I always love getting lost in the woods in a camping adventure when I am doing my literature work. By the end of this month, I plan to finalize on some notes and research for the story that I have been working on. Camping being my best escape when working on such projects, I have planned to go for a camping adventure so that I can quietly and conveniently finish that project.

While camping is really an awesome real adventure, proper hygiene while at it can easily be compromised. This is mostly in relation to the disposal of human waste. Most people including myself have used toilet canisters in the past while on a camping adventure and I can assure you it is not among the best ways of dispose your body waste.

They can get smelly or even worse, leak as you go to dispose the waste at the disposal point. It is for this reason that I have decided that I will not give up on the modern conveniences during my upcoming adventure. So, I am setting out to the market to shop for a good camping toilet to go with a showerhead that I bought some time back.

Here are some things to put into consideration when shopping for a camping toilet, as I read on https://homeworthylist.com.

Types of camping toilets

There are different camping toilets makes. These types differ from each in terms of how they are modeled and how they function. There are three main types of camping toilets in the market.  

These are:

Portable flush toilets

This is the most outstanding type of the portable camping toilets. They are very convenient due to their many features such as toilet paper dispenser, a complete size seat among others. So many portable flush toilets are available in the market.

Their two main disadvantages are, one that they are bulky especially when they are filled with water. Secondly, the waste is stored in the bottom container until the time it will be disposed of. This can be an unpleasant experience even though you can reduce the smell by adding chemical deodorants. This type of toilet is costlier when compared to the other types. Remember, these are eco friendly options, so they have been made to use just a little water.

Collapsible toilet

This type of camping toilets can be folded; they are very light in weight and a bit cheap. The overall design of this toilet is the same, which includes a waste bag, a seat, and tube legs that can be folded though they vary in terms of sizes and shapes. Due to their collapsible feature, this kind of the camping toilet is the most portable of all as it can easily fit behind the car seat.

The bucket toilet

This is the simplest type of the portable camping toilets available in the market. As its name suggests, its design is a bucket, a seat and a lid although the advanced designs come with a toilet dispenser and removable liners. It is also light in weight and less costly than the other types.

How to maintain and clean a camping toilet

I am certain that no one would want to suffocate under the odors of human waste emanating from a camping toilet because it can make your adventure very unpleasant. Even if your toilet comes with deodorizers, plan to add more so that you will be sure that there won’t be any foul smell. Also, carry along disposable waste bags and the powder that converts the liquid waste into solid.

Finally, when buying a camping toilet check on customers reviews and consider a toilet that is more stable and durable.

From the time that I have been using a camping toilet, I can recommend the two that I have reviewed here. Continue reading to see their pros and cons.

I am really looking forward to my upcoming camping adventure during my annual leave from work. I am very passionate about writing and I cannot wait to finally immerse myself in being lost in the woods so that I can write more vividly. I have previously been in such an adventure but there is something about the upcoming one that is making me to highly anticipate it. From my previous experiences, I can highly recommend camping as a great adventure and I can also encourage anyone who has never tried camping before to give it a shot.

Below, let me show you some very important reasons why you should not just go on literally adventures through reading but why you should consider going on some real-life adventure called camping.

Isolation

If you sometimes feel so crowded in your life and you would love to spend some time alone from the rest of the world, try camping.  Isolation is really a beautiful aspect of camping and if you love reading and writing as I do, it will give you a great time of immense peace and tranquillity to do so.

Building up self-confidence

When you go out on a camping adventure, you are required to put up your tent, start up your fire and cook meals. When you are able to complete all these tasks successfully by yourself, your self-confidence will improve. Camping also allows you to develop other survival and life skills, which play a great role in building up your self-confidence.

Fresh, crisp air

Camping allows you to adventure in a place with plenty of trees and fresh clean air. This means that you will be breathing in a lot of fresh oxygen that is good for your lungs and brain. Our bodies function much better with less strain when we breathe in more oxygen and the intake of more oxygen in our bodies has been proven to improve the digestion and blood pressure and boosting our immune system.

Plenty of sunshine

Camping gives you a chance to bask in the morning sunshine and this feels great for your skin. In addition, you are able to take in a lot vitamin D which helps your body in the absorption of calcium and phosphorous.

Activities and exercise

While camping, you will also engage in so many other physical activities such as hiking, canoeing, swimming, biking and others. These activities and exercises can be a great way of shedding of some few pounds because some involve burning many calories.

Stress reduction

Camping is a great way of dealing with stress. The peace and tranquility you enjoy while camping gives your mind a time to relax and unwind since you do not have anyone annoying or irritating you. The intake of fresh air in your body also contributes in the reduction of stress.

Better sleep

Have you been had trouble with sleeping? If yes, try camping and you will be amazed by the results. Research has shown that sleeping difficulties can be solved by camping. Enjoy vigorous physical exercises and in the evening, you get lost in the woods to light up a fire to cook and warm you up for sleep. Nothing that is more thrilling like waking up to the sound singing birds, fresh air and the surrounding beauty of nature even before you have access to a bathroom. It will even look forward to having another great night sleep.
