If you have wall space and don’t mind putting some holes in, these are a hassle free option for your cat. For those who prefer to avoid any installation, I found a cute foldable scratcher/tower combo!

Cat tents are great for letting your cat get some fresh air at the campground while still being contained and safe from predators. The most popular cat tent is the Outback Jack Cat Enclosure.

Make sure to get a harness specifically designed for a cat to ensure a proper fit and safe experience – I love this cat harness that has a soft, but supportive mesh design.

You could use a spare plastic litter box, or bring your fancy one you use at home, but the most convenient litter box to use on the road is a zip top! This leak proof litter box zips, collapses down, and is a pretty reasonable price.
