I just use dishpans and a large Tupperware basin for the shower and dump it in a hole outside. Once it hits the tanks, it's not legal to dump.

Specific "rules", as opposed to "laws" at specific destinations, parks, and campgrounds notwithstanding, maybe we need to look at some definitions first, per California state law, kitchen waste is not considered to be "graywater".
ACTION: Publication of supplementary rules for Long-Term Visitor Areas managed by the California Desert District Office, California and Yuma Field Office, Arizona.
Sec. 16. Dumping
Do not dump sewage, gray water, or garbage on the ground. This includes motor oil and any other waste products: Federal, state, and county sanitation laws and county ordinances specifically prohibit these practices.....
I'm not dumping "on" the ground. It is going "in" the ground. I can understand why one wouldn't dump "on" the ground. Secondly, I guess I should report them for "dumping" sewage with their vault toilets, huh?
This will be a ticket I'd definitely fight, and IMHO, win.
Thanks for the legal piece! Where did you find it, I've tried a few time to look it up.
Dan... 
*NEVER* count on winning a ticket!
Judges (any & all courts) can be very, *very* bizarre folks!
That can work in your favor - or against.
IMHO - you would (at best) have a 50/50 chance.

I'm sure people could point out plenty of other reasons. Me? I refuse to live in a state that has a commercial that begs you to come live there.

Also, I like my big scary guns. You can't have those in California unless you're a criminal. Fortunately for you though when every second counts California's finest are only minutes away...

These are all state park campgrounds with dump stations provided. Of course they should be used.
Cali sucks for other reasons too.

P.S. I do like the weather though.

Can't disagree more that CA sucks, but as Mav said, can't beat the weather. That's why there's so many people (way too many). I only wish my business wasn't stationary and weather dependent or I'd be somewhere else too.

Saw a list of new BLM rules over on Thumpertalk CA section a while back, it specifically said no dumping of gray water.
In the past I have made an evaporation pond with some sucess. I use (4) 2 X 4 laid on edge to make a frame then line it with a blue tarp. Fill it with grey water then let it evaporate. It evaporates pretty fast in the dez most of the year....winter takes longer. Do this as needed during your stay then sweep the sediment in the tarp into the trash, or in my case I just fold the tarp into itself and throw the whole thing away.
