What size porta potty works best for camping?
For most tent camping trips, a standard porta potty rental is the best porta potty for camping you can book without overpaying. It sits about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, small enough to tuck near a tree line without eating up your whole site. If you're feeding a bigger group, think county fair or family reunion scale, check our guide on how many porta potties you need before you book. A single unit handles light weekend use fine, but ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets the baseline service interval at once a week for up to 10 users over a 40 hour stretch, so if your group camps longer than a weekend or runs bigger than ten people, plan for a second unit or a mid-trip service call. Some campers want more than a hole and a seat. A deluxe flushable porta potty rents for $85 to $1200 a day depending on features, and it feels a lot closer to home plumbing, which matters if you've got guests who aren't used to roughing it. Pair it with a portable sink rental or a handwashing station rental and you've solved the two biggest camping complaints: no toilet, no way to wash up after.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | $100-$350 | $130-$500 | $125-$325 |
| deluxe | $85-$1200 | $150-$290 | -- |
| ada | $200-$400 | $185-$240 | -- |
Weekend campers pay a flat weekend rate instead of stacking daily charges, and that's usually the better deal for a Friday-to-Sunday trip. If your group needs an accessible option, an ADA accessible porta potty meets the 60 inch turning circle called for in ADA Standards 304.3.1, and ADA Standards 213.2 says at least one unit in a cluster should be accessible, never fewer than one, so even a small camping cluster near Greeley should plan for that.
Do I need a portable sink for camping too?
Yes, if anyone in your group is cooking, handling kids, or just wants clean hands before meals. A portable sink with a water tank for camping, run as a portable sink station for camping near your fire pit or kitchen area, solves this without hauling jugs back and forth from a spigot. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a hand drying device. Hand sanitizer alone doesn't cut it, and that standard is worth following even on a casual trip, not just a job site. A portable sink rental or a compact hand sanitizer station rental as a backup covers most weekend groups. For anything approaching a farm stay or an extended outdoor event, the field sanitation approach in OSHA 1928.110, one facility per 20 people within a quarter mile walk, is a decent rule of thumb even outside farm labor, since it just means: don't make people walk far to wash their hands. If you're camping near an agricultural property, our farm and agricultural restrooms page covers that setup in more depth. Groups running a full basecamp sometimes add a shower trailer rental or a camping shower trailer so people aren't stuck with wet wipes for a five-day trip. It costs more, but for a week-long group camp near Greeley, it changes the whole experience.
Where can I get a porta potty for camping near me?
Greeley Porta Pros delivers within Greeley and to the surrounding towns we already serve regularly. Severance sits about 11.4 miles northwest, Evans about 11.5 miles south, and Windsor about 14.6 miles northwest, so campsites and group outings in any of those spots are a normal delivery, not a special trip. Loveland is farther out at 17.8 miles west, and Johnstown runs about 16.1 miles southwest, both still workable for a scheduled drop-off. Delivery trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the unit to place it safely, so scout your site's access road before delivery day, especially if you're tucked into tree cover or a narrow campground lane. If your camping trip overlaps with a bigger gathering, check our pages on event restroom rental or festival restroom rental for multi-unit setups. For quick one-off weekend trips, a porta john rental delivered and picked up after is usually the simplest path, and you can start with a request a quote to get exact numbers for your site.
Frequently asked questions
Is a porta potty enough, or do I need a portable restroom trailer for camping?
A single porta potty covers most tent camping trips fine. If you've got more than a dozen people, or guests who want real plumbing, step up to a restroom trailer rental, starting around $175 a day for shorter stays.
How long can a porta potty sit at a campsite before it needs servicing?
ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a weekly service baseline for up to 10 users over 40 hours. Heavier use or bigger groups shortens that. Ask about a mid-trip service visit when you book.
Can I get an ADA accessible unit for a camping group?
Yes. An ADA accessible porta potty meets ADA Standards 304.3.1 for turning space, and clustered units should include at least one accessible unit per ADA Standards 213.2.
What's the difference between a standard and deluxe unit for camping?
A standard unit is basic but reliable, with a 60 to 70 gallon tank. A deluxe flushable porta potty adds flushing and a nicer interior, useful for longer trips or guests unused to camping.
Do I need a handwashing station if I already have a portable sink?
Not usually both. A portable sink rental with a water tank covers washing on its own. A hand sanitizer station rental works as a cheap backup near the fire pit or kitchen area.
