When I was a kid, my parents got a travel trailer. They parked it seasonally at a primative campground that had only a single hand pump water supply for the entire campground, and absolutely NO dump station or sewage of any type. No running water, only a couple plugs for the entire campground for electricity. They had a pit toilet for the entire campground. We virtually lived there all Summer.
How did we kids wash? There were about 6 of us boys, about the same age, that ran wild in the campground all Summer. We were always into something mischievous. We never had a shower or bath of any type. Our bathtub was the river that ran through the campground. Swimming all the time! We'd also just jump in the rive with our cloths on and that's how they got washed. They'd air dry on our bodies as we wore them, then after dark we'd all go skinny dipping.
Those were the days! Never had a shower! Do kids really need a bathtub?

Looking at some of my mothers old photos, turns out she doesn't have a single photo of us boys with shirts on, no shoes, and cut-off blue jeans. As I remember back, I don't remember underware at all. I suppose we ran around like heathens or barbarians or something. I do remember running through the mud barefoot. No wonder there was no laundry! Wow! Those were the days!
