That doesn't look like a normal "campground" so I'm assuming that you are staying in a hotel. Most of them have laundries with dryers. Contrary to popular opinion, bicycle clothes won't melt in a dryer as long as you don't set the dryer to "blast furnace". Lycra even likes the heat as it restores the stretch to the molecule...the heat makes the molecule "wad" up and become stretchier. I've got bicycle clothes that are 15+ years old that have been machine washed and machine dried nearly every week (that's around 800 washings) and they are still going strong.

The light bulb, by the way, is going to be far hotter than any dryer (as long as you don't use "blast furnace"

)
