Does anyone know about camping in green ridge being allowed or not and if tebbetts allows tents or if you have to stay in the housing ?

I've had folks tell me they got ahold of City Hall ahead of time and able to camp in the city park. Have a fun trip!

I have stayed at the Turner Shelter in Tebbetts several times. On a couple of those visits, a few people were camping just to the West of the building. I don't know if it's allowed, but no one sent them away. Maybe Jim from St. Thomas can weigh in on the subject?

Re Green Ridge, I don't remember any camping there, but Windsor to the West and Sedalia to the East have plenty of camping sites and amenities.

Sorry I didn't clarify I meant Green Ridge. Also since you're in Warrensburg maybe you know but you can camp at both Chilhowee and Leeton on the Rock Island and of course 2 places in Windsor.

How about Pilot Grove? Has anybody camped there lately that can give a report about conditions? Probably talking about a summer trip, but want to get some information ahead of time.

There is really no room to camp at the Turner Shelter in Tebbetts. We only own four feet or so out from the building on the west and north sides. This means you will have to trespass on our neighbors property to camp and he is not the shelter’s biggest fan. I know people sometimes camp there because we usually hear about it but it’s something we discourage. If you plan to camp I would suggest that you either do it at the city park in Mokane (6 miles East) or at the Noren river access in Jefferson City (13 or so miles west).
