Cracker Barrel #481 - St. Petersburg - I-275 Exit 26

Large RV parking in the back. 

Spent 1 night with no issues. this one felt a little sketchy then other cracker barrels ive stayed at. 

The parking lot is off to the side of Cracker Barrel, behind the hotel. We stayed for the evening, there does seem to be a few “resident rvs”. It didn’t feel unsafe just felt a bit different then other locations we have stayed at. 

Large parking lot that runs from CB to behind the hotel.  Lots of people sleeping in cars but plenty of RVs also.  Stayed the night and an uninterrupted quiet sleep.  Place was clean.  Recommended off in a bind.  Peace✌️ 

Très tranquille et sécuritaire pour

Got here 5ish. 3 other old vans...appeared to be homeless. Stuff piled all over lot. Sketchy cars pulling in and meeting up. Only if I'm in a jam again.

The RV parking seems to be hidden to the last review so I'm leaving this review.

The parking goes behind the Holiday Inn Express. There were about a dozen camping vans and small RVs. Plus two full size RVs. This looks like hotel parking at first glance. But have a drive back there. 

The right side, up against the fence has Cracker Barrel's "Friendly Reminder" signs. But most of the entire back lot appears to be overnight campers. 

They barely have a parking lot… extremely small area… 

Nice place to stop. If you're coming off the highway turn on 22nd St. N and turn into the Holliday Inn. Parking is in the rear. Be mindful that there are some low-hanging trees. 

We always appreciate that we can park at a CB hence the 5 stars. The back lot was overflowing with trucks, campers, and sketchy vehicles the night we were there. Looks like transient construction workers. Tricky to squeeze in, but otherwise safe and slept well. Not a lot of other options in the area. 

Stay 1 night early Sep 2021. Call CB and was told it is ok to park behind the hotel. Do see the CB RV parking sign in that parking lot. 3 RVs, including our class b. The class c next to us have the generator all night long, so super noisy. But still a nice place for a free night.

This is a great location right off RT 275. Rv location to park is shared with hotel back lot. Clean, we were the only RV that night, no noise to speak of at this location. Food was outstanding we had dinner when we arrived and blueberry pancakes in morning. All was warm and delicious. Outstanding ! 

There were no other rvs here until much later. It was a little creepy being all alone. Early on there were a lot of sirens but thankfully stopped. It was fine in the end though and we slept well. 

This is our second night here with several other rvs. There are all types here including  2 big class a’s.

Called both Cracker Barrel and Holiday Inn To confirm permission to park overnight. Both said yes - they share the same parking lot and was told by Holiday Inn that it  is at our own risk. And one night only. So let’s keep these wonderful Boondocking locations going by leaving no trace.  I plan to thank the managers of both locations when I arrive.

No real space for a standard RV unless you go park in the hotel's parking lot next door.  Previous poster details how that worked out, not well.

The Cracker Barrel 5.3 miles north has a lot more room. See it's listing for more info

Everything was fine until 8am when the manager of the Holiday Inn (next door where the staff at Cracker Barrel told us to park) told us we had 10 mins to leave.

Oui très bon endroits pour dodo 💤un soir en passant en arrière évidement et tranquille 

Parked at back, nice and quiet. 

Spoke to hostess, who said it is ok to stay in the back lot near hotel.

Very nice place , they do accept RV
