Camco Portable Camping Toilet 5.3-Gallon Detachable Waste Tank, Gray — Bellows Flush & Sealing Slide Valve

The Camco 5.3-Gallon Portable Toilet is a compact, two-piece camping toilet with a detachable odor-sealing holding tank and bellows-style flush designed for easy transport and hygienic waste management on the road.

Whether you’re RVing, boating, car camping, or planning a weekend road trip, having a reliable portable toilet simplifies life away from fixed facilities. This Camco unit pairs a 2.5-gallon fresh-water top tank with a 5.3-gallon detachable waste tank, a sealing slide valve to trap odors, and a bellows pump that rinses the bowl with every flush. Lightweight and built to withstand outdoor use, it ships with three sample drop-in tank treatments to help control smells during initial outings.

How does the holding tank keep odors and leaks under control?

The lower tank detaches for straightforward emptying and features a side-mounted sealing slide valve that closes tightly after use. That valve prevents leaks and traps odors inside the tank until you’re ready to dump it at a proper disposal station. The included drop-in treatments further reduce smells during storage or transport.

• 5.3-gallon detachable lower tank for quick disposal
• Sealing slide valve locks in odors and prevents drips
• Three sample TST orange drop-in treatments included
• Wide-mouth pour spout for controlled emptying

How easy is it to flush and maintain while camping?

Flushing uses a bellow-type pump in the top tank that forces fresh water to rinse the bowl—no complicated hookups required. The two-piece design separates the clean-water reservoir from the waste tank, making both refills and cleaning straightforward. Durable polymer surfaces wipe clean and resist stains for low-maintenance use.

• 2.5-gallon top tank with bellows pump for full-bowl rinses
• Two-piece assembly simplifies refills and sanitizing
• Smooth polymer finish wipes clean with common cleaners
• Handles moderate use; meets everyday campsite needs

Will this toilet fit my RV, tent setup, or boat and how portable is it?

With overall dimensions of roughly 16 7/8" H x 14" W x 16 1/4" D and a weight of about 11.5 lb, the Camco portable toilet is compact enough to tuck into closets, van cabinets, or boat lockers. A molded carry handle and light footprint make it easy to move between storage and the active campsite. It also supports up to 330 lb for stable seating.

For ongoing use bring extra treatments, toilet paper made for RVs or composting toilets, and non-abrasive cleaners to preserve the polymer surfaces. A small funnel or pour spout can make emptying less messy at public dump stations.
