Homemade Camping Toilet
DIY OutHouse
While preparing to “rough it” in the woods for 9 days, we decided to browse the web to find out how to make a camping toilet. We found lots of great toities! Inspired by all the great ideas, we designed this toilet for comfort and balance. Check it out:

The outhouse was a definite success on our camping trip. As you can see from the last video clip, we used it for an outdoor shower as well. The enclosure was set up around a tree with the shower bucket attached high onto a branch. There was plenty of room for both the shower and the toilet.
We had very little wind so we did not have to stake the bottom of the enclosure. It sat nicely on the ground and kept the tarp from blowing into the occupant inside.
Naming the Toilet
Thanks to the movie, RV, it is unfortunately known as “the crapper”.
Happy Camping!

We moved from the city to the country in 2005. Since then, we have been building structures, raising livestock and growing some of our own foods. We are crazy about family, nutrition and want the best for our growing family.
