Camping Toilet Essentials

When nature calls in the great outdoors, it pays to be prepared. Having the right camping toilet essentials makes the experience far more hygienic, comfortable, and respectful to the environment. From a simple backpacking trip to a family campsite, a few compact items can make all the difference.

A sturdy trowel is a must-have for wild camping and backpacking. It allows you to dig a small cathole quickly and responsibly, ensuring waste is buried and out of sight. Lightweight aluminium or titanium versions are tough enough for stony ground yet won't add unnecessary weight to your pack.

For staying fresh, biodegradable wipes are a lifesaver. They're gentle on skin but break down naturally, meaning you won't leave behind plastics or chemicals in fragile landscapes. Pair them with a small pack ofhand soap or sanitiser and you've got a simple, portable hygiene system that keeps you safe and healthy outdoors.

Together, these essentials help you answer nature's
call responsibly, without spoiling wild spaces for others. For a deeper dive into best practices and kit recommendations, check out our blog: How to Go to the Toilet in the Wild – it's packed with tips to keep your adventures clean, sustainable, and stress-free.
