Dumping RV waste water on the ground is illegal in Montana state-wide!
Dumping RV waste water in the vault toilets in Forest Service campgrounds is against the campground rules. Those toilets have to be pumped out, and RV waste water would fill them too soon.
There usually are no dump stations in USFS campgrounds around the state. When the tanks get full, you have to go to the nearest town to find a dump site.
We learn water conservation at a young age.
Many USFS (and state) campgrounds have no garbage service. You are expected to take it home with you. It is often not advisable to try to use the first dumpster you see in the first town you arrive in. You could get arrested! For instance, the dumpster by the Post Office in Hungry Horse, Montana. Do not use it!
