Campgrounds without sewer hook up
We went camping with our Bullet Premier 32BH for the first time during Labor Day weekend. Before the Bullet Premier we had a pop-up ( had to campgrounds facilities). We used the sewer connection at ...

daveyboy12....no, it'll get you into big trouble if the ranger or CG host sees it. And the dishwater usually includes some food particles that attract some unwanted guests. Grey tank and then dump at the appropriate place.
We love the luxury of a full hookup, but it's not the determining factor in deciding where to go. Water and electric are a much higher priority. Learning to use water like you're paying for it by the ounce will gain you lots of time before you need to dump the grey. Usually just the 2 of us and we can get 3 - 4 days before the blue tote gets used. DH just does it as part of the camping chores and he is done and back in maybe 10 minutes and doesn't even break a sweat. We've never been in one place long enough to need to dump the black before we were ready to leave. Sunday morning clean up and I'm very generous with water going into the black tank since in an hour we're going to dump and the extra liquid helps. Also have never waited behind more than 1 other camper at the dump station....we just stay and enjoy for another hour and the "rush hour" is over and then it's clear. With our HTT, dumping was a bit more work just because of the way it was set up, but not enough to make DH grumpy about it. With our new TT it's a snap. Another 10 - 15 minutes and we're on our way.
Personal opinion and not intended to be pushy, but I think you could enjoy a lot more great places if you'd just give it a try a few times. COE campgrounds are awesome. Most state parks, at least in TN, MS and KY the same, and almost all have water and electric to the site. We rarely camp in MO since many don't have water to the site and that really DOES make DH grumpy when he finds this out after we're there and don't have a mile of hose with us. Don't think we've ever camped without electric and likely wouldn't. Boondocking just doesn't appeal to us. But, to each his own. We won't have full hookups this weekend at our fav CG and it's perfectly fine with us. We love it just the way it is.
