Good on you Michael :). So many let their
grey water flow at Wagga Wagga which will spoil it for everyone. While a couple of self contained only parks insist that
grey water tanks be inbuilt only, most others accept the portable 'wheelie'
grey water tanks. Most do not allow buckets and cannisters as they can be left to overflow, but some
places do accept that the method is not important - just that the water has to be removed from the
campground. Anyone can save and removed water from the site, even when tenting.
My Blog
What Does Self Contained Really Mean has the above in more detail.
Back to kevmac's question. There may be ways of collected the water from an external shower, but if in an area where water may not be spilled on the ground, just have a tub bath - sponge over. You can get clean and fresh, and the water can be placed into a cannister and removed from the site for disposal.
Although there is an increasing trend to removing all water from the
campground (some have a
dump point on site for this), we have been to very few campgrounds where our water bucket could not be emptied into bush or grassland outside the perimeter of the
camping area.
I loved
Blackall, and when purchasing our camping permit I was asked "are you self contained?" "I have a bucket". That was cheerfully accepted and was easy to empty into the
dump point at the
campsite. We did not have a lot of water to dispose of as there were nice hot showers a moderate walk away in the town, which we appreciated.
