Camping Toilets

What is a camping toilet?

Camping toilets allow you and your family to get rid of waste without having to go into the bushes.

Camping toilets can vary from detailed flushable systems to quite standard "wag bags," an eco-friendly double-bag system that you can make use of to lug away your waste. Primarily, there are 3 kinds of outdoor camping toilets: flushable, buckets, and collapsible. Bucket toilets are the ones you will find to be the simplest of the lot; a bucket toilet is just as it sounds; you can even build one for yourself. The foldable toilet folds for very easy transportation and generally consists of a waste bag and a seat. A flushable toilet is one of the most fancy kind and consists of a system to hold waste.

Types of Portable Camping Toilets

In everything we do, we will always want to have choices. There's nothing different when it comes to purchasing a portable toilet. Here are the choices you will have.
