The problem with dumping grey water on site in a RV campground, is that you are in an RV campground! As others have said, what if everyone just dumped their grey water? I guess it would be a good safety measure for the kids, having all that nice soft, soapy, wet ground to run around on...
Grey water dumping at forest campsites, wilderness sites, BLM land, etc is different when basic guidelines are followed - as little as possible, away from actual site, whatever else is required by management.
It is NOT wonderful pulling into a campsite that has a nice, big, soft, soapy wet spot in the middle of it.
Friends of ours had a popup and used a 5 gallon bucket under the sink drain. Simple enough to bring it to the dump station or even just the dish washing station at the bathroom building. Yes, many (actually, most) of the campgrounds we've been to have dish washing stations setup at the bathroom buildings. I also emptied their bucket a couple times into my TT's toilet to help out. It is not a big deal for popups (or tenters, or RV'ers) to take care of their own grey water.
Again, it comes down to usage. A place like a RV campground that is busy all summer long can't have campers just dumping where ever they feel like it.
Well said. Sums it all up well.
