Grand Lake Colorado
We're interested in returning to Rocky Mountain National Park, but maybe staying in the Grand Lake area rather than Estes Park. Any recommendations on campgrounds in the Grand Lake area. I would love ...

I would love to stay in campgrounds inside the park but just can't see how dry camping would work for more than a night. We have a 29' class C motorhome with small tanks, especially gray water.
Are you towing a car or driving the RV for siteseeing? If just driving the RV you can stop at any dump station in the park and dump your tanks then you'll be set for another night.
However, I would guess you could go longer than one night with a 29'. How big are your tanks? Do you know how to conserve?
You don't have to do dishes every day... use paper plates, cook simply and even wipe out your pots with a damp paper towel and reuse them. Some national park campgrounds have a kitchen sink area attached to the restrooms. Do your dishes there.
Hand washing/teeth brushing - don't let the water run.
Showers: while waiting for the water to be the right temperature, catch that water and use it for other uses instead of letting it go down the drain; then a quick wet down, turn off the water, soap up, rinse quickly. Do you really need a shower every day? Use some body wipes inbetween.
I think you'd be surprised how you can get by with a much smaller amount of water usage.
