I saw conflicting information on the website about this, a few comments said that there were primative sites near the katy trail spur, any help would be appreciated. I'm taking the amtrak and will have to ride to the trailhead at dusk and would like to know exactly where I'm sleeping that night!
Thanks!

I just took the train to Jefferson City two weeks arriving at 6:25pm and was able to ride back 12 miles to Hartsburg before dark and camp in the park which is about 100 ft from the trailhead it doesn't look like a park it looks like a small yard with a swing set, gazebo, and a picnic table and grille. You can leave a donation to the lions club across the street at Doty's in the morning when your having breakfast. Also you might want to try the Grand just around the corner for dinner after you set up camp.

J.Lynn if you are asking about camping at Jefferson City it is right across the bridge and instead of taking the spur to the trail make a left and go to the river. Traffic noise but decent place to camp. If you are going east on Katy would be no reason to go to Hartsburg. Turner shelter in Tebbetts would be just as easy to get to and you would be inside plus it is actually the way you would be going.
