when we went camping last summer I'd just been to B&Q and bought one of their bright orange buckets for 99p. We rinsed and cleaned it out every morning (only used it overnight) and left it round the back of tent out of sight during the day. We didnt have a lid for it but I suppose you could put some kind of lid over the top at night - a bit of plastic sheeting or something

It worked for us as we have 3 young children and I wasnt going to keep getting up to take them to the loo block. 

The only problem was at the end of the holiday my OH gave it to me and I had to sit with it on my knee all the way home! Looking back, for 99p, I should have just ditched it! LOL

We live and learn!

Only $14.99 with Cabela! (about £8.80 or thereabouts)

Or there's the one above with the toilet roll holder built into the lid! $29.99

Gotta love Cabela!!!

wow, am i glad i came on this site!! I would never have thought about emergency toilet situations!! This has certainly been an education, thanks guys.

I think, from what i've read, you can buy just the seat (to fit any 5 galon bucket) or the seat and bucket which i think retails for £19.99. (Don't know how much the seat and lid cost). Hubby has just agreed to at least have a look at it. If Camperlands have them i will have to go and have a look.

Wow, hadn't thought about this. Going on my first camping trip in august, have been buying all the stuff i thought we would need, did not think about a bucket. being a lady of a certain age (well not that old), with hubby and 2 teenagers, a bucket with lid should be on the top of my list.

I am addicted to this site and have not even camped yet.

I've been working on getting my OH to come around to the idea of a bucket with lid, but didn't want to fork out £20 for a luggable loo.

Finally managed to persuade her when we made a visit to Camperlands and found a Fire bucket with lid for £5......removed the FIRE stickers (else someone would have really had a surprise if using it for putting one out!) and voila, emergency no1 bucket with lid!   Great!
