I make it a habit to always run my sink drain (bit of garden hose, like
Mike describes) into a jug, also. If I was doing "dispersed camping",
i.e., no assigned camp sites in a large area, I might get a little
lazier, but most of my camping is in places where one parks the van in
defined sites. I figure that if I leave a wet spot behind with a little
grease, coffee cup rinsings, soap (even biodegradable) and food
particles -- and the next person does, and the next, and the
next...after a while the whole area where the vehicle is meant to park
would get grotty.
