Our Taos came sans shower.  I was thinking, giving the relatively small amount of time we will be going camping, of purchasing one of the "solar showers" I'd seen at the local Wallyworld.  Figure that if we wear bathing suits, that we don't even need a curtain.  Has anybody used one of these at a state park/campground?  Kinda worried that they may get a bit upset about the water and soap just spilling on the ground, ya know, enviromental concerns and asthetics..... also, maybe folks just don't really wanna watch me lather up and rinse.... comments??

I used one for many years.  You have to have a place to hang or set the shower up hi and the gravity feed doesn't cause a great deal of pressure, but it sure feels great when you are dirty.  If you are camping where you can't let the water hit the ground, you can stand in a Rubbermaid Tote and collect the water in the tote.  I also have a solar shower stall that we still use to take outside showers.  There are a couple of pictures in my webshots account.:)
