When you overland in your SUV, van, or a truck for a few days, you start itching ( literally 😜 ) for a hot shower. Luckily, there are many road shower alternatives.
These lightweight, portable camping showers allow you to wash off the grime of hiking and the stench of campfire in privacy, even in the middle of the woods.
Best of all, many camping showers are multi-purpose. Whether you need to wash dishes, gear, or yourself, these showers will accommodate. Here are just a few of the best products on the market when it comes to portable camping showers:
1 - Dirt Cheap ( Only $18-$25 !! )
Coleman brand is cheap, but tested and trusted.
This camping solar shower holds 5 gallons ( enough water for multiple showers ). It’s constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it’s left in the sun, even on cool days.
The shower features a strong handle for reliable hanging and carrying as well as a handy on/off shower head valve to conserve water.
2 - New and improved ( and slightly more expensive - $29.99 )
Advanced Elements 5 Gallon Summer Shower / Solar Shower

As a result, the Summer Shower can generate warm water fast--a must on cool mornings. The premium-quality shower also features an easy-to-use on/off showerhead that saves water, along with an extra-large filling valve with a convenient twist-off cap.
