Wife is concerned about bathing 1 year old, normally at home we can shower her between us, 1 in shower and 1 waiting with towel, not sure how it would work in separate mens/ladies toilets, 5 year old really wants to go camping so trying to find a solution, any ideas?
Thankyou
Take a cheap paddling pool and bath her in that. I've also seen large trugs used or some sites have family bathrooms available

Some sites have a family bathroom with a huge bath. Some have had babay baths.
One in Cornwall had a baby bath in the disabled bathroom which was actually a shower room. Baby bath filled and sitting on the floor and 2 children and i showered while tiny one sat in the baby bath near our feet. Was possible as whole room was a wet room.

We have three self-inflating mats which we put together into a giant bed for two adults, a 5 and a 1 year old (will be 6 and 2 this summer).
The older one has a sleeping n=bag of his own and the little one is in a grobag (must get her one with arms before we get out again in April). If its really cold they snuggle up close. We cosleep at home too so it's not different really.

At that little age, even if walking theylike to sit down in the shower or put fingers on the floor and play with the drain (yuk!)If you shower make sure you hold her.
Some sites have changing areas in the showers, where you can put clothes & or children on the seats. Place her there with a pot of something like cheerios or raisins to keep her busy & a suitable bath toy. Obviously if she won't sit still or too small a seat dont bother.

Just brought a peppa pig ready bed for my 17 month old. Never taken her camping. So it's going to be an adventure and should keep me fit.

getting geared up to start camping with a trailer tent and family,
Me & Good lady, boys of 10 & 5 and a 2 year old little lady.
Going with Travel Cot for start then will move 10 (by then 11) year old onto a camp bed so little one can use a kids sleeping bag and share with her brother.
Had not thought about the bath issue as we will only be doing weekends a facecloth clean will suffice.
One tip try camping in garden, kids will love it and you still have the comforts of home if you need em.
I did this when I first got the trailer tent with my son to see if he really liked it before our first weekend away.
