Get permission first. It is not up to you to decide. We closed all of our dump stations, they were too much a pain in the arse, but when we had public dumps, that was the ONLY place we allowed dumping. The RV sites were for the guests that paid to stay in the park. One of the big reasons was increased traffic. People pay good money to be in full hookup sites and it isn't right to subject them to people constantly dumping rigs in the sites around them. Using a site to dump just makes that another dump station, and most guests would frown upon being put in a site next to the dump station. In my opinion, if you want to use a full hookup site, rent one.
I would agree unless the park does not charge for the dump. Some parks have both FHU and W/E sites without sewer. If they do not charge the guests who stay in W/E sites to use the dump station then those guests should be able to use any available sewer connection. There is no reason to force them to the dump station. Why would those in the FHU sites frown on people dumping in the site next door? Would be the same as guests who rent that site and dump. Forcing guests to wait for access to the dump station is a poor decision when there are empty sites with sewer connections. SMH over this...
I guess we are just going to disagree about this. The people in the full hookup sites with on site sewers will have paid more for that full hookup site than the people in the water and electric only sites in almost all parks. Again the people that paid that premium for full service sites didn't pay to have a stream of people pulling into the sites around them dumping and flushing their tanks. If your stay in the water and electric site included use of the dump station, use the dump station. Otherwise get permission, first. Not forgiveness after the fact.
