I saw a few mentions in other posts about camping in town parks along the trail. Can anyone elaborate for me? Are there certain parks you can camp in and others not? What are the restrictions?

thanks!

I would like to know that as well? I am going to do the Katy in June 09.I found a book at www.pebblepublishing.com The complete Katy Trail Guide Book 9th Edition $24.00 I sent for it.
Maybe this will help you as well.

I have camped in town parks in Hartsburg and Herman, I also understand you can in Pilot Grove with advance notice.
Marthasville has a baseball park that allows camping.

Hope this helps

Trust me. I hiked the entire trail in 07, the Trail Guide was a very valuable tool for planning and packing. Like the cocommercial says: Don't leave home without it.
