Is there anybody out there that is familiar w/camping along the Katy Trail. I am interested in riding west from the Roachport access site? If so do you need permits or reservations and should you let any branch of the authorities know when and where you will be on the trail? Thanks for any informational response anyone may have in this reguard

It's against the law to camp just anywhere on the Katy Trail State Park itself. There are a few designated sites in conservation areas---Davisdale, Diana Bend, Hartsburg. There are some campgrounds where you can pay, and some towns will let you camp in their city park. Just check TOWNS AND SERVICES. Going west from Rocheport you can camp in Sedalia State Fairgrounds and Windsor City Park, to name a few. Keep in mind if you decide you are above the law and just flop down and go to sleep anywhere, you could conceivably get in trouble.
