I haven't needed to wash Comet yet, but have some doggy wipes from Aldi/Lidl just incase.
I suppose if I really needed to I would just rinse him in warm water behind my tent.

As above nearest river/loch/seashore and a good rub down with their own towels...I've never actually considered how I would go about it should the need arise for a proper wash IE muck rolling etc...But a couple of kettles of warm water and soap of some kind should take care of it...

Last time we were away we needed to give Holly a quick wash, just to get rid of the sand. We just stood her under the tap near out tent, then gave her a dry down and put her in her cage for a little while to dry off. We do take some dog wipes as well.

One of these 12v or battery shower.
To be honest, it's our shower system. But also works on the dog.

Big bucket of warm water and a sponge and just wash him down on the grass, he's not the rolling in muck kind and he likes to swim so don't often have the problem.

We take her to the motorhome emptying point and use the hose pipe that is attached to the tap and give her a good hose down, then back to the van and a dry down with towels kept specifically or her and afterwards she gets a chew for being a good girl. If there is no hose pipe available I fill a bucket and wash her own nd thn use buckets of water to rinse off with, we never use any shampoo on her when away unless she finds ome truly revolting smelly mess to roll in.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013

Take him for a walk by a canal or river.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
