There’s something special about small campers.
They’re cheaper, easier to tow, and take less effort to maintain.
Plus, you can fit them in places most other camping trailers would never be able to go (like up Cadillac Mountain!).
But just because you want something small, doesn’t mean you want to give up your bathroom and have to poop in the woods.
I totally get that.
That’s why we found these 8 awesome small campers with bathrooms - so you can have all the benefits of a mini travel trailer, without sacrificing your personal space!
Not Sure Which RV to Buy?
Why not try before you buy? Find the models you're thinking
about, then give them a test run in a cheap & easy RV rental.
Quick note: Different people have different definitions of “small”. So this list includes everything from 11’ micro campers to 22’ travel trailers. You’re bound to find what you’re looking for!
Let’s dive in.
1. 20’9 KZ Spree Escape Mini (A Simple Small Travel Trailer)
Quick Stats
Weight: ~2,850 lbs
Length: 20'9
Width: 96"
Slide outs: 1 (3 With Tent Bed Models)
Click here for the full specs.
The KZ Spree Escape Mini is an ultra lightweight travel trailer. It comes in five different floor plans, which you can check out on their website.
Depending on which model you get, may have a very tight “shit, shower, and shave” type bathroom. (The toilet and shower are all one room, as opposed to being separate.)
However, they do also offer a model with a full bathroom featuring a separate shower and toilet.
2. 13’ The Happier Camper (w/ Dry Flush Toilet and Road Shower Add-ons)
Quick Stats
Dry Weight: 1100 lbs
Length: 13’
Width: 6’11
Slide outs: 0
Click here for the full specs.
Looking for an ultra-cute, ultra-mini camper you can tow with almost anything and take almost anywhere (even on the beach)?
Meet The Happier Camper.
Coming in at just 11’ long and sleeping up to five (although I wouldn’t want to sleep five in it), this is a love child between the found, Derek, and his one true love - small campers.
Here’s a video, if you’re so inclined:
Note: It doesn’t actually come with a built-in bathroom. But you can opt in for a dry flush toilet and a road shower (pictured below). You’ll just need a bathroom tent for privacy.

3. 15’ Cricket Camper (w/ Exterior Shower & Portable Toilet)
Quick Stats
Dry Weight: 1500 lbs
Length: 15'
Width: 6’11
Slideouts: 0 (But the roof pops up)
Click here to see the full specs.
If you’re looking for ultra lightweight travel trailers under 2000 pounds with a bad ass rugged look and feel, the Cricket Camper is for you.
What I like about this camper is that it’s super light weight and short, but has a pop up feature that makes it roomier when you set up camp.
My only gripe is that, like The Happier Camper, Cricket Campers don’t come with a native bathroom. You need a portable toilet and bathroom tent to get your privacy.
On the bright side, unlike The Happier Camper, these small camping trailers come with an external shower that’s built in (if you include the add-on).

4. 21’8 Winnebago Rialta (An Oldie But A Goodie)
Quick Stats
Dry Weight: N/a
Length: 21'8
Width: 6'2
Slideouts: 0
Click here to see the full specs.
Winnebago stopped making the Rialta in 2005, but if you’re on a budget and looking for small campers with bathrooms, it’s an excellent choice. Assuming you can find one, that is.
Here’s the floor plan, if you’re curious:
The nice thing about the Rialta is that, while it’s “small” in that 21 feet isn’t going to keep you out of most spaces, it’s still not a micro trailer like some of the others on this list. There’s some breathing room.
And, of course, a bathroom with a door is always nice.
Test The RV Before You Buy!
Buying an RV is a big purchase. Why not rent the model you're
thinking of buying first so you can make sure it's the right fit for you?
5. 22’6” Sportsmobile Sprinter Extended (For People with Money)
Quick Stats
Dry Weight: 4,641 lbs
Length: 22’6
Width: 6’10
Slideouts: 0
Click here to see the full specs.
Do you dream of being a total badass and driving a mini camper van up mountains, through rivers, and across deserts?
Enter the Mecedes Benz 4x4 Sprinter.
This thing is awesome. It can go almost anywhere. Here’s a video:
Keep in mind that 1) this is a Mercedes, so it’s expensive and 2) the extended version is the only one with a built-in bathroom, and that’s custom-made, so it’s even more money.
But if you have the money and the desire, she’s a beauty.

