RV dump stations

I stopped at one RV park in Maine this summer and they wanted $20 just to dump.

not many people base their travel destinations on the bodily waste facilities

That is the first thing I check for:)

OK seriously, here is list from Calif DOT. I don't know if others in their system have been closed or not. But this what Cal DOT is available right now.

Here is a list of those for WA state:

WA Rest Area RV Dumps

I have even found some fuel stations to have free sewer dumps. Of course I always buy gas there if I use it. :)

If you're heading north out of CA you'll find Oregon is a bit tough. Truck stops, state parks and many large RV dealers have them. I don't know that I've ever seen one in a rest stop. In general, WA seems to have way more of them and there is better signage from the highways.

Many Camping World stores, Flying-J and so on have dump stations, often for a fee, Plus there is a smart phone app RV-Assistant as I recall that lists dump stations, Many (If not most) parks will let you dump for a fee, Usually 5-10 bucks. even if you are not staying there.

As for rest areas. Many states that had them (IE: GA where I'm stuck) have closed them due to vandals. I won't go into all the damage done, but Well, Frankly I find some of it hard to believe.. If, that is, i had not seen proof.

Many towns on Oregon have a public and free dump. Seems like often they sponsored by the Chamber and on main routes. We have travelled around most of Oregon and I have not had much problem finding places to dump for free.

Not sure about California, but all of the state parks I have been to in GA, FL, and SC had a dump station, except one that has sewer at every site. I think all will allow you to dump even (for a fee) even if you don't camp there. I often use the park just down the road from me, if I am ready to get home and don't want to dump as I leave park or camping location.

yes Oregon has done a way with a lot of dump stations. idiot people who don't know what a sewer hose is used for ruin it for the rest of us.

I know where to find two at rest areas in Kansas. US-54/400 just east of the Butler county line and US-169 between Coffeyville and Chanute.

I've not seen a dump station at rest areas on the Interstate system in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, or Texas. But that doesn't there are none, as I don't much travel the Interstates.

I find my dump stations at RV parks, campgrounds, and service stations. There is often a fee.
