When I go on an extended camping trip, there are several things that help keep me refreshed and feeling good. One of those is having a way to stay fresh and clean. For some of us, this is an essential part of feeling good, and there is no reason you can’t experience this while camping. The easiest way to accomplish this clean feeling is taking a shower while camping. We are here to help you out.<\/p>\n

So how do you take a shower while camping?<\/p>\n

Here are 3 eASY methods for taking showers while camping. <\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    The first is if your campground has a comfort station with showers.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n

    The second is is to bring or make a solar shower. Solar showers are warmed by the sun and can be used at any campsite.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n

    Another method is to bring a propane heated shower. This system will heat water on demand allowing for a warm shower anytime.

      Anytime I like to go camping; I love the middle of nowhere spots. Places where you are barely within a whistle’s distance of any other person. This secures peace and quiet and most of all privacy. There are so many products out on the market you can use, but they all really do the same thing, cover you up.<\/p>\n

      Now whether or not you like to be in the buff while in nature or still like the modest approach. This is entirely up to you. I prefer to go cheap on items of this nature, but if I\u2019m feeling kind of shy, this would be a great purchase.<\/p>\n

      The Wolfwise Pop Up Privacy Portable. IF you are feeling kind of crafty, you could always fashion one out of PVC pipe, and a shower curtain or two for a fraction of the cost and it still breaks down for easy storage and travel.<\/p>\n

      There are many types of easy pop-up shower tents on the market, and they are pretty <\/strong>affordable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • WolfWise Pop Up Privacy Portable Camping<\/span> – $38.88<\/li>\n
      • Sportneer Portable Dressing Changing Room Privacy Shelter – $33.99<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Leader Accessories Pop Up Shower Tent<\/span>– $42.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        <\/span>How To Choose the right location for your camping shower.
        \n<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

        Picking your spot is probably the easiest part. This is a more personal preference but do consider one factor, Sunlight! In the event you choose to go the unheated route, the sun is always a good source of natural heat to warm you up while drying off with a towel, quit trying to be tough and just bring a towel, trust me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Out in the wild, there are unseen dangers that can creep up and you\u2019ll never see coming. Most importantly noted hypothermia. Body temperature is one of the most essential things you have to keep in check when you\u2019re out of your suburban comfort zone.<\/p>\n

        <\/span>Propane heated showers<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

        Now if you want to shower like you never left home, the closest you can get is getting a camping shower that has the ability to have the water in its reservoir heated by propane then, by all means, shower till the levy runs dry. You can find these in a variety of price ranges. I personally use the CAMPLUX ENJOY OUTDOOR LIFE Pro and while it isn’t the highest priced propane heater, it works perfectly. You should definitely go check out the latest price on Amazon here.<\/a><\/p>\n

        Another great thing about propane showers is that they usually have controls for temperatures and you can take a shower as long as your propane tank will last.<\/p>\n

        There a smaller alternatives that use travel-size propane tanks. These are much more portable for hiking or moving around. A good example would be the Zodi zip shower. Great for a quick shower but a smaller tank means less time for washing off.<\/p>\n