Length: 14’
Width: 6'8
Slideouts: 0
Click here to see the full specs.
Coming in at just 14’, this is the smallest RV with a shower and toilet built-in (that I’m aware of).
Here’s the floor plan:
The dinette transfers into a bed. As a bonus, it even comes with an oven and fridge! All these features are rare for a micro camper like this.
7. 21'6 Jay Sport (A Pop Up Camper with Class)
Quick Stats
Dry Weight: 2,270 lbs
Length: 21’6 Opened (18’5 Travel Size)
Width: 7’1
Slideouts: 0 (But 2 Pop Outs!)
Click here for the full specs.
The Jay Sport Camping Trailer is one of the classiest pop up campers I’ve ever seen. Just look at the inside of this beauty:
Again, there is no built-in bathroom. But it does have a compartment to store a porta-pottie, and there is an exterior shower. (Again, though, you may want a bathroom tent.)
Finally, here’s a video to see these small travel trailers in action:

Hi, Bill, Kayla & Luna, thanks for thinking of the small RVs lovers! We have a 13ft Scamp trailer, and although we chose not to have a full bathroom and opted for a couch/bunk bed combo instead, it does come with a full bathroom option. Here’s the link that shows the floorplans: https://www.scamptrailers.com/2-site-content/57-13-deluxe-trailer-content.html. Thanks!
Hey, Anette!
That’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
What’s your favorite place to take it? We’re in love with Acadia National Park personally (as you can tell by our review post!)
Our favorite place is everywhere! We drove across country from Richmond, VA to Portland, OR, Northern CA, Washington, Glacier, into Canada, and back again with our little Scamp, all being pulled by a Subaru Forester. You can’t beat that!
Wow, yea!! That’s amazing!! We need to go out west. 🙂
We love our 13′ Scamp. Also opted for no bathroom.
Awesome article, retired teacher here, just dipping my feet in this area and really interested in this lifestyle. The icamp Elite looks amazing, but I don’t think they make it anymore & it seems very few are for sale..Have you looked at ‘Little Guy Max?’ that seems a great option, thank you for providing excellent info. in a variety of areas. Happy Travels!
Hey, Kazamareen!
That’s awesome! Kayla is a former teacher as well. Not retired yet though, just working with me. 🙂
I’ve never heard of Little Guy Max – will have to check it out! Thanks for sharing!
Let us know if you try the lifestyle or have any questions! We’re here to help. 🙂
Thanks for responding so quickly! You both are ‘spring chickens’ compared to me! I’m here in NYC, have only camped a bit many yrs. ago, so this would be a true ‘challenge’ for me, but one I would look forward to learning. I’m putting a link to that ‘Lil Guy Max’ it’s a tad expensive, but might be worth it in the long run. I’ve bookmarked your site, and thank you both again for the awesome articles, I’ve perused some & have bookmarked your site. When ready, I’ll be asking questions!
http://golittleguy.com/lg-max/
No problem at all! Thanks for the link 🙂
I think you’d do just fine! Kayla’s grandpa lives full-time in his RV and he’s in his 70s!
Do you have a youtube channel? If so, I’d like to subscribe. Kayla’s grandpa gives me hope, I can do it too!
Not yet 🙁 But when we do, we’ll let you know!
You got this! 🙂
Given all the info. you have here, you could give that on a video chat on youtube, there are many, many people like me I’ve found, just searching for info, I’m passing on your link to people I’ve encountered searching for advice/instruction. pls. think about it! Seriously, if you start a channel pls. email, I’ll be your first subscriber! YOU GOT THIS!, I know it’s not an ideal venue, but you & your wife should be compensated for all the work you put into this! God Bless & thanks for the encouragement,
[email protected]
Aww, thank you! I definitely will!
Are you on our email list?
No, I must have somehow ‘missed’ that, but will def. join!
We just got a Skyline Layton M140 (it’s a 2011, not sure if they’re still mfd) but it’s got a toilet & bath/shower. Just over 15’ long, 7’ wide & around 2000 lbs. Tiny, but packed with goodness. Can’t wait to take it on the road! 🙂

Looks like a blast!! Let us know how you like it. 🙂
Thanks for the article, but some of the entries don’t seem to belong. It says with bathroom. I can go out and get a portable toilet and put it in any camper. What we’re really looking for is an actual toilet in something small.
Hey, Wil!
Sorry you feel that way. Four out of the seven have bathrooms built in, and Julie below shared another (the Skyline Layton M140) as a fifth option. We’ll also be updating this soon with more options.
Hope that helps! Cheers -Bill
Too many 2,000 lb plus campers as light weight, I suggest manufacturers look at Europe campers for weight, where small cars are the norm, gas sky high, most cars these days have a $1,500 to $2,000 weight tow limited. Look at the Europe campers of the 60-70s. What I want is a bed, small sink to wash hands, toilet, wet shower, period. No cabinets, maybe net storage hanging hooks used on boats, no ovens, no flat screen TVs, etc, etc, no access weight, no cabinet works.
I can cook outside or forage for food, we sometimes just stop off at a WallyMart, roasted chicken, potato salad, if raining. I want a small stripped motel room. I might install a dorm room refrigerator, small AC, but that is it. Better yet for beds how about camping nylon hammock supports for two? This includes extra hook up points to anchor one end to the camper and a tree for out door hanging.
Oh, I don’t want to pay $10,000. Oh it comes with a time share price.
Scamp makes a 13′ Fiberglass camper with a toilet/shower room. You give up bunkbeds for the bathroom-still sleeps 2. The 16′ version can have a bathroom plus bunks. Both are pretty lightweight & reasonably priced. They are made to order in their factory in Minnesota, with a long wait time- but you can sometimes find used ones for sale. They go fast. Casita also makes similar small campers.
