This is my new recipe for clean car-free bike-camping:

1) Take 1 pair of shorts and 1 bathing suit, two shirts, two pairs of underwear, 2-3 pairs of socks.

2) After pitching a tent, shower and change into fresh clothes. Hang up used clothes until morning.

3) In the morning, use a strong, waterproof bag to hand-wash the previous day's clothes. Hang them up in a sunny spot and pack up camp.

4) Strap clothes on top of packed gear on the bike so they will continue to dry in the sun while riding and continue to next destination.

Although it's a bit tedious to hand-wash clothes like this every morning, it doesn't really take that long and whatever bedding you're using (as well as the tent) stays cleaner and fresher if you shower before sleeping. That way, you can usually find a laundry facility at least once a week to avoid having to hand-wash sheets (difficult) or a sleeping bag (impossible?).

I'm curious what other people do when bike-camping/touring? Do you carry more clothes? Hand-wash?

I've been camping at campgrounds with shower facilities but I've been considering using the same water-proof bag for handwashing as a shower bag. Using squeeze-bottles could be more effective with less water but if you're using surface water from a stream or lake, it's probably not a good idea to put that water in your squeeze bottle, idk.
