I am planning a bike trip up from Clinton with my family to overnight on a Friday night in the next few weeks (weather permitting). Will the campground be open? Is there a place to check in. I think we will roll in mid afternoon on Friday.
Thanks,
Jim

When we biked the trail last Sept. we were going to stop at the Fairgrounds to camp, but we never found the exit place. We finally decided that we must have missed it. It has to be before the bridge that goes over the highway, so if you get that far and haven't seen it, turn around and go back a little ways. I think it's kind of hidden by shrubs and trees. We would have been more diligent in trying to find it if it had been later, but it was only noon, so we figured we could go farther.

Yes, the camp ground will be open. It is best to call ahead, they will be glad to give you all the information you need.

You have to ride a short distance on Clarendon Rd.to the campground, not a major deal, but use caution, it can be a bit busy. Check out the map on the Sedalia Fairgrounds trailhead page.

Enjoy your trip!

Ditto to what Darrell said. I camped at the fairgrounds last Monday night and it worked out well. There were probably 50-100 spots (I'm not good at estimates :-), but only 3 RVs and 3 tents, counting my tent. I called ahead to the # on this website and a very helpful lady explained the whole process to me. The shower house was open and, although it was showing its age & didn't appear to have daily housekeeping, I had a nice hot shower (suggestion: bring flip-flops). There is supposed to be a nighttime security person who collects the fees, but he never stopped by.
