Shower Tents

What's a good shower tent?
The bathrooms at most campsites leave a bit to be desired. They are often dirty and have very little in the way of privacy. The modern solution is to carry a shower tent with you - allowing you to bathe in the privacy of a separate tent and making camping just a little bit more comfortable. Shower tents are just what they sound like - little mini tents that you can take showers in. Often they also serve a dual function as your own toilet. You'll need to bring a water source or supply to use in it, though. They're not going to feel like a shower at home, but they will probably be much better than the bathing options that you'd have otherwise. You should consider getting a solar shower so that you can have an easy, hot source of water.

Columbia Shoshoni Falls Shower Tents - This one is a really good brand. It's seven and a half feet tall, and it's got a light for when it gets dark. It also has several places to put your toiletries - a pocket organizer, a towel bar to hang your towel to dry, and a shelf. It is kind of heavy (30 pounds or so). It can be a little hard to set up the first time too. It makes up for it, however, with a ton of space (enough room for two people) and more accessories than most other brands. It runs about $130 and is available online here. |

Paha Que Shower and Toilet Tent - This is basically just a tent designed to give you some privacy for whatever you need to do. I can't find anything suggesting that it comes with any aids for showering or toiletries, so you probably should get your own portable toilet to go with it as well as a shower of some kind. It's about $150 and available online here. |

Portable Camp Shower Tent - This is both the cheapest option and the most lightweight. It's cheap, running about $30. It doesn't weigh much, and it's got a shower hose in it. The downside is it's also not as roomy or private as a full tent. It's still a good option if you don't want to spend the money on another one or if you want to carry it around with you. It's available online here. |

Pop-up Shower Tents - This is an extendable shower tend that pops up to about 6 feet high. It's also very easy to carry around, weighing about 7 pounds with the bag. A good option if you want to move around with it. It's about $160 and available online here. |
