Campsite Squatters
Have any of you noticed people leaving their trailers in great campsites on BLM and USFS land during the week and then showing up on the weekends to camp?

Think of all the rural subdivisions where there are a 1000 homes on as many acres , all with on lot septic systems . A conservative design criterion is 100 gals/person/day . That includes toilet , dishwasher , bathing , laundry and consumption . Now compare that to 30 gals of grey water on a 100 or more acres in the wild . Also , no one suggested dumping anything on the ground in an established campground .
Of course, perc tests have to happen before a septic system is approved. Are you saying you’d do a perc test before you dumped your grey water out camping? Maybe, but probably not. ;)
Also, if you know how septic systems work, not all that goes in is treated the same way, you still have to have them pumped out. The liquids don’t go on top of the ground. Are you saying you’d go back and pump out what you left? Maybe, but probably not. ;)
