What do you put your bathroom stuff (shampoo, soap, towel, toothbrush, paste) in when you go to the bathhouse?  Are there any good ideas or products that keep clothes dry and shower stuff accessible while showering?  We haven't seem to have found the right thing.

I use a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle backpack! I pack it full of all of our bathroom supplies and toss a few Walmart bags in it. Then when we split up to shower, I use the Walmart bags to dole out the shampoos, soaps, etc. to everyone..that way the boy isn't dropping his soap on the way TO the bathroom and his undies on his way BACK from the bathroom.

I change into clean clothes and wear flip flops for the trip to the shower house.  The only thing I take with me is a towel and some shampoo/soap combo that DW got that comes in a small bottle.  I brush my teeth and comb my hair in the pup. 

When I was on staff at my Scout Camp the staff area was only 200 yards away from the shower house.  We would just grab our soap and shampoo and wrap a towel around ourselves for the walk to the shower house. 

I have found that the more crap you carry to the shower house the higher the chance that it will fall on the floor and that skeeves me out.    :thumbdown:

I use the bathhouse shower the first night of arrival, carry a canvas tote with two t-shirt style plastic bags in it - one carries soap, shampoo, etc., and the other will get the wet towel/washcloth - clean clothes are in the tote, and after shower, the dirties go in the tote.

I have an over the door shower organizer in the PUP bathroom, so soap/shampoo etc., get put on that for the remainder of the stay.

Same here, but we shower in the Pup more than the facilities.

Now that we have the HTT, we are doing the same.  We didn't have facilities in our old pop up.

We each have a 1 gal (I think) ziplock bag with our toiletries.  It works well for us.

Have one of those canvas tri-fold shaving kits (name on it says "Denali") and has a compartment for a razor, one for the tooth brush & such and another for misc whatervers. This is easy enough to carry to the bathhouse for just shaving or brushing the teeth, but if going there is more serious, like taking a shower and changing clothing, I picked up a cheapie school backpack. The name on it says "Tug" - it has a main zippered compartment for the clothing and towel, a smaller zippered  compartment in the front where I carry the shaving kit, and on each side has a mesh holder where you put the soap container, shampoo and such.

A lot of times (but not always), will have the bike along and it has a front carrying basket where the back pack can ride. If no bike and I have to hoof it, the backpack carrying options are great ... on your back, or just carrying it by the top canvas handle. What I like about the backpack is the shower stalls usually have a hang hook so the backpack is high and dry while I'm wailing around in the water.

We have a few tote bags from a conference that I attended and they work well.
