St. Charles County Klondike Park

I have bike-packed along the Katy and this is an excellent spot for an overnight(s) stay. It is a tough, but short, climb from the trail. You may have to walk up the hill - challenge made :-) . This is a St. Charles County Park and it is well maintained. They also have small cabins though pretty basic. Make sure to store your food securely overnight - the racoons are pretty thick and hungry at night. I have also done short bike-packing trips from Chesterfield and St. Charles for an overnight(s) stay. If you need it, grab food in Augusta or Defiance before arriving. There are no services in the park.

Did a 2 night tent camp with my family and it was awesome. We had a great time on the trails and near the Mighty Missouri River.

Campsites were great. Stayed at a walk-in site for a night and enjoyed it. Some sites are closer to the highway and cars flying down the road can make it hard to sleep but after midnight, they stopped. Trails are beautiful and perfect for families wanting to just come to a park for a day and hikers. Can’t go wrong for a 10$ a night campsite with restrooms and water available. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to camp!
