GOING TO DO THE TRAIL FROM CLINTON TO ST. CHARLES. ANYONE HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH PITCHING A TENT ALONG THE WAY? ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRIVATE CAMPING LOCATIONS?

Camping available in Clinton on the fairgrounds property next to the Clinton Community Center by the Katy Trailhead. In Sedalia, the State Fairgrounds campground is next to the National Guard Armory which is several hundred yards north of the Sedalia West exit. Cost $10.

Pitching a tent along the way is allowed at campgrounds along the trail. Stealth camping is prohibited, but there are plenty of campgrounds. Use the trip planner to find some nice places.

Just completed complete trail last week Clinton to Machens , Sedalia Fair Grounds, Katy Roundhouse in New Franklin, Steamboat Junction in Bluffton, and Klondike Park 2 miles west of Augusta all have great campgrounds and showers.

You can also camp at city parks in Pilot Grove and Boonville, need to check in at the local police department first, as these are not "regular" campgrounds.
