1. Carry as little as possible. I don't worry about dressing in the public shower area on a wet floor. I undress in my personal space (tent, camper, cabin, etc.) throw on a pair of gym shorts (no undershorts), my flip-flops, and my towel over my shoulders. Ladies might want to add a t-shirt. Then I go back to my camp site and get dressed in my personal area.
2. I have a small hygiene kit (airline size) with all the essentials I will need in the facilities (travel sizes). Instead of throwing away tiny bars of soap, I keep them in a zip-lock bag for when I go camping. I take one out, shower with it and throw it away - no need to keep a nasty wet bar of soap in my hygiene kit.
3. Toilet seats get a quick wipe down and a layer of toilet paper before I sit. I also carry a small backpacking trowel and a small roll of toilet paper in my day pack. (Ladies might consider a go-girl. I'm convinced that women who "hover" make as big, if not a bigger mess than men who don't life the seat.)
4. I shower at night - it's way more comfortable sleeping clean than sweaty, stinky, dirty, smokey from the day's activities.
