Clinton community center is about 100 yards diagonally from the traihead. Let them know that you ride the Katy, and they might just let you camp in the back. They always let and look after bikers' vehicles parking on their lot.

Seems I've read on this forum that trail users have camped in a dugout at the ball park there.

found my own answer, you can camp right at the community center

Here's where you can camp in Clinton. Go on the left side of the Clinton Community Center clear to the back. Turn left for about 100 feet, then a right through the gate onto the Fairgrounds property. Turn right and set your tent there. There is an aluminum patio covering with concrete floor nearby you can set your tent in. A gate further down will let you go into the back of the Community Center. The Community Center will let you shower but tell them you're on the Katy Trail. I camped at that site two years ago and Clinton has great people.
