Hi Guys,
Just got back from a lazy weekend in a caravan park, our first visit we normally
bush camp. As we are quite new to camping in general we had a bit of a look at how others were doing things. I noticed that a few campers had a bucket under the waste from the basin in their kitchen.
Is this the correct thing to do? Where do you throw away if not on a
campsite?
We normally just let it flow to the ground beneath us, but when packed together in a park perhaps we should have a bucket?
Any advice for a newbie trying to do the right thing
Richard

Hi Richard
We use a bucket and empty it away from where anyone will be likely to walk or drive, such as into grass, scrub or trees. If going to caravan parks, some have sullage pits at the sites; many don't, and some ask that you run your hose (or bucket) moving it around, to keep the grass green. We prefer to
bush camp on our own, and depending on the terrain may not use a bucket, but 99% of the time we do. Always empty water
well away from streams and lakes.
