Why Camping Enthusiasts Like Portable Toilets

When I first started to get into camping, I took a keen interest in the various gadgets and accessories that were available. I soon discovered that many of these accessories were not really required. I would rush out and buy them, but then find that I would rarely use them.

There are, however, some accessories that certainly are well worth having. An example of one such piece of camping kit would be the humble portable toilet. It's not an item that receives much discussion and yet it is a camping accessory that many regular campers would be loath to do without.

What is it that makes them so popular? It is surely a question of convenience and hygiene.

Many of us realise that the toilet facilities that are provided at campsites are often sadly inadequate. Some campsites barely provide any facilities at all. Others don't seem to recognise the importance of cleanliness and good hygiene. This can come as quite a shock to those of us who are used to more pleasant surroundings.

Then there is the whole issue of making your way to such facilities. This is not necessarily easily done in the middle of the night in poor weather conditions. It is also particularly troublesome for children. This helps to explain why more and more people are opting to bring their own toilets.

Although such toilets may not be identical to those that we are used to having in our own homes, they can often replicate much of the functionality. This is great news and helps to ensure that we can have a much more pleasant camping experience.

It's particularly useful that such toilets are incredibly compact. This means that they will easily fit into the back of the car, alongside all of the other camping equipment that we have to pack. Manufacturers have been keen to make them as portable as possible.

In recent years, this has led to an increase in the availability of folding options and also to an increasing awareness with regard to environmental concerns. As a result, you are now able to choose from a massive range of portable toilets.
