drainage system
I think you would say "...you can connect directly to the drainage system". See 'Water and Drainage' in the 1st site below, and 'Touring and Camping' in the 2nd site mentioned.

sewerage
Sewerage = network of sewers (pipes)
Sewage = what goes into the sewers.
I'd avoid anything as general as "drainage", particularly in a camping ground where surface runoff (rainwater) could be problem, for those in tents at least, since "drainage" could be taken to refer to this.
Even if the waste is not conveyed to a sewerage system and to a treatment plant, offshore outfall, etc. but simply to a giant septic tank, I think "sewerage" will convey the message unambiguously.
