Camping Bathroom Method 1: Dig A Cathole. A cathole is nothing more than a hole dug in the ground to bury your solid human waste in. Ugh, sounds gross right?! But it's actually a very convenient, effective, and even sanitary way to use the bathroom while wild camping - when done properly.
Shower and sink. That's it. A shower only in a room is called a shower stall.
A powder room is also known as a half bath or guest bath. It only has two of the four main components that a bathroom should have, typically a toilet and a sink.
These types of bathrooms do exist, and they are referred to as quarter-bathrooms. These quarter-bathrooms are quite rare simply due to the fact that they contain only one of the 4 main elements of a bathroom. The most commonly seen are those that contain a shower and are typically found at beaches or pools.

If you're not wearing a harness, find a spot where you have some privacy and squat, pee and wipe. It's important that you pee 200 feet away from water sources, trails and campsites to avoid impacting the natural environment or risk spreading illness to fellow outdoor adventurers.
Simply put, portable toilets flush away waste into a holding tank underneath the seat, which contains chemicals to reduce any odour, decompose waste and kill germs. Since portable toilets are not connected to sewers, once the holding tank is full…you guessed it – it will need to be emptied.
You can also flush by pouring water directly into the toilet bowl. Pour slowly at first, then quickly dump the water in to create enough pressure for a flush.
Portable Toilets Have Many Different Names
Porta-potty. Porta-john. Honey bucket.

Is It Unhygienic To Pee in the Shower? The short answer: It's fine to pee in the shower. That's according to Jamin Brahmbhatt, MD, PUR Clinic urologist and Assistant Professor at UCF College of Medicine in Florida, who knows more about urine than most people.

Other things you need to know
In most cases it is better to dispose of the waste to a foul sewer at sites specially designed to do this. Most permanent campsites and caravan sites usually have a chemical toilet disposal point.
Holding it in for too long gives bacteria the chance to multiply and settle in the bladder, leading to infection. Holding urine can overstretch the bladder and lead to voiding dysfunction, which is a lack of coordination between the bladder muscle and the urethra.
It's normal to wake up once a night to pee, but multiple times a night could suggest something more. Nocturia is the clinical term for waking up to pee two or more times at night. Your lifestyle, medications and various health conditions might cause or contribute to nocturia.
Nighttime urination does not adversely affect most people. However, if this disturbs your sleep patterns and productivity the next day, you should seek medical attention.
As opposed to a traditional full bath, a three-quarter bath is usually characterized by an efficient combination of standing shower, sink and toilet. This simple but useful design is often used for guest bathrooms, and it can add tremendous utility and value to your home.
