I know camping on private property is like asking the Spinal Tap guitar player about his axe. Don't even look at it, don't think about it----but are there any spots that are private property between Pilot Grove and Rocheport, where they will let you camp for a small fee?

There used to be a campground at New Franklin...not sure if it is still open or not. When I
was looking for places to camp, I called the local chamber of commerce, or city hall or a trail
friendly business and just asked and was quite successful in finding places to camp. Folks
are usually happy to help out. I know in Hartsburg, the city park is available for camping.

Here's a list of all camping options along the trail: http://www.BikeKatyTrail.com/planner.aspx?chkCampground=on

Note that camping is available at the Katy Roundhouse this time of year, but restrooms and shower facilities are not. Bobber in Boonville caters to RVs but allows tents - you may want to call to see if they're open this time of year.
