I just called a phone number given in the 8th addition of the "Katy Trail Guidebook" and got a no longer working number recording. The number was 660-530-5600 and it was for the Missouri State Fairgrounds. Had questions about camping on Thurs.Sept. 27th for 7 to 10 people. Would need electric and water. Do they allow animals, we might have one dog. We would be staying one night. We are riding the trail from Clinton to St. Charles and going to follow the camping suggestion of John James at Katy Roundhouse Campground that is in the trail guide book. Would appreciate a correct phone mumber and any experiences had at the fairgrounds camping. Thanks

If you stay at the Katy Roundhouse Campground, be sure to get the combination to the Restroom/Showerhouse ahead of time. I haven't been there in quite some time, but the sign at the self-pay station said they stopped by daily. I paid and never got use of the shower. Nobody ever showed up. This was a weekday in July a few years ago and I was the only one there. I assume they probably still have the combo deal on the lock.

The katy roundhouse shower has always been ice cold when I tried to use it.

It was also very busy so Im sure there is a water heater but it just cant keep up.

I also remember the sound of someone beating on the bathroom door (it has an electric lock)
so I opened it for them. Turns out I opened it right into the face of a toddler!!!!

He cried and cried and I still feel terrible about it to this day and that was a couple years ago.
