Easier is to just cover the sink, then the sink, the associated plumbing, and the sink cover are self storing.

Basically, in stead of permantly mounting a sink, the drain line would run to a 2 inch hole on the counter top. The "sink" would be a properly sized bowl or basin with a male drain hanging from the bottom. when the sink was needed, simply insert into the drain hole in the counter top, but the rest of the time it could be removed and stored out of the way, leaving very little lost counter space. What to y'all think? really bad drawing below.

Gray water? It goes in the bushes. Dunno about commercial campgrounds.
Here's a river-runner's trick; it's called a wishy-washy. A couple of plastic buckets and you're good to go. One bucket is filled with fresh water, and the other one contains the gray water. Most people make their own. The foot activated pump is an outboard motor fuel primer hand pump. It might work if you've got a truck bed to haul the two nested buckets in.

It's a thought.
