Dry Camping and Travel Tips with Levi: Episode 4

Share This Post!

Levi and I visit one of our favorite and tastiest rest stops in Episode 4, Cracker Barrel. These restaurants are popular stops for RVers since they are usually located right off of major routes and offer RV specific parking. We always call the restaurant beforehand to make sure overnight parking is permitted and arrive later in the evening.  We’ll either eat dinner or breakfast there, depending on how late we arrive.  Comfort food is quite nice on long road trips.

If you missed Episode 1 and Episode 2, and Episode 3, don’t forget to check those out to help optimize your RV travels!

Overnight dry camping is often free and offered at a number of venues.  See our list of “Top 5 Free Overnight Parking Options for RVers.

Our main source when planning journeys between work camping gigs is Allstays.  We’ve mentioned Allstays a number of times in previous posts but cannot say enough about the website and app.  Allstays is our go-to guide for RV travel.  Not only does Allstays pinpoint campgrounds around the nation, it also locates overnight stops at businesses like truck stops, big box stores, restaurants, and more! Reviews from previous patrons are encouraged and  included with information on the given location. Often times, we’ve used these reviews when determining the best place to park.

In addition to RV parks and campgrounds,  Allstays has a few more added bonuses. With bridge heights and road grades clearly labeled, we are able to safely plan our route.  Allstays also mentions businesses that dispense propane and dumping facilities.  All of this and so many more service listings for an annual fee of  about  $30!  Levi has created a few tutorials detailing the many functions of  Allstays and how to use Google Maps in conjunction with Allstays when planning your next journey. An updated tutorial (2018) can be viewed here.
