Why we don't have private toilets and showers with tents.

Recently, we have been asked if our tents have private toilets and the answer is no, we are attempting to keep our water consumption down and to live more sustainably. While we cannot, presently, avoid plastic drinking water bottles we can try to control the amount of water being brought to camp.....private toilets lead to much higher water consumption which in turn leads to more frequent trips made by the water truck! Jordan is extremely water-poor and we don't want to add to that any more than is absolutely necessary! Our camp is small and so coping with a shared toilet/shower block is not a problem for travellers who enjoy camping... we are not so many people in one place!

2 western toilets and 2 hot water showers
