Stayed at Katy Roundhouse on Monday, August 17, 2009. Very nice for tent camping. Picnic table, fire ring at each site. Arrived after huge rain storm but ground had soaked up all the water and tent site was fine. Clean. Great shower house and bathroom. Given proximity to woods and wooded nature of site thought upon arrival there would be lots of bugs but fear ungrounded. Good spot. Recommended.

I recently rode the trail from Clinton to Hartsburg. I encountered a very unpleasant experience and would like to warn others. Between the Katy Roundhouse (which is west of New Franklin) and New Franklin, a dog ran up to me and bit my leg while I was riding my bike ON THE TRAIL. The dog lives at a house on the south side of the trail, about a couple hundred yards WEST of New Franklin. The house is a "brownish stain" color and is one story. Hopefully, this will help others to be on guard as they approach this section of the trail.

I stayed at the Katy Roundhouse last week and was very pleased. I'm new to tent camping -- I'd stayed at the Sedalia Fairgrounds the night before, but I didn't really know what to expect. My first impression was "why don't you guys put a sign on the trail side of your house?!?" I rode past it & all the way into New Franklin because I was looking for the sign as shown in the photo on this website. The house it pretty well anonymous from the trail side. That said, I did have a good stay -- the campground was litter-free and spacious with a wonderful shower/bath building -- it was clean and everything worked. I especially enjoyed the nice HOT shower! I like how the shower house has a numeric keypad lock -- seems secure. I talked with the owner, John, who was quite friendly & helpful. The cost is reasonable. Their restaurant is only open on w...

I see pictures of the turntable and the pit, but not a roundhouse, Has that been destroyed? It
sure would be nice to have the turtable restored. It would probably be very easy to move it,
allowing people to "be spun" as were steam locomotives back when steam was King.
