Jeri and I spent 5 days (4 nights) at a state park in VT the first week of this month (dry camping). I started with 20 gallons of water in the fresh water tank and added an additional 10 gallons during our stay. On the morning of the 5th day we had just enough water in the fresh water tank to wash the breakfast dishes - not enough for showers. At that point I assumed there was close to 30 gallons of water in the gray holding tank. Our water usage included showers each morning, except on day 5. Those level indicator lights are not always accurate. I've learned to note not only the colors but the intensity of the colors. Next time you camp, try using the fresh water tank instead of the potable water hook up to get a better sense of your water usage.
