Extended camping trips have always been accompanied by the dreaded 'flannel bath'. Takes a couple of litres of water (hot or cold, depending on your choice/means/bravery), bar of soap and a rough flannel. It's not pretty, especially if the water is cold (the only time you'll hear jumpy squealing like a girl), but it does the job.
Mind you, if it's camping, I seem to follow the spartan backpacking ideal of minimal kit and not minding roughing it for a week or two.

When I used to go to derbyshire to stay at my grandparents caravan, we always used to go to the swimming baths a couple of times a week - have shower first, swim, then rinse.
