Why Choose a Pop up Camper?
Pop up campers are the ideal solution if you’re tired of packing up a wet tent but you’re not quite ready to invest in a larger motorhome or travel trailer. Their small, portable profiles open up into surprisingly spacious trailers packed with more than you might imagine possible.
Plus, most pop up campers can be towed by an SUV or a small truck, making them much more accessible for new RVers. Picking a pop up camper with a cassette toilet or a wet bath can turn what would be an overnight trip into a summer-long adventure.
Travelers all over are catching on to this trend, and pop up campers with bathrooms are in greater demand than ever before. RV manufacturers are responding by innovating in new and exciting ways, offering a massive range of tent campers tailored to various camping and outdoor lifestyles.
The Bathroom Types in Pop up Campers with Bathrooms
Not all pop up camper bathrooms are created equal. So let’s take a look at the different bathroom designs you’ll find in pop up camping trailers:
Dry Bath
If you’re unfamiliar with wet camper bathrooms and have only used standard, residential restrooms, you’re used to dry bathrooms. The sink and shower are separate from the recirculating toilet or cassette toilet, keeping it dry, along with the other areas in the bathroom like shelves or cabinets.
Dry baths are generally more common and preferred in larger RVs. Unfortunately, they require a lot of space, and when it comes to pop up tent trailers, space is everything. That’s why many pop up campers sacrifice the luxury of a dry bath for the space-saving benefits of a wet bath.
Wet Bath
The wet bath is more common in most pop up campers with bathrooms. In a wet bath, the entire restroom fits inside the shower, allowing it to fit in the footprint of a small shower cubicle.
The downside is comfort and convenience. Showering with a toilet isn’t the most luxurious experience, and stepping into puddles to use the restroom after someone showers isn’t very fun.
Also, you’ll need to make sure everything in the bathroom is waterproof. Since the entire bathroom gets wet with shower use, even toilet paper can’t be left in the open. Some campers have features to negate this difficulty, like watertight cabinets and enclosed toilet paper access.
Most travelers limit the quantity and length of their showers for obvious reasons. So if you don’t plan to use the shower very often, a wet bath might not be a hassle. If you’re not sure if you’d like a wet bath, try one out.
Rent a pop up camper with a wet bathroom for the weekend and see how it goes.
Curtained Baths
Some bathrooms in pop up trailers with cassette-style toilets, particularly dry baths, are fully enclosed. This means they are in separate rooms like normal bathrooms. Others use a curtain to partition the space.
When camping, privacy is already at a minimum, but some people just can’t do their business with only a curtain to rely on. This choice really comes down to personal preference and what you’re comfortable with.
Portable Toilets
Some people won’t enjoy using a portable cassette toilet, when it comes to dry camping they can be a serious game changer. If you really only need or want a portable cassette toilet in your pop up camper, you might not see the need for a dedicated bathroom at all.
Porta potties can sit in a fixed position, behind a curtain or other partition. They can also be mobile, which gives you the ability to find a more natural setting to do nature’s bidding.
A cassette toilet is a portable toilet with a removable portable waste storage tank, which you can safely dump out at an RV dump station. This is a great option for buyers who can’t stomach dedicating so much precious floor space to a room that will only be used for a few minutes each day.
Outdoor Showers
If a portable cassette toilet suits your needs, but you’d love the ability to shower on the road, an outdoor shower could be ideal. Typically affixed to the side or roof rack of your camper, they can include pop-out awnings and privacy curtains.

Forest River introduced the Rockwood Freedom line of pop up campers with bathrooms with the goal to offer quality trailers in a price range that allows almost anyone to consider a new adventure.
When we weighed the builds and the costs of these models, it was clear they deserved the first spot on our list.
Stepping into just about any model in the Forest River Rockwood Freedom line, you might have to remind yourself that you’re standing in a pop up camper. Designed to look and feel like a standard trailer, these pop up campers with bathrooms expand to create an incredible amount of room and foster a comfortable environment.
The Forest River Rockwood Freedom line offers four total floorplans, the 1940F, 1980, 2318G, and the 2514F. All floor plans include enough sleeping capacity for at least four travelers, making these ideal for couples or small families.
However, only two of those floor plans offer bathroom facilities. The 2318G offers an optional wet bath, which is situated immediately to the right when you enter the door. The 2514F floorplan comes with a portable RV toilet as a standard option, and that RV toilet is located under a section of the gaucho bed.

