Plumbing would pretty much be prohibitive so water delivery would seem to be the only option left open.
Hand pumps are installed along trails in some places. A washing machine is a pretty tall order, I admit, but it may be feasible to install a few here and there with a dry well to drain the greywater. I use phosphate-free detergent and it works great, so it wouldn't be too bad environmentally if there weren't too many laundry loads done. Another option might be to use sonic cleaners, which were sold at Best Buy a couple years ago. idk how well they work, though. Maybe trail filth would be too much for them to handle.
Getting funding for the maintenance workers and service people might be hard. Camping is already allowed in camping areas and they are cleared for that specific purpose. In my state you need a permit and the Forest service checks.
You always post some heavily restrictive language to irritate me. You will claim it's not for that purpose, but you've done it regarding tree-planting as well. It's like you enjoy telling someone you dislike, "here you're allowed to stay within this small circle" in order to provoke them into rebelling against the restriction so you can justify aggression against them. I think this was the same tactic used to provoke people into wars during the Indian Wars period. It's also sort of what happened in that scene from Rambo I posted above. Did you watch that, by any chance?
