I've used ours often, not to actually bathe, but to wet myself down when it's super hot, and I'm hanging out at the site in my shorts.

For the first time today, we used the outside shower. We were at the campground and my 3 year old twin granddaughters came for a visit with their mother. They were full of sand, and I was happy to tell them they were the first ones to ever use the outside shower.

We use ours as an extension of our outdoor kitchen. I have a short tote we use as a dishpan and use the shower to rinse the dishes. Less water in the gray tank since we don't have full hook-ups....

Used ours this last weekend for both, showering the kids and washing the dishes...anything to save the grey tank. My shower was done indoors though  wouldn't want to be the talk of the park!!

Last summer we discovered we had the lowest elevation campground in the park when a rainstorm blew in and flooded everything. The water on our site was up to the rims on the camper, everything was floating in murky, dirty water. Packing up that morning, I hooked up the outside shower as a rinse station. Everything (shoes, poles, games, bikes, etc) that I fished out of the water I carried over, rinsed off, and tossed into the back of the van. It was quite a help - and quite a scene. Everybody walking around the campground went past our site and said, "Whoaaah, glad I'm not THAT guy."
I do use the outdoor shower as an extra water and rinsing station fairly regularly. I actually wish it was on the back of the trailer instead of all the way on the other side so I could access it easier as a part of a makeshift outdoor kitchen.

I was thinking about getting one of those bathroom/changeroom tents and putting it near the outside shower. I have read other forums regarding outside showers and some feel its like dumping your gray water tank all over the campsite. I have no problem with it if you are using bio-degradable camp soap.
