I know what you are suppose to do with your gray water but what if one doesn't have a sink? Say you clean and rinse your dishes in pails. We always poured this in the woods. It wasn't really even that dirty.
One time a ranger at an Army Corp campgound fussed at my aunt for doing this. He said it could get in the lake. I guess that's was dirtier that all that outboard motor oil.
Anyway if you wait until dark.
Another thing was those outside showers some campers have. Some rangers don't like those. We just went behind our pop-up and showered with the water hose sprayer. Feels good in July and you don't have to hike to the bath house.
My brother had one of those bladder showers hanging in the sun at a campsite. The ranger stopped and said "I hope you aren't planning on using that." My brother said why not? The ranger said it was messy and it would make the campsite muddy. He said I'd rather you just bath in the lake. My brother said OK but I didn't think we were suppose to. The ranger said "I'd rather you do that than use that shower."
I'm back to primitive camping now and sleeping in a hammock. It's amazing how much water we use. We mostly have to get water from a hand pump where we camp.
