When you're heading off the beaten track, having the right camping toilet and tent setup can make or break your trip. Whether you're wild camping in the Highlands or setting up base for a festival weekend, comfort and hygiene are key. In this guide, we’ll cover the essentials of a smart and sanitary camping toilet setup, and recommend the perfect privacy tent to go with it — all while keeping things compact, portable, and eco-conscious.
Why You Need a Camping Toilet and Tent Setup
Let’s face it — no one wants to dig a hole or trek across a muddy field at 2 a.m. to find a questionable toilet. A proper camping toilet and tent combo provides:
-
Privacy in open spaces
-
Hygiene for families, couples, and solo campers
-
Convenience at night or during storms
-
Eco-friendliness, especially in remote or protected areas
The good news? It’s never been easier to upgrade your campsite with lightweight, portable gear that’s designed for fast setup and easy cleaning.

Best Tent for Camping Toilets: Escapade Shower Tent or Swing-Away Tent
Privacy is just as important as the toilet itself. Pair your Lootoo™ with a dedicated camping toilet tent for complete comfort.
🏕️ Escapade Shower Tent
Compact, waterproof, and super quick to pitch, this tent is the ideal toilet shelter. With mesh vents, zippered access, and room for extras like toilet paper holders or a hand-washing setup, it's a must-have for any serious camper.
🌀 Swing-Away Tent
For overlanders or 4x4 adventurers, the Swing-Away Tent mounts to your vehicle and swings open in seconds, creating instant privacy without taking up ground space. It’s a game-changer for remote camping spots where space is limited.
How to Set Up Your Camping Toilet and Tent
-
Choose a level spot away from sleeping areas and water sources
-
Pitch your privacy tent — secure with guy lines and pegs
-
Place your Lootoo™ toilet inside with Lootoo™ Bags inserted
-
Add a roll of paper, hand sanitiser, and a bin for used bags
-
Pack it all away in minutes when you're done — no trace left behind
Pro tip: Bring a small LED light or headtorch for midnight visits!
Ideal for Roof Tent Campers Too
If you’re travelling with a roof tent like the Escapade Horizon or THRE360, having a ground-level toilet tent is essential. It keeps your sleeping space clean and your camp setup ultra-efficient.
Combine your sleeping setup with Escapade's accessories like the HotBox for warm water or the Collapsible Bucket for quick cleanup.
