Get the most out of your camping experience with the Coghlans Solar Heated Camp Shower.Eric B.: I bought one in 2015 and used this one one backpacking trip (mostly for my wife as I'm okay with a little soap, water, and washcloth in the backcountry). It did work really well one day. Filled it up in the afternoon with cold water, and hung it from a tree and it was warm in a couple hours and we both got a refreshing shower. But we noticed that half the water leaked out while it was warming. SO the valve wasn't closing all the way; I did figure a workaround to kink the hose. It's still usable, but the slow leak is undesirable. I'm looking for a higher quality for my next shower kit.

Brittney B.: It’s a really cool idea. It does what it supposed to, but smells weird when you first open it.

Taylor: This was a good purchase, but unfortunately it only lasted 2 camping trips, we tried to hang it up and then a tree branch stabbed right through it, and the water leaked out. However, I wish the material was stronger and more durable, it’s thinner plastic. I would definitely look into something like this but a tad bit different!

William Van Brunt: The "squeeze the hose" clamp is the best one can do with these cheaper level bags. Other models have a lever type valve at the bag (extreamly difficult to use as it is far away from the shower head) and the same type of lever valve ON the shower head. These both involve using two hands to control the water flow, which is either on or off, as no one wants to waste water. A third type I haven't seen around for a while is the showerhead being the valve, as you push/pull the showerhead. That one needs two hands also. Another problem with the lever type valves is they can become gummed up and very difficult to twist. Therefore, after using all types for years, I have to say the clamping type, where the hose is compressed, is one handed, and will not fail. Good design on them.
However, one should know that ALL of the "black" relatively cheap bags have a major flaw, and that is the handle. There are a few different styles, and the vinyl bag will rip around the handle....it happens a lot. The best way to avoid this is to never fill it completely full. Never more than 4 gallons. To make these bags last a long time, get two and never fill them more than with three gallons. The bag...

HeyNonnyNonny: Let's face it. You're at a campsite with no showers, but if you have this thing, you can get clean!
It's not fancy, it's not easy to use, it's not that convenient, 5 gallons of water is heavy and you have to find a place to hang it, gripe gripe gripe, but bottom line is you can get clean!
We used this on a weekend camping trip and, after hiking up a mountain, my husband and I were in so desperate need of a shower that this thing was like a hallelujah chorus sung by 10 feet tall angels all serving caviar, LOL! I washed my hair, I smelled like a person again, I put on clean clothes. It was a miracle!! We live in such an age of luxury that we forget what incredible difference something as simple as a bath can make in a day. This will remind you.
Our campsite was quite shady and the temperature didn't get much over 75F so my husband had to heat some water on the campstove and add it to the cool water in the bag. Other reviewers have said that if the water gets too hot in the sun, you may have to add some cool. Give or take temperature fluctuations while you're camping, you may have to put in extra work. But, bottom line, you can take a shower, you can get clean....
