Sierra Dawn Classic Campsuds Biodegradable Camping Soap - The Original Camp Dish Soap, Shampoo, Body Wash - Wilderness Wash for Backpacking & Travel, 4 Fl Oz

This shampoo works great! It has a nice scent and creates a good lather that cleans hair thoroughly. It can be a body wash, too. Small bottle, but a little goes a long way. It does dry out your hair a bit as it has no conditioner in it, but that is to be expected as it's meant for short term outdoor use.

I took this soap with me on a 3-day backpacking trip and it was just the right size and weight. It cleaned dishes, pots, and even our hiking clothes easily — a few drops went a long way. I liked how versatile it was: worked for washing dishes, gear, and even as a quick body wash after a sweaty day on the trail. It rinsed clean without leaving sticky residue, and I felt better knowing it’s biodegradable and easy on the environment. All in all, a great little essential for any camping or backpacking kit.

This product reminds me of a product I used to use years ago, salt water soap. The wife and i went on a 3 day camping/sailing trip in our little 17' Windrider. Since this product can be used on everything from body, hair, clothing, dishes, etc, etc...it was worth a try; plus, only needed to pack one soap. We used it for cleaning up the dishes after cooking on the beach. It worked well...but the true test was yet to come. After all the other folks left and we were finally alone on the beach...it was time to shower. Since we camping on the Gulf of Mexico, it is salt water. We took a little swim, then using our swim suits like a washcloth, we lathered up. Making suds with just a few drops is not difficult and it would be easy to use too much of the soap...basically just wasting it. This way, both us and our swim suits would be clean. We did a quick dip back in the water and then gently poured fresh water over us for the final rinse. No more smell...all clean and no sticky residue from the salt water. OK...I'm sold! In October (next month) we are planning a 5 day camping sailing trip in the 10,000 Islands area of the Everglades National Park (along the Gulf of Mexico). We will have our Campsuds packed and ready for use and it will be our only soap. I would happily recommend this to my friends and family that enjoy overnighting in the great outdoors. And for the record...our swimsuits (as mentioned above) were dry the next morning and were completely odorless. Great Product! Thanks.

This is my second international trip to carry this product, and I love it! I use it for showering, to wash my hair, to wash my clothes. It works great! The scent isn't over-powering, it rinses well, and it does the job. This is my go-to camping/travel soap. I came home with more than half of what I took with me. If ordering for international travel, be sure to check the size. I accidentally ordered 4oz. Fortunately, I just used it to refill my 3oz bottle, and I was good to go through security.

Being in the military usually involves periods where you are separated from normal comforts...like nice hot showers, normal food, and real toilets. Many people think that military men and women are used to being filthy and don't perform any kind of hygiene when "in-the-field." Now it's true you get the occasional Private Stank-Ass who refuses to do any type of hygiene and walks around with mud-butt and crusty socks; Most Soldiers, Marines, etc. enjoy the opportunity to clean ourselves when we have the opportunity. After I heard we would be in the field for a few weeks, I decided baby wipes and hand-sanitizer alone wouldn't cut it. My goal was to be the freshest soldier in the field and live up to the nick name my LT gave me...Private Poppin-Fresh. In the past, I've used all sorts of crazy things such as "waterless" body wash and shampoo...Problem is most of these smell like ass. I decided I needed to try a different approach - Real soap and water. Now the problem in the field is you still can't exactly strip down completely naked for a nice, lathery shower, unless you love SHARPS complains and ticks on your junk. I had to use a different approach. I found that by squirting a bit of Campsuds, hand sanitizer, and some extra water into a thing of baby wipes you get instant wash cloths...They actually lather and get you clean. By the way, when I say, "lather", I mean it. This stuff creates a nice lather...not big bubbles, but the smaller ones that get into all the little cracks and crevices. With a bit of water from your canteen or whatever, you can rinse most of it off, and then with a towel (don't forget to bring a towel), you can wipe yourself down and feel fresh fresh. Well that's almost true. In all actuality, you'll have a bit of soap and baby wipe residue left, leaving you feel a little sticky for about a half-hour until you completely dry. In case you're wondering how well this works for shaving...well it depends on your face. No really. For my face, I am unable to shave within 48 hours of my last shave or else I will look like I lost a fight with a weed-whacker. I tried to use this instead of shaving cream, but all I got instead was pain and regret...and blood. To make things worse, the chin-strap of my Kevlar (helmet) was even more irritating to my now skinless chin. Anyways, I digress... The other benefit of such sudsy soap is that you can wash your socks and underwear with very little soap. This is especially good for when you're eating nothing but MRE's and your stinky, paint peeling farts embed themselves into the fabric of your boxers (and space-time). Just a dab of Campsuds and some water to work a nice lather, rinse, and air dry. All in all, this stuff is pretty good. The only reason why it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because I am not too fond of the smell. I wouldn't say it smells bad, but it's certainly not manly like Old Spice. I wish there were different scents that you can chose from. In short, if you're looking to stay fresh in the field, look no further than Campsuds. As long as you have enough water, you're set.

This soap is small and packable, but it's a concentrate so it lasts. It smells fantastic and works well. In the cold or in cold water, you have to use more if washing any cooking dishes that had oils or fats in them. I love the little pop up pour nozzle on the bottle. It prevents spilling and doesn't leak. I will be buying this again when I run out.

I broke this down to smaller bottles while on the trail for convenience. Didn't need to carry the whole bottle but it was cheaper to buy in bulk. As far as the soap; it worked well during camp clean-up on the dishes and utensils. Also used it for clothes in a bucket and hung to dry. Overall, pleased with the product. Plus, its biodegradable.

Great stuff. Useful for so many things.

Used in van camper. Cleaned dishes, washed hands and hair. Worked well. Hopefully it's kind to the environment.

Savon que j’utilise depuis plusieurs années en voyage et en camping. Très efficace pour le corps, vêtements, vaisselles etc. Et ce en très petite quantité.

Ce savon est parfait pour notre douche extérieure. Étant biodégradable, il ne nuit pas à notre environnement et est efficace pour se garder propre apres un effort physique ou en sortant du spa.

I’ve been interior camping for 50 years. I’ve used this for the last 30 or so years. It really does the job and good for washing your hands too.

Product works well for dishes, hand washing, etc. this large bottle is a lot cheaper per ounce than the standard 4 ounce size. Way way too expensive though. I can’t understand how they justify it.
