We have camp hosted at a day use park that is in a flood plane, so no underground dump tank. To cure the problem the park ranger drops a 250 gallon plastic tank in a shallow hole. We setup and dump all wastes into that tank. A sewage pumping company comes once a week to pump it out for us. No muss, no fuss. No reason you could not do the same thing.
This is basically what we have. Ours is a 300 gallon tank, set a little into the ground. The campground we stay at has a honey wagon that he pulls behind a atv and he had a small genny on the trailer to run the pump. He pumps us out when we tell him we are full. We all use PVC pipe from the trailer to the tank. With a short piece of stinky slinky off of the trailer to the PVC.
Works very well. The campground is 24 sites over 20-30 very wooded acres. It would have cost him a fortune to run actual sewer to each site. He usually has a waiting list to get into the campground for seasonal. We are all like an "up north family".
Its actually very nice, many people here have dogs, and kids. Dogs are never leashed. And the kids roam on any inch of the property they want. But the owner told us this before we got the site. His words were, the entire property is for everybody that has a site.
Sorry I got off topic.
