Drought/Water Shortage

"The dump station is open". Recond it has water to flush the stinky slinky

Unless the campground you are paying for is San Simeon State Park. Alert as of today on the reservation website: "Attention: San Simeon State Park has been declared a Stage 3 Drought Emergency. In order to meet the park's basic water needs, San Simeon has been forced to take a number of drastic measures. The showers and water faucets in the campground have been shut off. Permanent flushing toilets are closed, and porta potties will be installed. CAMPERS NEED TO BRING WATER FOR CONSUMPTION. The Dump Station is open for the time being. Please check the website periodically for updates."

This is one of my favorite parks, so I notice it. Others may have similar problems. Check before arriving with an empty water tank.

That's about as incorrect a statement as it could be. Read more.

The rest of the (not quoted) statement was correct. The amount of water used while traveling through won't matter at all. Only issue you might run into is trying to fill your tank somewhere other than a campground you're paying for

You'll probably use way less water in your RV than you would if you rented some sort of vacation home here.

So far, most of our restrictions have to do with landscape irrigation, both public and private. Yards, road medians, etc. You might find that the private RV parks you choose are not as lushly landscaped as usual. Water might not be available in some public campgrounds or in some areas (Cambria/San Simeon) because their local water supply or wells are very low.

Agriculture and industry use 80% of California's water without any restrictions. Homeowner's use the rest and are restricted in their use??? The amount you use while in CA will be the "drop in the bucket" we hear about. Come and enjoy.

No. No. No matter how much conserving you do, it won't help CA's water problem.
