state park and federal park amenities
new to rving and getting ready to buy our first TT. Scouting out state and federal parks and 99% of rv spots I'm seeing only have electric? no water hookup? so I take it if you stay long enough you ...

When we do longer boondocking trips, our black tank is more of a concern than running out of water... and I shower every day in the camper (I'm a lady :)). My husband will only do it every 2-3 days unless we've been out on a ride and are muddy. We can go about a week with the two of us and never run out of water, black water starts to be a concern around that point though. I will say we have a toyhauler and they normally have larger tanks than a typical travel trailer.
Other things you can do to conserve water is stuff like use paper plates/plastic utensils so there's no dishes to wash, cook as much as you can outside on a firepit or grill so you aren't dirtying up too many cooking utensils too. Kids don't need to bathe every day. Brush your teeth outside using a bottle of water. Also, many of the campgrounds that do not have water at every site often will have bathroom facilities at least, and often showers too (bring quarters). Use those during the day and reserve your camper toilet for night time.
