Dumping grey water was legal in US about 30 years ago, but "green" clicked in and I don't think any regular campground will allow it.
Here in California we are encouraged to dump household grey water into the garden.
It is easy on lot of houses with outside clean out for kitchen sink. You just open clean out, push a clog down the pipe and divert the overflow over your vegetables.
My father had it running for 30 years, but couple years ago with wet winter the moisture start attracting termites under the house.
The deal is that grey water has to flow immediately after the use.
If you catch it in the tank, in 2-3 hr bacteria start to grow and it become hazardous waste.
