Hello. Sorry if this has been covered, but I can't find anything specific about this. Am
considering a solo trip in early November (starting on the 4th). I've read about how
unpredictable the weather is, and am prepared for that. But what I can't figure out is
whether or not I need to worry about campground and/or water supply closings this time of
year. Do I just have to contact each campground individually, or is there a certain time of
year that all of them close? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rob

From the DNR website: The state parks are open year-round. Generally, water is turned off in most of the campgrounds Nov. 1 and turned on again April 1. The electric is on year-round.

You should be able to get water at other places though even though you may have to buy it at Casey's, etc.

To my knowledge, most everything shuts down along the Katy after the Oktoberfest activities. I have heard in the past that people have had a difficult time with supplies, as many of the trailside businesses are closed.........so just make sure you're prepared in case. I'm actually soloing this coming weekend and I plan on dropping off some small food items and other things at a couple different places along the route (at hotels) just in case I run short or need anything last minute......might be a good idea for you since the season will be over. My thought is that I'd much rather spend a few bucks and drive half way across the state to drop off some supplies in the event of an emergency or food/water shortage.
