That's great for a site with washing-up facilities.

Mind you, it's camping, we just get on with it & do our best. Not only is there a limit to what my car can carry, there's also a limit to what I am prepared to lug about. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

I know where you are coming from. We sometimes go touring with our vintage soft top landrover (including rally sites with nothing more than high usage public porta loos) which means all our camping stuff for 3 has to fit in a large wicker basket which we lock including water. Even our full kitchen set up amounts to the saucepan nest, 3 bowls and a standard Wilkos digital camera bag which holds everything else including 3 folding cups. The stove fits inside the saucepans. We lack nothing, its all just multi-purpose and or small - A brewery mesh designed for draining fruit makes an excellent collander.  In this event we use 2 folding PVC buckets and 1 backpacker table, one bucket as a fire bucket and one for washing up with the table acting as drainer or table as needed...

Not quite so basic for a week's camp or for a more luxury weekend, but then our Sunncamp soft washing up bowl with mesh pockets and long carry handles, one PVC folding bucket for rinsing and the backpacking tables are all that is needed and far less to lug around...
