Camco 2.6 Gallon Portable Toilet

At just 12.5 Inches high, the Camco 2.6 Gallon Portable Toilet is a perfect choice for camping families who have children with them.  The portable toilet prevents the need to roam far from the tent for night time bathroom trips.  Like the Camco Premium Camping Toilet, the 2.6 gallon model features a pump action flush method.  Camco makes an extremely durable, portable, and comfortable toilet option for camping and if you camp with kids, this should be the toilet you bring along for them to use.

The holding tank is detachable and includes a sealing slide valve to lock in odors and protect against leakage. It includes two side latches to secure the tank to the toilet and a carrying handle for easy transport. The toilet employs an easy-to-use bellowtype flush and pull slide valve for easy flushing.

Reliance Luggable Loo

If you are looking simplicity in a camping toilet, the Reliance Luggable Loo is a great option.

This camping toilet is exactly what it looks like; a sturdy bucket with a snap on toilet seat.  However, don’t judge a book by it’s cover. This is one of the best selling camping toilets for sale and the main reasons are price, simplicity and reliability.

There’s not much that can go wrong with a bucket with snap on toilet seat if you follow some simple instructions:

1. Use good bags inside the bucket and dispose of as often as you fell necessary.  We recommend Reliance Product’s own Double Doodie Waste Bags.   These bags are sturdy, don’t break and include a Bio-Gel inside the bag that solidifies waste and deodorizes.
2. We recommend using a milk crate to help prevent the bucket from ever tipping over.  The milk crate also can hold additional supplies such as toilet paper, extra bags, and extra chemicals.  We recommend the Delight Milk Crate because it is wide enough to fit the bucket and accessories.  If you do not buy this crate, make sure you check the measurements so the bucket can fit.

Stansport Portable Camp Toilet

The Stansport Portable Camp Toilet is another great option for a non-flushing portable camping toilet.

This toilet offers the following: Full size seat for comfort. Lid features sturdy thick wall construction. Built-in handles let you carry the unit with ease. Supports a maximum weight of up to 350 lbs. Comes with one disposable sanitary bag.

We recommend using according to the following simple instructions:

1. The bowl for this toilet is much more shallow then the Reliance Luggable Loo. Because of that, you’re going to need to empty more often.  If you will empty less frequently because there is a lower number of people using it, we recommend Reliance Product’s own Double Doodie Waste Bags.   These bags are sturdy, don’t break and include a Bio-Gel inside the bag that solidifies waste and deodorizes.  If there are going to be more people using it and the bags will need to be emptied more frequently, we recommend using Green Elephant Portable Toilet Replacement Bags.  These are cheaper bags that come in rolls of 15.  They are biodegradable which make them great for camping.  If you use the Green Elephant Bags, make sure to use Reliance Bio-Gel.  This is a gel additive that deodorizes and solidifies waste in the bag, it’s a must-have!

Nature’s Head Self Contained Composting Toilet

A composting toilet maybe a great option for a camping toilet in the right situations.  Composting toilets are rather large to be considered a portable toilet, however, they can be used in certain camping situations.  What makes the Nature’s Head toilet an option as a camping toilet is both the waterless operation and the unique two part storage of liquid and solid waste.  When they are separated, they tend not to smell as bad.  It is the mixing of the two that usually causing terrible toilet smells.  If you are considering a composting camping toilet, the best option is the Nature’s Head Self Contained Composting Toilet.

The first situation for a camping composting toilet would be obviously if you camp in an RV.  If you’re looking to move away from a typical black water waste water tank, the composting toilet has been proven to work extremely well in an RV.  The toilet can be mounted to the floor, the vent fan can be connected to batteries in the RV, and then the toilet can be vented to outside of the RV rather easily.  If you are an RV owner looking for an alternative to the typical RV toilet, the Nature’s Head composting toilet could be a great camping composting toilet option.

The next situation a camping composting toilet is perfect for is for use within a camping trailer, tramper, or other camper type of towed trailers.  What many tramper owners are finding out is that Nature’s Head has stated that as long as the toilet is vented, you don’t necessarily need to run the fan all the time.  So if you are looking for a toilet to be used in a camper without having to run electricity to the toilet, this could be a great option.  Just follow the instructions carefully and you will avoid having issues with smell and other issues.

The last situation this camping composting toilet can be used for are extended tent camping trips. The toilet is large so you wouldn’t want to necessarily take on a short car or family camping outing.  However, if you’re tent camping for longer than a weekend in a large tent like a canvas tent, the camping composting toilet could be an option.

This composting toilet is self-contained, urine diverting and the waterless operation allows for ease of use for many applications. Also called a dry toilet, the Nature’s Head is lightweight, odorless and compact making it a perfect fit for camping. This eco friendly toilet with its stainless steel hardware, robust construction and user friendliness has been designed to withstand the harshest of conditions.  It is also manufactured in the United States.

Because this toilet is higher than usual, you may want a step stool.  Our favorite option is the Camco 43676 Adjustable Height Aluminum Platform Step. This stool is not only foldable, but has adjustable legs that allows you to adjust to the height needed.  We also recommend using Nature’s Footprint Coconut Coir as the key ingredient to the composting toilet to keep it composting without bad odors.  If you follow the instructions, you shouldn’t have any issues operating this toilet while camping. Read All Customer Reviews on Amazon
