We used to do this back in the day at Phish/Dead camping events where the porta potty ratio was approximately 10000 to 1. Just get an old tent a 5 gallon bucket full of kitty litter with a toilet seat on top a bunch of grocery bags and a scoop. I saw one last year by camp inforoo, and was wondering if anyone still does this. I always felt they worked out pretty well all things considered, certainly better than some of my Bonnapoo trips to the porta potty have.
*Note
SGASpunday, and the other clean vibes volunteers do not advocate pooping in a old backpack all weekend then leaving it for them to find.
Question: are you responsible for scooping out your own poo? If so, where do you put it?
Pick it up with the scoop, put it in a plastic grocery bag, and take to a trash can. Not enviromentaly friendly but I save the bags anyway and it is not like I poop 30 times at 'roo or anything. A can of lysol is nice to have in there as well.

OK, that's what I thought... but I was unsure if putting it a trash can was ok? I mean, I would be pissed if someone put their poo in bags in a garbage can next to my tent... that would get stinky quickly.

They get emptied pretty often, and the kitty litter does absorb a lot of the odors. That being said I am sure people would appreciate anyone who does this using the trash cans by the porta potties.
I went camping someplace in mississippi where the "outhouse" was a toilet seat attached to a 55 gallon drum, buried half way. Every couple of days, they would come and shovel some dirt on top of the poo. This actually worked really well. when the barrel got 80% full, they would come and swap it out for an empty one. I have no idea, however, what became of the poo dirt.
I just cannot imagine walking a bag of my excrement to the trash can. Not to mention the thin nylon wall between you and your fellow campers. I need more privacy than that!

As a long time reader, I've always wondered about the port-o-pot situation. From everything I've read, it seems that they stay pretty clean just TP-less. Inside Centeroo, what's the potty line like?

Lines don't seem to be the worst problem, it gets a little confusing in the dark when you can't see if the "Occupied" dot is red or green but for the most part the lines move OK. To your other point........clean is not a term I'd use. In 2009 it seemed to be an around the clock effort to keep the port-o-potties serviced. Last year, not so much, bring a small flashlight, some of the units closest to the tents were full to the top and then some. Could be one of the worst surprises of your life if you can't see what you're about to sit on. And, by all means, bring your own TP.

The lines usually aren't too bad, although they're more of a mob than a line, so you just have to be a bit assertive about heading for a recently vacated porto if it seems like it should be your turn.
As for cleanliness....they can and do get disgusting, but they get clean too. If you go into one that's just horrible, then just try another one, try a whole 'nother bank of them, or just wait till a bit later, depending on how, er, urgent the situation is. All things considered they do a fairly good job keeping 'em clean.

i never understood the porta-potties that look like someone went GG allin inside. I get that while on a headful of certain substances one could manage a slight accident.... but seriously, i have seen some Roo johns that even jesus couldn't forgive. the places that feces got to don't even make sense...

this goes back to the headfull of substances....just the ones that make you an obnoxious ass...you know, a boozed up frat boy that thinks he's gonna be funny.

I bet this is the same solider that shot Bin Laden.
