A portable porta potty for camping on a weekend campout runs 199 to 300 dollars for a standard unit, tank size 60 to 70 gallons, delivered and picked up around your dates. If you want the best porta potty for camping, a small porta potty for camping fits most tent sites without trouble. Orem Porta Pros sets units on gravel pads, dirt lots and grass without trouble, as long as a service truck can reach the spot.
Most camping groups do fine with a single standard porta potty rental. It measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits on a trailer pad, a campsite clearing, or the edge of a group site without eating up space. The 60 to 70 gallon holding tank handles a weekend for a family or a small group before it needs servicing, which matches the baseline interval in ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for units seeing moderate use across a multi-day stay.
Bigger groups, church campouts, and scout jamborees need more math than "one unit for everybody." OSHA 1926.51(c) sets the construction-site ratio at one toilet for 20 workers, and while a campground isn't a job site, the same logic applies: more people means more units, not a bigger tank. If you're planning for 30 or more campers, check how many porta potties you need before you order. Families wanting something nicer than a standard box should look at the deluxe flushable porta potty, which adds a flush mechanism and a roomier interior for a weekend rental in the 150 to 290 dollar range. Groups with an accessibility need should ask about the ADA accessible porta potty; ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least one accessible unit wherever portable toilets are clustered, and ADA Standards 304.3.1 calls for a 60 inch turning circle inside.
For car camping close to town or a porta potty for tent camping, a porta john rental delivered the day before you leave is usually the simplest plan. Orem sits 5.6 miles northwest of Provo and 6.4 miles southeast of Pleasant Grove, so a delivery truck working this corridor isn't going far to reach most camping spots around Orem.
Yes, if you're serious about handwashing at camp. A porta potty covers the bathroom, but 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) is clear that a real washing setup needs soap and towels or a hand-drying device. Hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy that standard, and it doesn't cut it after a day of cooking over a fire either. A handwashing station rental or a camping portable sink solves this cleanly. Look for a portable sink with a water tank for camping so nobody has to haul jugs from a spigot.
If your group wants an actual sink station for dishes and cleanup at a longer stay, the portable sink rental page covers tank sizes and setup. Some campers also add a hand sanitizer station rental as a backup at the tent entrance, which is fine as a supplement but shouldn't replace real handwashing per 1910.141(d)(2).
For extended stays, a group camp, or a family reunion running a full week at a single site, a small restroom trailer rental beats a standalone unit. The 2 stall restroom trailer gives two private rooms with running water and lighting, useful when kids and adults are sharing one site for several days. Weekend rates for a trailer run from 900 to 3,000 dollars depending on stall count and finish level, well above a standard toilet but worth it for a bigger group. If anyone wants to rinse off after a hike, a shower trailer rental or the step up to a luxury restroom trailer covers that too.
Placement matters more at a campground than it does on a job site, mostly because ground conditions vary and access roads aren't always graded. A rule of thumb from our porta potty placement guide: keep the unit on level, stable ground, away from a slope that catches runoff toward tents. ADA Standards 302.1 requires stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces for accessible units, and that's good practice for any unit on soft camp soil, not just the ADA one.
Delivery access is the other piece. Our trucks need a clear path in and enough room to set the unit without driving over tent stakes or fire rings. If you're booking for a group event rather than a casual weekend, the event restroom rental page has planning notes that carry over to big campouts too. Winter campers should check porta potty in winter before booking, since cold weather changes servicing needs. And if you're unsure what local rules apply to placing a unit on public land near Orem, our porta potty permit requirements page is the place to start; placement on any public right of way needs confirming with the city directly, since we don't publish assumed permit rules here.
A standard unit for a weekend runs 125 to 400 dollars depending on delivery distance and service level. See the full porta potty rental cost breakdown, or check porta potty rental per day if you're only out for one night.
Yes. Weekend rental is the standard camping option, and it's priced separately from day or week rates. Orem Porta Pros delivers before your trip and picks up right after, no long-term commitment needed.
It's strongly recommended. A toilet handles waste, but proper handwashing under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) calls for soap and towels, not sanitizer alone. A portable sink with a water tank fixes that gap at any campsite.
Book as early as you can, especially for weekends near holidays. Availability tightens fast for popular dates, and last-minute orders may need our emergency porta potty rental option instead.
Tell us when you book. Our crews need reasonable access to set the unit safely; a roll-off delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance, and portable toilets need less but still require a clear path in.
Yes. Orem Porta Pros delivers camping porta potty across Orem and the surrounding metro, with same-day and next-day drop-off available on most orders.
