Bringing lots of water?

Kinda like the 5gal bucket idea best, if only for the ease of storing when empty or using them for other uses. Devise some sort of gravity refill system for unit tank.

If you're going to Padre Island National Seashore don't even think of dumping gray or heaven forbid black water on the ground or burying it!!

I can't imagine anyone would even consider it.

Buy some salt water soap, wash with salt water, final rinse with fresh.

Pardon me about the grey water .... Seriously I use mine in our drought stricken yard with no problems. No plants have died and the yard looks great.

On private property or your own yard you maybe free to do as you please however at a public CG there are specific rules and regulations for waste water.
Most do not allow dumping waste water on the ground.

I just went to recyclers that sold used 30 and 50 gallon food grade barrels and bought some.

I picked old peach flavoring syrup barrels, as there will be a tiny bit of lingering scent for a while from what was in it, even if its steam cleaned.

Then I made some cradles out of 4x4s and adding a couple valves to the bung plugs so I could fill it and then use it to gravity feed a small live well pump I'd modified to pump it up into the camper's onboard tank for using.

Maybe consider one of these for the fresh water, and empty 5 gallon buckets for the gray water.

Even on backcountry rafting trips, the rule is that you pack out that poop! Nobody wants to step in it, no matter how well you think you have buried it. Animals will excavate it and spread it around. Please, please, please...NO POOP BURYING IN PUBLIC CAMPGROUNDS,,!

I have been to several NATL FOREST areas where they allowed the dumping of GRAY WATER around the trees... They had posted signs to this as well...

I have even been to some campground where they had GRAY WATER dump area in each end of the camping spots roads. I don't know if these are tied into a sewer line or just seep into the ground. They always took all the gray water I would pour down them. I believe this one is at CLOUDLAND CANYON camp ground at Trenton GA exit on I59


Got to dig a hole for the POOP at NATL FOREST areas however or pour down the primitive deep vault bathroom setup they usually have in a central location somewhere close by...

My experiences at any rate...
