I am going to be riding just two days over this next weekend and my group is trying to find the best place to camp for one night. We have literally no experience on the trail and figured we would drive to the campsite first and ride half a day out and then back. Camp for the night and then do the same going the other direction the next day. We are coming from the kc area and dont want to spend half a day in the car getting to the trail so we were considering starting in Sedalia. The farthest I think any of us would really want to go in the car would be boonville and that would be a stretch. For those who have camped out on this side of the state, what are some recommended sites? I have heard the state fairgrounds are not that nice (bathrooms are deplorable according to coworker). Any help would be appreciated.
