How do people shower in Yellowstone?

The only campgrounds inside Yellowstone Park that have shower facilities on-site are Grant, Fishing Bridge, and Canyon. Anyone can pay to utilize them. Last year, I believe the cost of about $3.75 per shower. You can also purchase showers at Mammoth Hotel, Old Faithful Inn, and Roosevelt Lodge.
