A camping porta potty in Evanston runs 150 to 500 dollars a week for a standard unit, or 100 to 350 dollars a day if you only need it for a weekend trip. Evanston Porta Pros sets up at campsites, group outings and lakefront gatherings with units small enough to tuck beside a tent line.
Most camping groups do fine with one standard porta potty rental. A standard unit measures about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and stands roughly 92 inches tall, so it fits on a gravel pad or a mowed clearing without needing a poured pad. The tank holds 60 to 70 gallons, which covers a weekend for a family group or a small scout troop without a mid-trip service call. If you are hosting more than a dozen campers, look at a second unit rather than stretching one tank past ANSI/PSAI Z4.3's baseline service interval of once a week for 10 users over a 40 hour stretch. That standard exists for job sites, but it is a fair gut check for a weekend outing too. For groups that want something nicer than a standard box, the deluxe flushable porta potty adds a flush mechanism and a larger interior, and it rents for 150 to 290 dollars a week. Anyone camping with a wheelchair user or a mobility limit should ask about the ADA accessible porta potty, which meets ADA Standards 304.3.1 for a 60 inch turning circle and ADA Standards 404.2.3 for a 32 inch door opening. Delivery within Evanston typically runs a separate line item, and driving distance matters if your campsite sits toward Wilmette, 4.1 miles northwest, or further out near Glenview, 9.3 miles west. Check the porta potty rental cost page for how delivery fees stack against the unit rate before you book.
Yes, if anyone is cooking or handling food at the site. A portable sink rental or a standalone handwashing station rental pairs with almost every camping order we run in Evanston, and both are built as a portable sink with a water tank rather than tapping into a hose bib. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities to include soap and towels or a hand drying device, not just sanitizer, and that rule is a good baseline even for a private campsite. A basic hand sanitizer station rental works as a backup near the fire pit or picnic tables, but it does not replace a real sink for anyone prepping food. If your group includes contractors setting up staging or working with paint or coatings before an event, the washing requirement under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) kicks in specifically for that contaminant exposure, not for general camping use. Groups running a full weekend base camp sometimes add a shower trailer rental or step up to a restroom trailer rental with a 2-stall or 4-stall layout, particularly for reunions or multi-family trips near Northbrook, 12.2 miles northwest of Evanston. Check the monthly porta potty rental option if your camp runs a season rather than a weekend, since the per-day rate drops once you commit past a week.
One standard unit covers roughly 10 to 15 campers for a weekend, based on the same service-interval logic ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 uses for weekly job site visits. Larger group camps, family reunions or scout jamborees should scale up using the same table OSHA applies to construction crews under 1926.51(c): one toilet for 20 workers or fewer, then additional fixtures as headcount climbs past that. It is not a perfect match for recreational camping, but it is the only standardized ratio available, and our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the math for group sizes above 20. Families running a single tent site rarely need more than one unit and a portable sink station. Larger outfitted camps, especially ones running for a full week along the lakefront in Evanston, should also plan on a level, stable surface for placement. ADA Standards 302.1 calls for stable, firm, slip-resistant ground even outside formal ADA contexts, and it is good practice for keeping any unit from settling into soft turf. If you are unsure where to place units relative to tents, cooking areas and fire pits, our porta potty placement guide covers clearance and wind direction. Cold-weather campers should also check porta potty in winter before booking a late-season trip.
A standard unit runs 100 to 350 dollars for a single day, 130 to 500 dollars for a full week, and delivery is usually billed separately at 50 to 150 dollars for a week-long rental. Weekend-only bookings fall in the 125 to 400 dollar range depending on unit type.
Yes. A standard unit is the right size for most weekend campers and rents by the day or the weekend rather than requiring a full week. Ask about weekend pricing specifically since it differs from the day rate and the week rate shown on our porta potty rental per day page.
Placement on private land generally does not require the same review as public right-of-way work, but confirming with the City of Evanston is worth doing before delivery. See porta potty permit requirements for what to check.
For groups over 15 or so, pair two standard units or step up to a portable restroom rental trailer setup. Add a portable sink or handwashing station so food handling stays separate from restroom traffic, especially over multi-day stays.
For stays longer than a weekend, yes. A shower trailer rental makes multi-day camps far more livable, particularly for family reunions or scout events where kids and adults are outside all day and want to rinse off before dinner.
