We're planning our first trip to ride the KT in late September, camping most of the way from Clinton to St. Charles. What kind of "human traffic" can we expect during this time? Will finding an available camping spot be a problem?

Generally, the traffic is medium to light on the weekdays after school starts, except toward the east end (St Charles/St Louis) where the traffic is moderately heavier. You shouldn't have any trouble finding camping spots at that time. You might see a classroom or two of school kids on a nature hike somewhere along the trail. Of couse, the riders and hikers alike, like to see the October autumn colors about then, too.

You can sometimes go 20-40 miles on the katy without seeing anyone.

I'm nearly always surprised by how few people use the KATY trail.

You certainly will not be overwhelmed by other users in late September. In fact you will
probably feel pretty isolated at times.
