I have heard that there are toilets that do not require a drain pipe to
the sewer or septic, and dont need water to flush them. I'm looking for
something like that for a cabin which is only used a couple weeks a
year. What are the options?
I should add to this that I dont want a large unit since the cabin is
small. I also dont have a basement so anything that needs to go under
the floor wont work. I'd perfer something that is portable and movable.

Yea, I know they make camping toilets that are nothing but a 5gal
plastic pail with a molded seat on top and plastic bags in the pail. I
bought one, they work but I'd prefer something a little more advanced
and much less smelly.

Or gas fired.

A friend has a gas fired incinerating toilet and it worked well. A tiny bit
of ash residue was left. No odor, no problems.

I've dropped a pager in a toilet by accident before. ^_^

I'd build an outdoor privy (and equip each bedroom with a chamber pot).

A little smelly, but it would add an adventuring spirit to your two-weeks in
the woods. It would certainly be a memorable event for any visitors you had.
Heck, this country is populated by millions who've never used an outdoor
toilet.

Recapture the past. Live like your ancestors. Be a pioneer - if only for two
weeks.

This is important: don't forget the moon-sliver cut-out on the door !

You don't need a door.

The best out house I ever used was really an *out* house. No building, just
a short wall and a seat on a box over a pit. The seat looked out over a
valley with a beautiful view. The short wall gave you privacy from behind,
which is how others would approach the facility. If they saw someone
sitting there, they would walk away or wait patiently from a distance.

The camp also had a regular outhouse for inclement weather or for shy
folks. Most people, male, female, young and old, loved using the open air
facility on beautiful days and nights.

Boy Scouts and Soldiers know how to dig a Latrine.

60 miles from nowhere my bride learned to pee in the dirt.

I saw similar unit on survival preppers. The bag was sealed after using.
Close quarters !!
