Best Camping Toilet

The reason why some people are reluctant to leave the comforts of their homes and opt for a camping adventure is that the availability as well as the overall cleanliness of toilets weighs heavily on their minds. Not all camps provide these luxuries in the outdoors. Others rent a farm field to install such facilities. It is certainly good news to everyone planning to spend the holidays camping because there are now a number of manufactured portable toilets like Portaloos and composting toilets available in the market.

Composting toilets are often referred to as unsanitary outhouse toilets. On the contrary, they are far from being just pits in the ground. The designs for these vary from simple twin chambers to more progressive models that further boost the natural composting process which recycles human waste into soil fertilizer. Another cause of concern is that since it is perceived to be unsanitary, it also carries with it the offensive smell of public toilets. Quite the opposite, unlike conventional toilets these have suction air flow which drives out the odor away from the room functioning like an exhaust fan.

For people who want to bring the comforts of home when embarking on a camping adventure during the holidays, portable toilets can now be purchased. One such toilet is the Luggable Loo. It is made of lightweight plastic with a detachable 5-gallon bucket which is easy to clean especially when using a garbage bag liner. The snap on toilet seat makes the user feel like they are at home. It also comes with an enzyme deodorant packet which chemically treats human waste. It is indeed convenient to carry because its handle has a hand-contoured grip.

There are also other portable toilets in the market. The OutBack Pack can easily fit under a car seat and is very easy to pack. It can also be crammed in a small backpack or carry bag. It includes a built in seat function which can easily become a comfortable seat. Even on water, it is safe to use because it comes with a re-sealable storage bag. The Reliance Hassock is made of two buckets. The inner bucket can be lifted out for cleaning. It comes with a molded seat and the top can be used for tissue storage. On the more expensive end, the Phillips Environmental PETT can be stored as small as a briefcase and is only as heavy as 7 pounds. However, this requires WAG Bag kits which include a waste bag, a zip bag for storage, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. It chemically treats human waste with a powder which changes it into a stable gel for safe discarding.
