy throughout the night and day. Once again we tried the food as well to patronize our gracious host for allowing overnight parking but once again better food and stay almost anywhere else. For us it's time to give up on CB unless there just is no other option, your mileage may vary.

The parking lot is right next to the highway so it's noisy. Where it's situated is a big plus, there's all sorts of stores here where you can easily restock whatever you might need.

Very nice staff.
Very noisy as is next to I-10 and freight train tracks.

I usually don’t mind freeway noise and am happy sleeping in rest areas. But dang, something about the acoustics of this spot does make it super loud. Grateful to have this option in a pinch, though.

Very easy to park, super nice people inside, and right off the interstate. It is noisy, but that’s what we expected being next to the 10. We slept with our fan app and it was just fine. Highly recommend for a quick sleep!

Stopped by here around 10:45pm for the night. Great location next to freeway and of course….Cracker Barrel.
Good spot to catch up on sleep and keep on going.
There were about 7 other RVs here as well all spread out. Little noisy from freeway but I would do it again.

Safe parking lot, 20+ campers, vans, and cars staying here. Right next to I-10 so it’s noisy with traffic but easy to find quick to get back on the road in the morning.

The Barrel has got it all, can’t beat it

When you are overnighting in a parking lot, you really shouldn’t expect a luxurious camping experience. So I will oh-so-briefly mention the super bright overhead lights and the proximity to the noisy freeway, then speak no more of these inconveniences.

We made a late decision to bank a couple evening driving hours before a long daytime haul from Chiricahua National Monument to Palm Springs. It was too late to make a reservation any place, so we rolled into the Cracker Barrel parking lot around 10:30pm. There were two empty spaces in the RV section, but one of them was unusable since the big rig in the adjoining space had put its slide out (grrrrrrr….).

And then… we went to sleep. The neighborhood was one of those liminal spaces you find near semi-urban highway exits, full of chain hotels and office parks—charmless but non-threatening. We woke early but rested, took the dog out to do his business (yes, we bagged and trashed it), and left.

When we were there in mid-April, there were only a handful of RVs and they were all in the designated RV section. But I understand from other reviews here that it is common to park across multiple car-sized spaces when the RV section is full. Doing so, you may even be able to find a spot that’s a bit darker and quieter. (Oops, I said I wouldn’t mention those negatives again…)

Of course we ate dinner. Food is always good along with service. However, this was my first stay. I will say I’m a bit concerned if this generosity will continue. There was a Class A with a tow vehicle that took up about 10 regular spots next to the RV section. And there was a side street where they could have parked instead of taking up so much space. I just my POV.