Forest River Rockwood High Wall Series Pop Up Campers with Bathrooms
RV Specs
- Closed Length: 19’3” to 21’3”
- Open Length: 25’9” to 27’9”

Rockwood has another line of pop up campers with bathroom facilities: their High Wall series of tent trailers, also known as hard-sided pop up campers.
These campers are a slight upgrade from the Freedom line, providing more privacy, upgraded appliances, additional counter space, and other amenities that you might only expect to find in a traditional, non-pop-up trailer.
Both of the floor plans (HW277 and HW296) have rather generous wet bathrooms, as well as king-sized beds and spacious kitchens and living areas.
Discover the available floorplans for the Rockwood High Wall Series.
The difference between the two models mostly lies in the main room. The HW277 floor plan With offers an impressively spacious kitchen, but does so by reducing the overall living and sleeping space.
The Forest River HW296 floorplan splits the space more evenly to create a more modest kitchen as well as a small living area with a sofa to allow you to sleep a larger family – or have more room to relax on rainy days.
Both floorplans include an outdoor griddle, but the Forest River HW277 also offers a slide-out outdoor kitchen with a two-burner propane cooktop. That makes this unit an absolute dream for those planning to do a lot of cooking on the road.

While being able to close down camp into an easily towed box is a huge benefit for some, it’s actually a downfall for others. When you finally make it to camp after driving all day, the last thing you want to do is spend an hour setting up your RV.
Coachmen introduced the Clipper Classic series of pop up campers with bathrooms to relieve just that.
With aerodynamic profiles and a patented Glide n’ Lock bed system, these campers were designed to set up and take down effortlessly and fast. This can be an absolute lifesaver if you find yourself setting up camp in pouring rains or worse.
Not only has Coachmen made these campers a breeze to set up and take down, but they’ve designed almost every one of its functions around convenience, comfort, and ease of use.
If you pack every day on your camping trip with hikes, climbs, and other adventures, coming home to a comfortable and stress-free camper can make a world of difference.
The Clipper Classic unit includes one layout with a wet bath/shower combination. It also features king and queen-sized insulated flip-up bunks, a pop-out dinette, a kitchen, a convertible couch, and ample storage.
That includes more than enough room for even a family of 6 or more to sleep comfortably, and it uses the bunks and pop out to truly make the most out of the small space.
Outside, you can also take advantage of the exterior mount and LP quick-connect for setting up your outdoor grill. There’s also a unique under-bunk storage system that allows you to clear the interior living space of unnecessary clutter while you’re in camp.

The great news – you’ll have a super comfortable camper with full wet bath to camp in style when you get there. That bathroom includes a shower, sink, and recirculating toilet that empties into the trailer’s 10-gallon black tank (so you don’t have to deal with a portable waste storage tank).

TrailManor 3124 Series Pop up Campers with Bathroom
RV Specs

- Open Length: 31’
- Hitch Weight: 434 to 490 pounds
- Dry Weight: 3,140 to 3,200 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: 4-7
The TrailManor 3124 Series is a unique hard-sided pop up camper that expands up and out when you reach your destination. There are three total floorplans, but all feature a full dry bath with shower, tub, sink, and recirculating toilet.
Because it’s not an A-frame camper, it’s one of the few pop up campers that allows you to upgrade to an exterior awning for shade in treeless campsites.
It’s equipped with a 40-gallon fresh water tank and an on-demand water system that provides water to the shower, sinks, and toilet. It also includes a city water hookup, GFCI receptacles, and a 30-gallon grey tank.
In addition to the full dry bath, the interior features a 78” x 78” king bed in all floorplans. But you can opt for a rear dinette, rear bed and couch bed, or sofa bed, depending on how much sleeping capacity you need.
The kitchen includes marble-style countertops, a three-burner stove and oven, and a three cubic-foot refrigerator. The interior monitoring panel allows you to check tank capacities and set climate control using the unit’s 20,000-BTU furnace.
Adding the awning is great for hot-weather camping, but you’ll also want the optional low-profile roof-mount air conditioner. One of this trailer’s most unique features is the ability to add a swinging hitch that reduces its overall storage length by two feet.
Other optional features include a rear hitch receiver for bike racks, a 95-watt solar panel, an LP quick connect for an outdoor grill, and a hanging LCD TV mount.
