Just an update, people seem to be missing the easy, open, and free camp area in davidsdale. There is the parking lot 1/4 mile west of the overpass, dont camp here. Turn and go away from the parking lot down the clear cut road, you will cross over a pedestrian bridge and go another 100 yards to a big open flat area that looks to have the grass cut. This shows on the map as a primitive camping area in the davidsdale brochure. On the Katy trail map here you are going to take road 457 north from the katy trail over salt creek and about 100 yards up. It's an easy quarter mile from the trail, halfway between rochefort and new Franklin. There is a creek here if you have a filter. No bathroom's, no power.
