Do you want a privacy enclosure for your outdoor shower? This pop-up solar shower tent sets up in seconds (literally!), plus it can hold a 4-gallon sun shower bag.
Advantages of Having a Pop-Up Shower Tent:
Whether you are camping, at the beach or on the road, you can pretty much set up your own private shower whenever you want.
Not to mention, you can use this showering tent as an instant bathroom for a toilet, changing stall or shaded area. No need to figure out how to set up a privacy screen.
The mesh roof allows for plenty of ventilation, so you don’t end up with a muggy, humid environment within the tent. At the same time, the water repellent fabric keeps water out in rainy weather (top rain fly also included).
(Although not 100% waterproof, this lightweight, fast-drying water-repellent material does that job for average users.)
In addition, this tent comes with a removable base mat. Therefore, you don’t get our feet all muddy while showering, and you can rinse off the mat when you finish.
Shower Tent Setup Instructions:
When you are camping, you don’t want to have gear that requires a lot of work to assemble. As I mentioned above, setup literally takes seconds (you just the throw the pop-up into the air). See what I mean in the diagram below:
Then, the portable shower enclosure folds down just as quickly as it opened. Plus, you can transport in its included carrying bag to prevent it from flying open unexpectedly. =)
This ultra-lightweight showering tent may seem flimsy. However, the high-quality design provides a surprisingly sturdy structure.
For example, the steel frame creates a strong, rigid backbone while still allowing the tent to stay under 5 lbs. In addition, the galvanized finish prevents corrosion in wet conditions.
Furthermore, this package also includes 4 stakes. Therefore, you can secure the enclosure to the ground for additional stability on windy days.
How Does a Shower Tent Work?
You can use these versatile, portable enclosures in various ways. That said, here are 2 options that are very popular if you want a tent with a shower…
1. Use a Hanging Sun Shower:
Situate your shower tent next to a tall tree branch, structure or beside your RV. Next, hang the shower bag from a branch or hook outside the tent. Then, feed the hose through the upper ventilation window so you can use the sprayer inside.
2. Use a Shower Bag with a Foot Pump:
With a pressurized shower bag, like the Nemo Helio, you can take the entire unit inside the pop-up tent. You can hang the spray nozzle handle on the clothesline while lathering up, etc..
Compared to using a hanging solar pouch, this alternative doesn’t limit you as to where to set up your tent. Plus, it can take less time to arrange.
Check out this video review below. You can see how easily this pop-up enclosure sets up. Plus, you’ll see how to fold the entire canvas in under 30 seconds.
The Best Shower Tent for Camping Under $40:
This folding shower enclosure also comes with a couple of cool built-in features that make it an even better value.
First of all, one wall has a handy pocket large enough to hold toiletries. Therefore, you don’t have to juggle a bunch of small items in your hands while trying to shower at the same time.
Second, the opposite wall features a clothesline. So, you have a convenient spot to hang up your towel or wet clothes when you’re done bathing.

- Where to Buy the Shower Tent
Note: In my opinion, this solar shower/tent set-up works beautifully for car camping or traveling in a campervan. And for the price, you can’t beat it.
First of all, you don’t have to incur the cost of a water heater, water pump or drainage system. For less than $100, you can set up a really cheap solar shower that is also user-friendly.
Secondly, your shower and tent pack down into the size of a small backpack when not in use. Talk about a space-saving portable bathroom!
Alternatively, you can spend more money (about twice as much) on a sturdier shower “tent 2 room” that has an interior ceiling hook.
This style of portable enclosure requires more time and effort to set up. However, you can hang a 4-gallon solar sun shower inside the tent itself.
Plus, the package comes with 4 wind ropes to keep the structure ultra secure and stable.
In addition, Ozark makes a 2-room instant shower if you need a larger space.
