A partial hook-up is where some of these services are available but not all of them. Typically these types of setups come with water and electricity but no sewer hook up, meaning you’ll need to use your own grey and black water tank capacity whole on site. Usually, these sites do have places for you to dispose of your waste, however, so while a little less convenient it isn’t a massive concern for some campers. In fact, these campsites are actually the most common style available.
However, some campsites offer various services in a variety of ways. Some only provide electricity hook-ups, while others only provide water. In cases where there is no electricity, you will need to rely on solar power, battery power, or a generator for your power requirements and appliances but be warned that some campsites have rules about generators due to the noise and smoke they can create. Some won’t allow you to use them after sunset, or too early in the morning so make sure you check these rules before you arrive.
If you don’t have a water hook up you will have to use your own freshwater tank to meet the water needs of your trip, so make sure you save as much water as you can and try to be economical. Some campsites will offer some sort of water tap for you to top up your water but again not all campsites have these available so always make sure you check before arrival.
