Cracker Barrel #073 - Bradenton - I-75 Exit 220

I arrived around 5PM and went in to confirm that it was OK to spend the night. I was told to park in the lot across the street even though there were signs saying no overnight parking. We did go over there even though there were 4 RV’s on the edge of the main parking lot. Had a good meal and a nice night.

Faut utiliser le stationnement de surplus de l autre côté de la rue.  Plusieurs autre vans et motorisés.   Endroit très calme cet securitaire.  

I stayed last night, 10 pm - 7 am and had breakfast in the am. There are signs, I assume so they can move someone out if they have cause. There were two rvs, a couple vans, a mini van throughout the night and no one bothered anyone. Very quiet and no dreaded knocks in the night. I’m grateful for the respite. 

Stayed 1 night in the parking lot next to Cracker barrel. There were a bunch of RVs in the lot when we pulled up but there were signs saying no overnight parking. We risked it anyway and didnt have any issues, however I wouldn’t do it again if we planned better since the signs say not allowed. 

There is a separate parking area behind Cracker Barrel.  We asked the manager on duty.  They have had trouble with people overstaying.  We arrived at 4 pm, with two other campers there. Woke up to 14 of various sizes.  Would recommend large rigs arrive early.  Very comfortable with a great area to walk dogs….make sure you pick up after them

Signs all over the place.... No Over Overnight Parking / Tow Away Zone / Police Warning Signs... Again, the good guys are paying the price for the bad guys (abusers)... Pathetic!

Didn't ask, just presumed overnight was ok. Two other RV's were there but still lots of room. Parked alongside the pond. Nice overnight. We're signs of homeless tents but didn't see anybody. Only sign I saw was that the sheriff department monitors the site for squatters and abusers. Went in and ate. All was good. 

Called on November 26, 2023.  Overnight RV parking is no longer permitted due to too many RV owners staying longer than one night.

There is a parking lot just for RVs but signs all over state “no overnight parking “.  We continued to another Cracker Barrel that allows overnight and bought our dinners there instead.

We stayed for a few nights. Biggest Cracker Barrel parking lot we've been too. Everyone was friendly and it was quiet. 

I spent the last two nights there awesome slept good nobody bothered me not crowded food was good as always friendly service 👍

We parked our class B in the CB RV lot behind and across the street from CB. There is a pretty pond with lots of interesting birds and fowl. Loads of parking surrounding the CB with more rigs parked along the perimeter. Plenty of grass to walk the dogs. We had a leisurely dinner after a long day on the road. This is a great place to spend the night.

Setting havein breakfast looking at the huge rv parking lot 

The place is beautiful and quiet. A big parking lot behind de cracker. Ask to manager about the parking because it’s in another place. 

The nicest CB we stayed at. Was better than some RV park we pay to stay at. Big parking lot with a large pond with waterfowl. Very quiet. Stayed two nights and ate our breakfast there. Thank you Cracker Barrel. 

Great spot, would stay again! Asked inside if I could park overnight because there are “No Overnight Parking” signs, but the manager said it would be fine to stay. Told me to park in the overflow lot across the street that overlooks a small pond. Other overnighters there as well. Only issue was in the morning when a leather-clad gang of elderly bikers rolled up for a chit chat gathering and blocked me in my spot, despite having plenty of open areas in the lot. 

Update Dec 2022
Stayed again and it was still great. Quiet and flat and good Verizon. There are"No overnight parking/tow"  signs but there were several others here and the police drive through and never had a problem. 

We stayed here in Jan 2021 and had no problems.

This is an awesome spot! They have a separate parking lot behind the building for RVs and large vehicles. There is a big pond and lots of grass, with plenty of birds to feed :-). Super quiet and a very nice area. We will definitely be back. Just a note, we did see a beggars blanket and pillow by a tree and saw some in town but had no problems.  The area is nice.
Added some pictures of feeding the ducks as we were here again.  It's one of our favorite spots. make sure you bring an extra loaf of bread because the Ibis and the herons come over also.  

Called and received permission to park RV overnight.   Huge lot with separate parking for RV's across the street!!  Lunch special was great and the price was right.   Thank you CB.

We’ve stayed here in the past so I asked permission of the manager. Was told overnight parking is fine so long as we had either dinner or breakfast. We were wiped out so I told her we’d be in for breakfast for sure. She said fine and good night. 

Parking overnight is allowed if you go into store and give them name and number during store hours. We came over after being kicked out of the Walmart lot.
