ChukkerB 0 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Does Fort Wilderness allow private outhouses(tents) on your lot? We are in the process of getting our gear list together and this is one our questions. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I can't answer with authority, but my guess is that as long as you dump the porta-potty properly it would be fine. Hopefully someone with experience can give a definitive answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 i agree with daveInTN. IIRC you are allowed a tent and a RV. So why not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim5055 120 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 When we had the pop up we always had out extra small tent on the site. It saved a walk to the comfort station in the middle of then night lots of times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 When I tent camped, I set up one of those often Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I've noticed numerous of those tents in use in 1500 and 2000. Not sure if they're used for dressing rooms or librarys, but they are there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DinDavie 37 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 As the person in charge of fecal management let me say that I much prefer to flush someone elses toilet. Just sayin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChukkerB 0 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 So without sounding gross, the next question would be How do you dispose if it, ect.? Any/all help in this matter would be fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I just carry mine to the comfort station and dump it in a toilet. Use for liquid only.... Solids, I make the walk to the Comfort Station... If you are in 1500, it is a quick walk over to the 1600 loop to perhaps find an empty site and dump in the sewer. (That is actually the official line from Fort Management is to find an empty full hookup site to empty your portable waste tank.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any/all help in this matter would be fantastic. What do you plan on "going" into? A cassette toilet? A 5-gallon bucket with a toilet seat? A poop cannon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChukkerB 0 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Good question ependydad. I'm not sure what we're looking at honestly. Something in the camp toilet type(bucket,or???) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I actually find a hassock toilet (basically a bucket with a seat on top) is the easiest. Put a little water in it, then one of those "packets" of toilet stuff in there, then just carry the bucket to dump. I have a two-piece flushable portapotty inside my camper, and while it is a lot more attractive, it's actually lots more work to set up and empty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I had a cassette toilet built into my pop-up. It was nice- you pulled the canister (aka cassette) out and took it to the dump station. I never liked dumping it at a sewer site as I found I'd miss s little at the start of the pour. I know they make portable versions of the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momoffive aka Loretta 34 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 OK a question. My son is diabetic and has to go a couple times a night. I thought about those buckets with the lid so we are not walking back and forth in the middle of the night. Would kitty litter work in the bottom? When the kids were really little just training... all 5 at the same time...I used to use the training potty in the van. I would put the pot part in a shopping bag and then a folded diaper in the pot. Once they were done tie up the wet diaper and toss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've heard of people using kitty litter and then disposing of it in the trash. I've also read people get uppity about it. We did the diaper thing when my daughter was little. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChukkerB 0 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Kitty litter would work, and yes people would get WACKY over it, but I think it's a good idea. Less "splash" possibilities if not using it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
