Angela, we\u2019re going camping for a family reunion and there are going to be a lot of us camping in one place\u2014all ages\u2014with no facilities nearby. Can we take a portable toilet camping?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great question. It\u2019s one we hear every year, especially since \u201cglamping\u201d became a thing. We also get this question from scout troops. The answer is probably, with some caveats. It depends on where you\u2019re camping and the type of terrain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could always purchase small, portable camping toilets\nfrom an outdoors store or online, but that\u2019s not going to give you privacy, and\nyou\u2019ll be left with bags of waste to clean up. I\u2019m guessing you want something\nthat operates more like a traditional porta potty or restroom trailer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several porta potty options available, including larger ADA-compliant toilets<\/a> and restroom trailers<\/a> with shower stalls. Depending on how many people you\u2019ll have, and the size of the location, you could go with a delivered trailer, a traditional porta potty, or there are even tow-able portable toilets on flatbed trailers that you can tow to the site yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When deciding on what to rent, keep in mind a delivery truck\nwill need to access the area (unless you\u2019re towing it yourself). Also, you\ndon\u2019t mention whether you\u2019ll be on private land or a state or federal park.\nEither way you\u2019ll need permission to park a toilet on your campground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some public parks will allow you to bring portable toilet trailers, but you need to check with the park services department. There may be permits and fees involved. And if they do allow porta potties, they may have specific requirements for placement and features. For example, beaches will most likely require a protective base to prevent any leaks from getting into the sand. Always check with the location before you rent a toilet to make sure you\u2019ll be allowed to bring it with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another consideration is access to water and electricity. If you rent a restroom trailer, you’ll more than likely need access to both. For large units like these, it may require an extra fee if they need to manually change out the water and sewage tanks. Be sure to find out what’s available near near the campsite and what you’ll need to deliver or service the toilet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking a portable toilet camping<\/a> is doable, you just need to do a little planning beforehand. Have a great family reunion! And give us a call if you need help finding the right product for your site.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
