The only places i have seen this facility is in the outer Hebrides. There is only 1 organized private campsite on the islands on Benbecula, all other camping is 'wild camping with consideration' as advised by tourist info. The islands are geared up for wild camping and a leaflet showing where toilet/porta-loo disposal facilities/water is available for campers is available from tourist info centers. It's high time that these facilities were more available elsewhere.

TBH i have emptied my camping one in a portacabin toilet block at a show as there was nowhere else. it is only toilet duck and wee so it is no different to sitting on the loo yourself.

As we use an old peanut butter tub for't bog with nowt but the bodily product in it - we just flushit in a loo.
If its just wee then it goes in the bushes just as if you were having a "country wee"- If poo too - then we wait till we find a loo. This is the advantage of chemical free toilets. And no it doesn't smell as you wash it out when you can - and it has a good fitting lid when you can't.
Tis funny at campsites when the Motorhomers are wandering round with their wheeled poo and chemical containers looking for disposal - we have a subtle little white plastic pot with a lid......
