We had a shower tent, and a 5 volt shower pump. They worked pretty well.

This thing is awesome for car camping.
You can effectively make your own out of a weed sprayer but the materials will cost you about the same and you won’t have the tote bag/pocket.
Okay, cool. A few things to start off with:
cheap bastardthrifty individual, and have built a poor-man's portable kitchen setup a few times over. I usually start with some basics from Dollar Tree to get me started - tongs, a grill grate, paperware, food containers, etc can get you by until you can "spend" on something better, and most of their food doesn't need refrigeration. Here's what my current everyday-use kitchen setup consists of:All this (except the dog) fits in a 5-gallon bucket if you put it all together, but I keep the machete, shovel, grill grate, charcoal, and a small BBQ in the back, and the kitchen-y stuff altogether amidships where I usually am.
I tried to get the funds together to buy a bunch of portable showers and hand them out, then they just need to find a spot to tap some water from. I then got hit by some rough finances and had to put it on hold, but if anyone's interested, here's an amazon link to a cheap portable shower:

As my finances have finally normalized, I'm planning to do this exact thing soon. I may not be able to buy tons, but I can buy a couple with instructions to share.

Both for under $26
All you need is this to finish it off.
not sure why Camp Showers aren't more popular at festivals like this, you just fill them up and leave them in the sun for a few minutes and you've got yourself a nice warm shower. https://www.amazon.com/iDeep-Camping-Gallons-Portable-Climbing/dp/B077QP6Q7F
My personal recommendation would be to skip the showers and have your group invest in a portable shower. We’ve had ours for a few fests now. You can shower any time of day. Super convenient and private.

Baban Portable Outdoor... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BC7569M?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It works so surprisingly well!!!
What you need is one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078N2HHK9/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_gaewDb4ZCEFTC & https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013OVSOEU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. Just throw a bathing suit on and shower in the aisle in front of your car.
I've thought about this for sometime because i want to build out a van so i can do ski touring, and theirs not always a shower available. Anyways, I've thought maybe a 5 gallon pot with a thermometer, being heated on a burner might work. I don't think it would take long to heat up considering that it only needs to be heated to 39C / 102F or so. You could at this point poor that into a pump sprayer, or use a portable shower head and put the pump right into the pot. As to how to do it in the van, i've thought maybe if you sat on a small bench in a portable plastic tub, or built your own wooden tub to your own dimensions. Then just either pour out the water, or pour into a greywater jug. If you built your own tub, you could even install a little drain into it with a rubber stopper.
No like this: NEMO Helio Portable Pressure Shower with Foot Pump, Sunset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075Y4WRL1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xLmEAbRS8H96N
yea this one holds five gallons. 40 bucks and you have more water than this build, with zero maintenance. maybe OP has an issue hanging the bags though, and in that case I bet this would be awesome.
You've definitely got some good insight. Yes, if you don't like it you can resell the van. Yes, you can find many, many jobs when you are able to move to any location. I have showered with a simple foot-pump shower like this: https://amzn.to/2JJ0mbd so you don't need a gym
Option: you can also get a solar camp shower, they cost from $15 to $30 for a good one (5 gal or more), heat up all day in the sun, and allow you to shower in your campground (in a bathing suit, and if you bring a way to elevate it. If you are shy you can also get/make a shower tent or screening.) It's reusable for any festival or camping situation.
This one seems serviceable for $13.
From my experience, having bathroom/shower facilities are only at sites with designated camping sites (pad/fire ring/etc), and unfortunately those are the ones with the sites right on top of each other.
If you want space, look into "dispersed" or "open space" camping locations (sorry I don't know the Houston area specifically). Then just take a camping shower with you for bathing requirements :)
