What Is The Best Shower Tent Floor?

By Lisa Hobbie Created: April, 2021 - Modified: November, 2023

Sometimes one of the things that turns people off from camping is the “roughing it” aspect, specifically, the inability to keep oneself clean and hygienic. There are certainly no bath tubs or permanent showers at most rustic campsites, and this may be a deterrent for some. However, if you have a portable or pop-up shower tent, that potential camping con goes away, and the ability to shower and clean up is now a reality. This instant shower provides privacy in a portable little room that is a favorite accessory for many campers.

If you have a DIY shower tent to accompany you on your outdoor adventure or camping trip, you may be wondering what the best flooring for the tent would be. You will want to select a product that is lightweight, portable, comfortable, and slip resistant. It should also allow for excellent drainage.
