I'll be doing the Katy next month with two others. Does anyone have any comments about camping at the Noren Access Campground? Good, bad, safe, keep on riding, etc?
Thanks

Jc Parks and Rec has closed the Noren Access campsites until further notice citing too many police calls to the area.

Well that is disappointing. I have removed it from the Jeff City listings and camping listings for now.
Thanks Jim for passing along the info!

The Park's & Rec people went out of their way not to use the word "homeless" when talking about the folks "camping " there. ??

The Turner Katy Trail Shelter/Hostel in Tebbetts is less than 12 miles away from this Jefferson City location so I always recommended that location for "indoor" camping. Plus, you can always call for "Happy Trails Katy-ring Service in Tebbetts" which is awesome food and super convenient. Dinner options in this area can be limited unless you bike into Jefferson City.
