Portable camping toilet at a glance
Types of portable toilet for camping in this collection
5.3 gallon (20 L) travel toilets
The largest group is the 5.3 gallon (20 L) travel toilet. Three models share this size, and two have detachable tanks. Two list a 3-way pistol pump for flushing, and one adds a level indicator. This size suits a small group on a weekend trip. One model is listed as a portable toilet for adults and comes in grey.
5.8 gallon (22 L) porta potty
The 5.8 gallon (about 22 L) porta potty has the largest tank in the range. It lists a level indicator so you can see when to empty it. It also lists an anti-leak pump. The listing names camping, boating, hiking, travel and RV use. A bigger tank means fewer trips to the disposal point.
Compact 2.6 gallon (10 L) toilet
The compact toilet has a 2.6 gallon (about 10 L) waste tank and a 2.6 gallon flush tank. It is listed as leak-proof and odourless. Smaller tanks are lighter to carry and easier to empty. It fits short trips and tight spaces, such as a car trunk or a small boat.
Check each product page for exact sizes, weight and fit.
How do you choose a camping toilet?
Match the tank to your trip
A 2.6 gallon (10 L) tank suits a short stay. A 5.3 gallon (20 L) or 5.8 gallon (22 L) tank lasts longer between emptying. Count the people and nights. Choose the larger tank if you are unsure.
Remember that full tanks are heavy
Water weighs about 1 kg per litre. A full 20 L tank weighs about 20 kg (44 lb) before you add the toilet itself. Detachable tanks make carrying easier. Empty the waste tank before you move the toilet.
Look for a level indicator
A level indicator shows how full the waste tank is. You can empty it before it overfills. It helps most on longer trips and on boats, where space is tight.
Check the flush pump
A pump flush moves water from the flush tank to the bowl. Some models list a 3-way pistol pump, and one lists an anti-leak pump. Test the pump at home before your trip.
Plan disposal first
Find an approved disposal point before you go, such as an RV dump station. Never empty a waste tank onto the ground or into a waterway. Check local rules for your campground or area.
Where do camping toilets work best?
Campsites and cottage properties are the most common setting. A portable toilet saves a late-night walk to a shared washroom. Set it up near your camping tent and keep a few clean-water jugs close. A folding chair from our camping furniture range makes the site more comfortable.
Vans, trailers and road trips also benefit. An RV toilet in a small bathroom can be hard to reach when the unit is packed. A detachable-tank travel toilet gives you a backup that fits in a car trunk. Use it at rest stops, on ferry queues or at remote trailheads.
Boats and hiking base camps need a compact option. A boat toilet must be easy to empty and secure when the water is rough. Follow local boating rules for sewage, and carry waste to an approved pump-out. See our boating supplies for more gear.
How do you set up and care for a portable toilet?
A portable toilet works best on firm, level ground. Fill the flush tank with clean water and add a holding-tank treatment made for portable toilets. After each trip, empty the waste tank at an approved disposal point, rinse it and let every part dry. Drain both tanks before freezing weather, then store the toilet indoors.

Portable toilet FAQs
How do I empty a camping toilet?
Remove the waste tank and carry it to an approved disposal point. An RV dump station is one example. Pour slowly, then rinse the tank and let it dry. Never empty a waste tank onto the ground or into water.
What tank size do I need?
A 2.6 gallon (10 L) tank suits short trips. A 5.3 gallon (20 L) or 5.8 gallon (22 L) tank suits longer stays or groups. Larger tanks need emptying less often, but they weigh more when full.
How do I keep a portable toilet from smelling?
Empty the waste tank often, use a holding-tank treatment made for portable toilets and keep the seal clean. Leak-proof, odourless designs help, but regular emptying matters most. Rinse and dry the tank between trips.
Can I use a porta potty in a car or on a boat?
Yes, many people use compact porta potty models in cars, vans and small boats. Check the listed size and weight first. On a boat, follow local boating rules for sewage and carry waste to an approved pump-out point.
What is the difference between a flush toilet and a bucket toilet?
A flush toilet has a water tank and a sealed waste tank. A bucket toilet uses a bag or liner and no water. The models in this range are flush toilets with tanks, so they need a disposal point rather than bags.
Can I use a portable toilet in cold weather?
Yes, but water can freeze. Empty and dry both tanks before freezing nights, and store the toilet indoors. Check the maker's guidance on the product page for cold-weather use.
