There are lots of creepy crawlers in the sewers of campgrounds that will come up your hose, plus there's a chance of some tripping over it. In your case this would be a good option. Also, its not good practice to leave the valves open while camping...you want fluids to fill the tanks before emptying. Otherwise you'll get poop volcanoes building up in the bottom of a dry tank.

What "creepy crawlers" are you talking about in the sewer systems? I always leave the slinky stored like you said until I actually need to dump full tanks. And i Keep valves closed at all times regardless. But this statement has me thinking of some god awful sci-fi potentials. Do you mean roaches or what exactly?
