Campsites without toilets…what do you do?

[4fingerKitKat]

I’m looking at some “campsites” which are basically farmers’ fields with no facilities.

What do you do for a toilet in such situations? Most advice I seem to see about camping toilets seem to be people using it as an emergency night time option that they then empty down a toilet.

How do you manage if there are no toilets? Or do we just admit defeat and find a campsite with toilets!

Find a campsite with toilets!

I wouldn't book it

Find a campsite with toilets or but a toilet tent and chemical loo. The campsite do not expect you to act like bears.

Even if it's fields, they should have some facilities if they're renting more than a few pitches very occasionally. Lots are hiring out those festival type toilets for this summer.

Are you sure there's nothing? If so, then yes, go for another.

Not toilet - not way!!

FGS woman - find one with toilets! The farmer is having a huge laugh at your expense and filling his/her coffers in the process

Dig a hole?

I’d find somewhere else. Teen DD has difficulty if the toilet block doesn’t have underfloor heating and isn’t cleaned constantly...

Why would you even think of going there!?

Depends for how long

One night because you're going to a wedding a porta loo situation wouldn't bother me

1 week for an annual summer holiday. Not a chance in hell.

You bring something like this and it’s own toilet tent. It sort of flushes, but it won’t last more than a weekend.

I think it’s a bloody cheek to advertise a campsite without toilets!

I’d put up with portaloo but how on earth can they charge for camping with no toilets at all? Nope from me.

I think mostly these sites are designed for caravans and motor homes with their own toilets.

No we’re talking very basic tent-only sites. There seem to be a lot about this year, probably farmers taking advantage of the demand for uk holidays.

I’m happy with roughing it, I literally just don’t know how a camping loo set up works if you can’t empty it.

We’d definitely only be doing a couple of nights.

It doesn’t. It can’t. Even a camper / caravan needs an elsan point to empty waste. A field without a loo is wild camping and therefore should be v short term
And free.

Portable loo and a toilet tent.

We have a motorhome, but we noticed when we were away a few weekends ago that almost every tent on the site had a toilet tent. This was despite the site having a toilet block.

But if the site has zero facilities, you're going to end up taking it home with you to empty into your sewer at home. Not a pleasant job, but not as unpleasant as you're imagining.

There does seem to be a boom in these back-to-basics tent-only sites. It's frustrating with a small motorhome as these are exactly the type of sites we'd enjoy and we're fully self-contained for 3-4 days between service stops.

Why would you got a campsite with no bogs?

Fuck that. Seriously why would you even contemplate it?

Do you not want a shower or washing facilities?

The min standard is a loo emptying point and a cold water tap, I think. We go for a week and require facilities!

Why would you want to stay there. There are plenty of places that have toilets and showers. The landowner shouldnt charge rent.

Wild camping in the wilderness is great. Digging a hole to do a poo or weeing anywhere is fine because you’re alone in the middle of nowhere and you can do your business far away from where you pitch your tent. Camping in a field with loads of other people and no toilets sounds absolutely disgusting by comparison.

Is there even running water??

You buy one of these if you really want to camp somewhere without facilities, mine is nearly 20 years old.
