Gray water dump
This will probably open a can of worms but who dumps gray water on the ground while camping when no hookups are available? Just curious. We have an outdoor cold water shower that we use during the sum...

As I mentioned in my post above, gray water can be used in some areas, but there are significant restrictions, including ones that outlaw indiscriminate dumping of many RV gray water tanks.
Below are two links. The first is to a PDF that outlines what is permitted and what is not in my home state, New Mexico. Note, among other things, that the law is designed so that more local restrictions can override it.
The second link below is a standard webpage that includes a chart comparing restrictions on gray water use across several of the states here in the southwest.

THE PDF even states Kitchen sink water is NOT considered gray water so you cannot legally dump RV "grey water" as it does not meet the New Mexico definition of grey water
