Green Elephant Portable Toilet for Camping – Foldable Camp Toilet Portable for Adults, Outdoor Camping Potty, Collapsible, Lightweight Potty for Travel & Emergency Use

It traveled well. Was very sturdy. Did not collapse. I would definitely purchase this again. Came in handy atop a mountain and even doubled as table base.If you want to use a bag to collect “stuff”, the bag will have to go over the entire toilet seat.

With the pandemic closing public restrooms or reducing how frequently they get cleaned, we decided to add a portable toilet to our gear so we could get out and enjoy the outdoors responsibly. We considered a bulkier all-plastic model that looked more like a port-a-potty toilet, with enclosed space below, a removable commode bucket, a liftable seat, and a hinged lid, but we ultimately opted for this one, and we're so glad we did!Lightweight: great for carrying down to the beach (along with our privacy/wind shelter and portable hand-washing station).Compact: Folds flat to fit easily in the back of our van, even when it's full of other gear, and has saved us on longer drives with our newly potty-trained youngest child.Versatile: Makes a handy chair for changing out of wet clothes inside the wind shelter.Hygienic: Its simple design means there are no nooks, crannies or grooves to worry about cleaning, unlike the other model we were considering. We use a 13 gallon trash bag folded over the whole seat, which holds it securely. So the toilet itself never has a chance to get any unpleasant messes on it. We do one bag per pee/poo, which isn't as environmentally friendly as it could be, but it reduces the yuck-factor to a tolerable level for our kids. We also use a gelling "poo powder" that is excellent at neutralizing odors (especially important in the halfway-through-a-long-drive scenario!).Comfortable: This one feels just like your toilet seat at home. The other model we were considering had a narrow, uncomfortable seat.Simple, Sturdy & Stable: The steel frame is super stable, even on loose sand. It feels like it will last for years.

I just got back from my 3-day hiking trip. I went for it and purchased this thing and some biodegradable bags. Going to the bathroom in the wilderness is always an issue for me & the stress of figuring it out can detract from my enjoyment of nature.Not anymore!I’ve built outhouses for groups and you still have to deal with a group mountain of no thanks. Not with this.There were 4 of us and by the end of the trip we were all so thankful for this little treasure. At 3.5 pounds, it’s a commitment for a hiking trip and sacrifices might need to be made. It’s ok, it’s worth it. My 12 year old says that it was the best experience of his life. He sat on a hill with birds chirping and the sun setting, burried the bag and came back to camp in awe.The best part, the bag keeps it all clean, we used the thing as a camp chair (sacrifices) and it was great. I wouldn’t suggest going bagless with the cross beams and I need to figure out the best way for the ladies and #1, once I get that dialed, it’s 10 star.I will do an out house again in car camping, with this beauty, but everyone will walk out with there own goody bag and the outhouse will stay fresh.I am very happy with my purchase and it is well made. Find a good spot and go in luxury with your new favorite camping tool. Strapped to my back pack, it took a besting and it still looks brand new.

I wanted to fit this into the larger waterproof compartment of my sea kayak, through a hatch. If it could be made to fit, it would be perfect for camping in places like Lake Powell, where waste management is required. I thought I could get it in if I disassembled it. The unit can be disassembled to some extent with a simple Allen wrench. The seat is held in place by 6 Allen head screws that resemble sheet metal threads. The two places where the legs cross could also be disassembled with the Allen wrench. The moving joints are held by rivets that can't be disassembled. The rod between the legs is welded, so not removable.From having looked over the construction, I'd say it is pretty good. The chair folds very flat. I would have loved to keep it, but neither the seat nor the support frame could be fit through the kayak hatch, so I had to return it. I'd recommend this product if you don't need to fit it into a kayak.

This portable toilet chair is worth every cent of its price!! Very stable and sturdily constructed. The full-sized seat is especially nice. We are on our first tent campout with it right now and have already used it for two nights. Much better than making those middle-of- the - night trips to the bathroom building in your pjs with a flashlight!I do recommend using two 13-gallon trashbags with the drawstring handles. First one is for insurance in case the main bag leaks. Come up from the bottom through the seat with bag one, stretch bag opening over the seat rim and secure in place under the rim by pulling the drawstrings tight. Then open bag two and tuck down into bag one, stretch its opening over the seat and secure same way as the first bag. I sprinkled in some cheap, low-dust, clumping scented kitty litter in the bottom of the liner bag. After each use, sprinkle in a little more litter. In the morning, simply untie the drawstrings of the liner bag containing the waste. Tie it shut then tuck it down inside the first bag. Then tie that last bag shut and you can carry it all down to the trash can to dispose of. No mess, no smell. Thanks Green Elephant for this valuable addition to our camping gear!
