Any 2009 comments about Coopers Landing? I have about six couples biking and want to camp in that area as it seems to be the only camp area on the trail and river. I want to make sure it has decent restrooms and showers for the woman. Some comments made it sound rather noisey at night. Any comments would be appreciated.

Cooper's Landing is a unique place. It is right on the river and the view and breeze is wonderful. The Tai food os great, so have some, but if you are looking for showers - not there. There is a port-a-potty, but that's about it. I think if you are there on the weekend it may be noisier. We stopped on our way through last Sept. and even though the Tai place wasn't officially open, she made us a great meal. The store was open and they have a nice selection of food and other things you might need. Everyone was very friendly, but it was kind of "dead" when we were there - which was a Monday afternoon. If you go to the Interactive Katy Trail you will be able to see wehre there are campgrounds wdith real restrooms.

Interesting. The website for Coopers landing says "A Restroom with shower and laundry are available inside the store during store hours. For your further convenience, there are 3 outdoor port-a-potties and water hydrants available 24 hours a day."
Is it possible Frog lady missed the shoewers in the store?

Unless it has changed in the last couple years, there is a shower. It is in the indoor bathroom in the store area.

I've camped there several times and used the shower. Noise was allowed until 10 (or 10:30?) and then it was quiet.

Good food and great views.
