Sierra Dawn Classic Campsuds Biodegradable Camping Soap - The Original Camp Dish Soap, Shampoo, Body Wash - Wash for Wilderness Backpacking, Camping & Travel, 8 Fl Oz

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 soap has been excellent for camping. It rinses off easily and quickly, it cleans great too. Grease no match for this stuff. We use it for handsoap too which works great for short term, but overuse can lead to dried out hands. Still, this is a must have for washing and cleaning about anything when camping. Beats Dawn hands down because you're not wasting water trying to rinse it off. My only complaint is it's a little overpriced, at least the one I bought.

I used this for a month long trip. I washed my clothes and my hair almost every other day and I still have half a bottle left. It can create Lots of bubbles which I really like and using it to wash hair won't dry my hair out. I usually have oily hair the next day I washed it, but this soap change the game. But since it's not a soap specialized in shampoo making, certain degrees of drying the hair is inevitable. But overall i's a good soap.

Good cleaning product. It gets the job done and is environmentally responsible. It's versatile enough to clean pots and eating utensils, shampoo hair, wash your hands, or bathe with. That means this one small bottle is all you need to carry. It's concentrated enough that you don't need much to get the job done. And it's been around for ages. It's stood up to the test of time with generations of hikers.

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.

I have found that camp suds is great for any number of outdoor activities, hiking, long distance bike rides/camping, hiking/camping etc. I really like the fact that it is environmentally much more friendly than traditional soaps, and that only a few drops of it are necessary to clean me up at any one time. I took it with me to Tough Mudder Ohio to help get me clean after the muddy event and before the long drive home. It worked great.

Camp suds have been a mainstay in my camping box and backpack for many, many years. I don't camp without them. This soap works on clothes, dishes and all parts of your body. I am particularly impressed that it does not leave your hair or face dry and flaky. As others have noted, only a drop or two is needed to do the job. This soap leaves no heavy residue that forces you to use up your water supply. As well, there are no heavy perfumes.

So glad Amazon.ca carries this. Perfect camp soap. Two thumbs way up. Need very little to wash and suds extremely well in warm water. No pesky perfume to attract bugs. Use for dishes, hands, body (though it's quite drying). Dispose in soil, away from water to let it properly decompose.

While I wouldnt clean myself with this prior to a hot date, it most certainly does the job on the campsite. I shower with this in lakes and waterfalls without having to worry about hurting the environment. Ive used it on dishes and clothes, it really does it all

Perfect for the bug out bag

This is an excellent multi-purpose biodegradable soap - especially for camping where you have to bathe outdoors and the soap goes onto the ground or in the lake. I also love the smell of it.

Cleans even tough soot marks (with cloth) but can also use in hair. I’m very allergic to many products and this has never caused me any difficulty.
