Katy Roundhouse

Katy Roundhouse sits directly alongside the Katy Trail in New Franklin, Missouri, making it one of just two campgrounds that provide immediate trail access for cyclists and hikers. This privately managed facility features full hookups at most sites, with electric, water, and sewer connections available for RVs. All sites accommodate pull-through access, eliminating backing concerns for larger rigs.

Most sites benefit from tree coverage, though campers report the layout places sites close together. During quieter periods, visitors can spread out and claim additional space between their rigs. The campground sits within farm fields, creating an open setting where deer, rabbits, and various bird species move through regularly. Erik R. notes that "camping right alongside the Katy Trail is hard to find."

Shower and restroom facilities receive positive mentions from campers, though the overall property shows signs of needing maintenance updates. The location provides easy access to area state parks, conservation areas, and additional trail systems within a short driving distance. Campers seeking extended trail options can explore camping near New Franklin for additional overnight possibilities.

This campground works well for RV travelers prioritizing Katy Trail access and full hookups over extensive amenities or spacious site layouts.
