I want to walk from St. Charles to Herman on the trail and camp along the side of the trail. I have an alcohol stove and will not have a fire... just need to pop the tent and sleep the night. Can I do this? Hard to plan where I will stay because it depends on the weather and how many miles I walk that day. Trying to practice for the Appalachian trail.

From the FAQ:

Is camping allowed along the trail?

No, camping is not allowed along the trail. However, there are several private campgrounds, and public parks that allow camping.

You can click on 'Trip Planner' above, then select 'Camping', then select 'Build My List'.

This will give you a list of all the camping opportunities along the trail.

Brett Dufur's guidebook shows a few more locations for camping than this website. They are businesses and city parks, like MidSouth mentioned above. www.schoolhousebb.com .
