Clinton - Camping Question

Besides the Lester Foster's Music Park, which only allows camping during music festivals, are there really no other campsites near this trailhead?

I'm taking the train from STL to Sedalia, and then riding to Clinton that afternoon before "starting" the trail heading back the next morning. I'm planning on camping as much as possible, but can not find anything in Clinton.

Thanks for any info.

You might read the latest "Ride/Run/Hike-Report" on this site's home page by "Blue," 2nd part of Day-1. They camped in the ballfield near the Clinton trailhead..in one of the dugouts, I believe. Good riding.

CAMPING IS OK. MANY PEOPLE TAKE THE TRAIN AND ON THE WAY TO CLINTON STAY AT CRUCE'S CABOOSES IN CALHOUN. THEN GET AN EARLY START TO CLINTON THE NEXT DAY TO BEGIN THE JOURNEY.
