Sticky and Dirty
Leaving civilization behind and spending three days in the wilderness roughing it can leave you wonderfully relaxed and not so wonderfully smelling. Lack of personal hygiene can ruin an outdoor expedition, but what's an avid outdoor enthusiast to do?
Two words: camping showers. They are the perfect solution for fishermen, campers, hikers, hunters, or anyone who needs a portable hygiene option. From a simple solar shower bag to a deluxe tent enclosure with propane heated instant hot water, camp showers can really enhance your outdoor experience.

Let's face it, it’s hard to relax when you're sticky and dirty. After a hard day of playing in the outdoors, the fun of a wilderness vacation can be spoiled by that sticky, “I need a shower” feeling. Sweat, dirt, bug bites, bug sprays, and sunscreens are just a few of the things which can combine to make you very uncomfortable. Cleanliness is a basic human necessity, not a luxury. Cleanliness is essential because it eliminates germs that can make us sick. A shower helps prevent skin irritations and rashes and reduces the chances of bug bites, scratches, or blisters becoming infected. After a long day of hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, or simply living outdoors, a warm shower can soothe tired, sore muscles and make your outdoor stay more pleasurable.

Lake Bathing and Public Showers
Of course, other options exist. But taking a bar of soap down to the lake is not the most ideal solution to the problem of a lack of showering facilities. This option affords very little privacy and soaps and shampoos can be harmful to wildlife and the environment. Even if you're able to find a secluded spot, bathing in a lake or stream does not leave you feeling very fresh and clean. Stripping down by the lake in cold weather and washing in freezing water can be down right painful. Basically, it's hard to really enjoy your camping getaway when all you can think about is the hot shower waiting for you when you get back to civilization.

Women, especially, will appreciate this problem and the solution of a private camp shower. It is easier to convince a companion to join you on your outdoor adventure if she knows she won’t have to go to bed grimy or smell herself and you for days on end. Forget about suggesting a bath in the lake as an alternative and, although a public shower may be available; the inevitably slimy, germ laden stalls will not be an appealing prospect for most women. A camp shower provides the perfect hygiene solution right outside your tent door and will ensure that your next outdoor vacation won't be spent alone.
 
Simple and Easy
As well as greatly enhancing your camping experience, camping showers are incredibly easy to use. The solar camping shower especially requires minimal planning and effort in getting it ready for use: before leaving camp for your day of outdoor adventures, all you have to do is place the filled shower bag in direct sunlight and the heat from the sun will warm the water in approximately two to three hours. When you return to camp, a hot shower will be waiting for you. Depending on the size, a shower bag can provide two to five showers before needing to be refilled, so you won't be the only one to profit from the convenience of a hot shower.
 
Accessories and More
For an even better experience, consider adding a privacy enclosure into the mix. The more complex tent enclosures provide a higher level of comfort. Sturdy and secure against rainy and windy weather conditions, they come in a variety of sizes and features, including pop up assembly and removable floors. Propane water heaters are another option to consider, especially for those outdoor enthusiasts looking for instant hot water. Combined with a good quality privacy enclosure, a propane powered shower represents the ultimate experience for a family camping trip or the single avid outdoorsman on an extended excursion.
