Camco Portable Toilets: Reliable Sanitation for Every Adventure
Camco has been a trusted name in outdoor recreation since 1966, and their lineup of portable toilets reflects the same practical engineering philosophy that has made the brand a staple for RVers, campers, boaters, and road-trippers for decades. Camco portable toilets are purpose-built to handle the realities of off-grid living — offering genuine home-like function in a compact, durable package.
Two Capacity Options for Different Needs
Camco offers their portable travel toilets in two primary tank sizes to suit different trip lengths and group sizes. The 2.6-gallon model is the go-to choice for shorter excursions or solo travelers who prioritize ultra-compact dimensions and easy carry. The 5.3-gallon model extends your time between emptying trips, making it better suited for extended camping stays, boat trips, or emergency preparedness setups where access to dump stations may be limited.
Key Features That Set Camco Portable Toilets Apart
What distinguishes Camco's portable toilets from basic alternatives is a thoughtful combination of design features that address real-world usability concerns:
- Detachable holding tank: The lower waste tank separates cleanly from the upper flush section, making emptying and rinsing straightforward without having to move the entire unit.
- Sealing slide valve: A sliding gate valve sits between the bowl and the holding tank, locking in odors and creating a watertight seal during transport — critical for use inside an RV cabin or boat cabin.
- Bellows-type flush pump: The freshwater upper tank uses a bellow-style pump action to push a rinse stream into the bowl through multiple openings, effectively cleaning the bowl without any electrical components or batteries.
- Slick ABS interior surface: The inner walls of the holding tank are designed to resist waste adhesion, making cleanup and waste removal more efficient.
- Latchable lid: The toilet lid locks shut for transport to prevent accidental openings, and can be fully removed for deep cleaning.
- Spring-loaded locking latch: A single-handed release mechanism separates the flush tank from the holding tank, while the spring-loaded design ensures automatic re-engagement when reattached.
- Carry handles on both sections: Both the upper flush tank and lower holding tank feature handles, making it practical to move even a full unit.
Built for Camping, RVing, Boating, and Emergency Use
Camco designs these units with polyethylene and ABS resin construction — materials chosen for durability, chemical resistance, and easy decontamination. The toilets are intentionally sized to fit in tight quarters, whether that's under a dinette in a Class B van, in the head compartment of a small boat, or in the corner of a tent. Camco also includes sample Drop-IN RV black tank treatment packets with their portable toilets to help buyers get started with odor management right out of the box.
Whether you're heading out on a multi-day wilderness camping trip, stocking a boat that lacks a built-in head, or building an emergency preparedness kit, Camco's portable toilets offer a well-engineered, field-proven sanitation solution backed by a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.
