In the two Class B's, and two Popups I've owned, it drained on the ground. The Coleman Popup did have a threaded outlet underneath, so it was possible to connect a hose to a portable tank.

On the underside of our camper there is a spot for us to connect a hose that then is put into a water jug outside the camper on the ground. We dump the water then when we get home.

A couple of options. I have a green hose and hose connection I use to divert the waste water away, and I dig a small cathole and put the end of the hose in there and let it soak into the ground, unless prohibited, then I just hook the hose up to a collapsable greywater container and dump when available. Some places frown on the cathole idea, and others actually encourage it. Of course the key to the cathole is to dig it about 6" in diameter and 6 to 10" deep, then when done, cover it up with the displaced earth so no one knows it was there. Also it tends not to stink up the campground by doing that, as for just letting it run out the end onto the ground, that could cause some real smelly spots in the campsite 
Good Luck

Ok I have no real problem with that pratice a little grey water shouldn't be too harmful. But let's just say this is a popular camping spot that gets used everyday with maybe one day of rest per week. If everyone did this you could end up with several muddy cat holes.

According to Al Gore's new film "An Inconvenient Truth," we're in for "a planetary emergency": melting ice sheets, huge increases in sea levels, more and stronger hurricanes, and invasions of tropical disease.
And now we can add little muddy holes at camping spots. When will it end? :-)

Depending on the camper, its age and design it could be one of the following:
1.) Combined Waste tank - Black and Grey go to the same tank
2.) Combined Waste Tank w/ Diverter Valve - Black and Grey can both go in, or the black can be piped off seperatly leaving the tank for black only (This is the configuration my camper has).
3.) Grey Water run-off - Similar to combined, but no way to direct grey into tank, only runs off seperately. (Had another KIT that used this method prior to it being sold due to the truck being too underrated for the load).
Hope this helps 
P.S. I also have a seperate grey tank I added to my cargo trailer and a little pump system that helps overcome the change in height between the camper being off the truck and the tank up in the trailer, or the trailer being higher than the truck, etc... etc...
When I can, I will do the cathole method as well.

It goes on the ground like all the tent campers do.

Using a 90 degree hose adapter I routed a hose from the output connection along the inside edge of the bed of the truck to the back corner behind the wheel well and into a 5 gallon soft side jug. I have access through a door on the inside for trips long enough that I need to dump it before we get home. In the past I routed it into a pail or container tucked under the edge of the truck but it was always a pain when we were in travel mode. The last outside tank I last used was a drain pain like they use to change oil it has a bowl area that drains in to a hole in the center. When it was getting full I could screw in the plug and carry to an appropriate place to dump. I would strap it to the back of the camper when we were traveling. It was nice because it was thin enough to easily slide under the truck. I found that the tractor supply type places had bigger drain pan tanks, the one I have holds 5+ gallons.
