Portable shower for vanlife

IF you have tried your hand at camping with kids or vanlife then you will know that not all campsites have great facilities. Sometimes you just need to wash the sand off a paddleboard or if you are camping with a dog, they may have muddy paws to rinse off. We have also enjoyed many a festival with kids in our campervan, and spent many an hour in the queue for the washrooms on site.

We recently found this gorgeous family friendly campsite on the banks of a river with limited facilities. This got me thinking about the different portable shower setups for vanlife and we have found just the answer!!! Here are some of the best portable camper van showers.
