Never heard of so much compromising to go camping.....flush toilet with dish water, shower with a baby wipe.
How about dishes with black tank ? Lol
Sorry
A lot of this is just the era. Growing up, when we camped, we didn't have showers at the campground. Getting dirty was part of camping. At the end of the week, you sloughed all that dirt off in the shower when you got home.
Prior generations took a bath once a week. Nowadays, many people take two showers a day.
And people now use the term "camping" to mean other than spending time out in the wilderness.
Add to that, "campgrounds" can include anything from a single pit toilet to multiple shower rooms and laundry facilities. There may or may not be hookups.
Depending on the region and/or climate (or individual camping site), water may be in endless supply or may be limited to what you carry with you upon arrival.
RVs can vary from having a 4gal cassette toilet only to a 15-100gal black tank plus a 15-100gal gray tank.
The number of people in a single RV can range from one to 8-10 people and the RV size may not be in direct proportion.
All that means is that for some, water conservation is a big deal and for others it is completely unnecessary.
