@@Weretherussos That's interesting. I guess since there are more of them around the country, they changed their policy. But they were once sticklers for 2 hour maximum stay. I've been to Bucee's that had all but the perimeter parking spots full. Of course, the one by our house is not on the list for allowing overnight - they even have spots marked off for passenger vehicles only and blocks preventing larger vehicles from pulling through! It wasn't always like that. Y'all are such adventurers! Thanks for taking us along!

@Mischief Road Trip Adventures some of that is where the place is located. Sometimes there are city ordinances. It can also be because of how close it is to a metro area. The less the traffic, the less likely they'll care, it seems. Walmart and other places are the same throughout the country. The metro part matters because they tend to attract homeless people from within the city, not just passers through.

@grinnelljd Жыл бұрын
You are correct. The Buc-ees website, in their FAQs, specifically mentions that you can’t park and rest in their parking lot despite their being open 24 hrs. It’s probably hit or miss as to whether you get asked to leave or can spend the night undisturbed. Best policy is not to overnight in places you aren’t welcome.

I don't think the company has changed their general policy but each store is different and it doesn't hurt to ask. That said, we always advocate asking permission, even when the company policy does allow overnight parking.

@@Weretherussos I'm glad that you were able to, I always thought that even if they changed a nominal fee, Bucee's would make a killing. One only needs a safe place to sleep, plus like I said before we patronize the store, gas, food, knickknacks. Easily adds up after filling up.

I have been to the one south of Jacksonville for, the one in Warner Robbins Ga. The one in KY - around Berea wasn’t open last Feb when I was on 75.

Hilarious you two !!!! Gotta luv it. I want a Buckey Onsie too! Ok I've never heard of Buckies before. I am pretty sure there is zero Buckies in MT. Definitely none in our extreme NW county 65 miles from Canada with approx 20,000 people maybe. Our pop's dropped with the last census. Just bought my first ever Class B+ 22 years old. Low 40K but added another 550 to bring her home. I was thinking you could move your head to the other side of the bed so his feet is nearer the loo than his head. Anyway I was willing to stay in a Costco or Walmart lot but my friend who was traveling with me her husband got in her head and so in the end we got a motel room cause we don't like driving at night. For me it's a vision thing. Anyway just enjoyed your entertaining real life on the road clip here today. Thank you for sharing...but I want a Onesie too. How is One see spelled? Gotta go check that out. If ever traveling through Libby MT we've got a small acreage and you are welcome to snooze or use as a base camp....we're only 120 miles to Glacier Park. And we are closer to the Pacific Coast at 7.5 miles than we are to Yellowstone Park. Go figure...MT is Big just not big enough population wise to have a BUCKIES.
