Mine has a standing pilot, with a mechanical spark ignitor to use if it happens to go out. But yeah, power is required for units that have automatic ignition.

The tankless Bosch in my house doesn't need electricity. I don't believe any of the propane powered units do.
The best setup I ever saw was years ago while at a rustic campground frequented by dirt bikers. Guy had a portable shower stall like you'd see at a hazmat cleanup site, with a residential propane tankless and a gas powered water pump. Throw the supply hose in the lake, fire it up, and take a nice hot shower, with loads of pressure. Waste water went to a blue tote and got dumped into the campground's vault toilet.
Unless there is a pilot light it has electronic ignition and needs power.

Most 'portable' tankless heaters are propane, and can turn COLD creek water into hot shower water
Portable camping water heaters are NOT electric
i don't see why what the OP asked will not work
use a barbecue LP tank the portable heater connected to the outside water tap
and fill his tub/sauna/whatever for a hot soak on the patio

Thinking outside the box I wonder if you could put a submersible water pump in the tub and pump from a full tub into the tankless until the temp rerached your goal. The water gains a few degrees rise with every trip from the tub to the tankless to the tub.
