August 2018 - Just finished riding Katy from Machens to Boonville on a fully loaded tandem with extra wheel trailer without issue other than a mystery flat tire. Camped at the primitive Noren Access boat ramp sites. Be forewarned there is no potable water at the campsite area - get your water at the picnic pavilion on your way from the Katy. Pit toilets at the boat ramp were not clean and there are no doors - just a 90-degree turn from entrance doorway to toilet. Lots of foot traffic at the boat ramp and down the trail to the campsites. We stayed in the "red" site closest to the boat ramp and saw several young/mid-age men walking farther down the trail toward the "blue" and "white" sites. All that walked in also walked out before dark. Very noisy with bridge traffic, cicadas, and air traffic (helicopters). Campsite area was surprisingly clean, but we did have to remove a tick before he latched on. The campsite was what we needed when we needed it, but would not necessarily recommend for a lone cyclist.
