Do you leave your hot water heater on when camping or on and off as needed?

How does everyone feel about dumping grey water on the ground? ......
Grey water can really stink, not so much from showers but from dishwashing. I have a fine mess screen on each of my drains to keep the grey water as clean as possible. I also frequently add bleach and periodically use a heavy bleach treatment to clean the tank. Even so the grey water can stink. I don't dump it on the ground anywhere near a campground or other people. There are often regulations that prohibit dumping grey water on the ground. In addition, a casual observer does not know what you are doing and may think you are dumping black water.
I have a 5 gallon bucket with a handle that serves as my trash can. When needed, I will fill the bucket with grey water and dump it in a designated area. Sometimes I needed to make 2-3 trips. It is a nuisance but helps keep the campground area clean.
