If one wants to start from scratch, the black plastic solar shower bladders are not too expensive -- This is only $15, and holds a decent amount of water. In a sunnier climate, I'd not fill it full, but about 1/2 to 2/3 full, then add cold water before using to get the right temperature.
We have one of those.... it just doesn't work so well for many situations. It's very difficult to fill from a hand-pump spigot, and there's not always (actually seldom) a good place to hang it above the shower shelter. It won't warm up much on a cool cloudy day, and there's no practical way to put warm water in it.
All those drawbacks are what got us interested in the pump sprayer option.
