Portable Toilet/Tent??

Any suggestions on a portable toilet and a privacy tent to keep it in? This would only be used for 3 distinct purposes.

1) St. Patty's Day Parade. You are allowed to line your cars up on the grass on the side of road a few hours before the parade. The downside is that there are no bathrooms and you can't leave until the parade is over because there is no way to get your car out.

2) Tailgating at a football game or concert.

3) 4 Wheeling on the beach. It's a HUGE pain to have to drive a mile or two on the beach just to use the bathroom.


Any suggestions? As a guy I could simply throw a 5 gallon bucket in a privacy tent and be done with it but I'm hoping there's something a little better for the girls and kids.....

When we had our Pop Up trailer with out a bathroom, I went to Sportmansgiude.com and purchased a privacy shelter and then purchased a porta potty cassette toilet.
Worked GREAT!!! very portable very easy to use.. Also look into PahaQue Tepee.

Well, this might sound really redneck but I used to make a "cat box" when we went camping in our no-potty Pop-up. I sometimes needed to get up at night and I'm NOT a fan of walking around in dark campgrounds in the middle of the night. So I got a regular plastic bucket, lined it with a sturdy plastic garbage bag and put a few cups of that clumping cat litter in it. Voila! Midnight cat box! We disposed of the cat litter in the usual way when we needed to.

When the kids were little we put the Cat Box inside a small tent next to the pop-up. When the door was zipped up, we knew it was occupied. When only the screen was zipped up, we knew the tent was empty.

If you're on the beach why don't you just hop into the lake to pee?
As an alternate method, have 2 family members hold up a beach towel for privacy and bury the pee like a dog. And yeah, I realize that just made me sound like a total hillbilly! And, I'm totally kidding (except for peeing in the lake, that was serious).

We have done the towel thing a few times, LOL When the kids were little we carried a lge coffee can with a lid with us. It worked great.

Truck camper. I would be concerned you might be violating public health laws. If not, I'd look for a portable cassette toilet and just a regular tent that you could set up. I'd highly recommend an "occupied" sign at the door.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be
