Festival Toilet – A Compact Portable Toilet for Festival Camping
Going to a festival should be about the music, atmosphere and having a brilliant weekend — not worrying about the next trip to the toilet.
Popaloo gives festival-goers the option of taking their own portable festival toilet to the campsite. It folds flat for transport, sets up in seconds and requires no water or traditional liquid toilet chemicals.
Use it on its own in a suitable private space or combine it with a Popaloo privacy tent to create your own compact festival toilet setup beside your camping area.
Why Festival Goers Love Popaloo
Festival toilet facilities can be a long walk from your pitch, particularly on larger campsites, and queues can become inconvenient at busy times.
Having your own toilet nearby gives you another option — particularly during the night, first thing in the morning or when you simply don’t want to walk across a large campsite.
Popaloo is designed to pack away compactly, making it practical to transport alongside your tent, sleeping bag and other festival camping equipment.
Why Popaloo Works So Well for Festival Camping
Compact Enough to Pack
When folded, Popaloo measures approximately 420mm × 420mm × 90mm, allowing it to be stored flat in a vehicle or carried with your camping equipment.
Lightweight & Portable
At approximately 4.28kg, Popaloo is considerably easier to transport than a traditional rigid holding-tank toilet.
No Water Required
There is no water tank to fill before use, making Popaloo particularly useful on temporary campsites and festival fields.
No Liquid Toilet Chemicals
Popaloo uses a dry powder waste-gelling bag system rather than traditional liquid toilet chemicals.
Comfortable & Strong
Once assembled, Popaloo reaches approximately normal UK toilet-seat height and has been weight-tested to 175kg / approximately 27 stone.
How the Popaloo Festival Toilet Works
Using Popaloo at a festival is deliberately straightforward.
1. Assemble Your Popaloo
Remove the toilet from its carry case and assemble it in under 20 seconds.
2. Fit a Popaloo Powder Bag
Place one of the biodegradable powder bags securely inside the toilet before use.
3. Use Your Popaloo
The dry powder contained within the bag gels liquid and solid waste. Each bag can handle approximately 2.5–3 litres.
4. Seal & Dispose Responsibly
After use, seal the bag and dispose of it responsibly in accordance with the festival’s waste arrangements and local guidance.
Create Your Own Private Festival Toilet Setup
For greater privacy, combine the Popaloo toilet with one of our pop-up privacy tents.
The Private Convenience Pack combines a Popaloo toilet with your choice of privacy tent, giving you a compact setup that can be positioned alongside your festival camping area where permitted.
The privacy tent can also be useful as a changing space or temporary storage area during your trip.
What Should I Take for My Festival Toilet Setup?
A simple festival toilet kit could include:
- Popaloo Portable Camping Toilet
- Popaloo powder waste bags
- Popaloo privacy tent
- Toilet tissue
- Hand sanitiser
- Biodegradable wipes
- Small torch or head torch for night-time use
- Suitable sealed waste storage until disposal is available
Your Popaloo toilet is supplied with 10 powder bags, biodegradable toilet tissue, refreshing towels and a carry case, so you already have the essentials needed to get started.
For longer festivals, taking additional powder bags gives you more flexibility throughout the weekend.

Tried at Glastonbury
well worth it.
Very sturdy and well designed. When dismantled, it is very compact which is ideal for our old VW camper and with no smelly liquid sloshing around makes disposal of doings simple and hygienic. Yes the bags are pricey but its well worth it, now we can camp anywhere.
