Clearly, this is the best answer, with the most common sense applied! Just also be sure to check local regulations, to prevent creating problems for yourself, as well.

Following on another post, we've definitely seen grey water dump pits in Georgia.
People need to stop with the high-and-mighty, self-righteous attitude about dumping grey water. There is a big difference in slowly dispersing your grey water vs. just dumping it all at once.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH DUMPING GREY WATER ON THE GROUND!!!!!!!!!!
If you have a septic tank at home, you're essentially doing the same thing...its just a few feet below ground. Heck, some CG's are even on a septic system. I was at a facility in rural MI a few years ago where ALL sewage was pumped into an unlined pond...legally.
Respect is paramount if you're close enough that your neighbor might catch a little foul odor. The reason why some places prohibit this practice is because it would be difficult to make sure that some people don't have their black tank valves slightly opened, or that some people just don't have the common sense or courtesy to know the difference.
Its grey water! Little soapy, maybe some bacon grease, but mainly WATER. Your cup of urine in 30 gallons of water means very little. Yes, we know that all wild animals seek out the sanitary deposit location in their local forest before dropping their excrement. It is absolutely ridiculous that people see the need to cry and moan about this issue. For pete's sake, its CAMPING. I'd hate to know what you think about me if I chose to walk over the edge of the woods to take a leak. Yeah, you take your little furball mutt for a walk and let them pee wherever they want, but NOOOOOOOOOOO, not a person!
