boak @ all you bucketeers
Kampa Khazi has a proper comfy seat and feels solid like a proper loo, not like it will tip over. Also has removable inner pail with a lid so quite discreet. No need for chemicals if only using for the odd night time wee.
Haven't been camping since Cambridge Folk Festival 2004, but of a night time DH and I used a bucket - but then we would generally have had a fair bit to drink! Dunno what it would be like now with the sprogs, we haven't tried camping with them yet!!
I am definitely a bucketeer. Often need a wee in the night when camping tho' rarely at home - I think my bladder shrinks in the cold... Loo block on our (very basic but lovely) campsite is about half a mile away so bucket very necessary.
Can someone tell me how a Kampa Khazi is better than a bucket?
And those that use cat litter - any particular sort? Am just doing my big pre-camping online shop.

Oh I have a Kampa Khazi and I love it - strictly for night-time, never used in the day, and for wees only. I empty it first thing, give it a swish out each day and it's fine. Sod traipsing across a wet field at 4am. And I always drink a lot of wine, so always need a wee in the night!!
I was a bucket virgin too, until this year when i realised that it vwas either take little breast-feeder with me at 3 am or risk him yelling and waking entire campsite whilst i was gone....so mid-night relief was hasty to say the least!
In all my years camping (and they started early) I have never wee'd in a bucket.
In fact I'd never even heard of this practice until I met DS's family who consider this "normal" behaviour.
I too am a bucketeer. We have a small bucket and we stand it inside one of the kids' old swimming rings to avoid accidental knocking over! I just take it down to the loos and put it down the loo and then wash out with soap and water. Don't see what all the fuss is about. By now I have encountered all kinds of wee, poo, vomit, etc from my 2 dcs so a bucket of wee really doesn't bother me. Mind you, I think my dh would like to get a Kampa Khasi or similar. Maybe we'll upgrade

LFS - indeed Kampa Khazi not 'Kamping' thank you.
Is fab fab, has a lid inside, wide base etc and looks more like a toilet than a bucket so hopefully less likely to be seen as an object for play by our 2 yo dt's.
Crumbled - what you need is a
Shewee 
Stringerbell I really like the look of the Kampa Khazi (or the luggable loo is another one!) - just don't think we could fit one in the car! Our bucket is very small - think one step up from a child's bucket and spade and you're about there lol.
You need the fab "Kamping Khazi" - available from caravan/camper van places.
Just got one this week to replace our lidded bucket with TCP as ds1 now 4 and beyond potty for nightime wees and this is wide base, safe lid etc. so will not tip over.
