Sinks for every camping style
For backpackers and minimalists, foldable silicone or TPU sinks are the first choice: extremely lightweight, compact to store and ready for use in seconds. For campers with motorhomes or caravans, larger washbasins with stable support, integrated drain and robust plastic are ideal – they can also be used as an outdoor sink for dishes.

Foldable sinks & outdoor washbasins
A particular focus is on foldable sinks that can be folded up compactly and take up little storage space. These models are available in various sizes and are suitable not only for camping holidays but also for use on the balcony, in the garden shed or as a mobile washing option at events. Robust outdoor washbasins with a fixed basin and drain function complement the range and offer a comfortable solution for longer stays outdoors.
The category is ideal for camping fans, motorhome travellers, trekking enthusiasts and outdoor lovers in Switzerland who are looking for a mobile washing option on the go. At the same time, garden owners, festival visitors and balcony users will also find a practical solution for places without a fixed water connection. From the minimalist folding basin to the full-fledged camping sink, there is a suitable washbasin for every purpose.
Quality, material & durability
When buying a camping sink, it's worth paying attention to high-quality materials such as TPU, silicone or robust plastic as well as careful workmanship. Key factors are waterproofness, tear resistance and easy cleaning – so the sink remains reliable and hygienic even after frequent use. Also look for stable support and non-slip bases so the basin stands securely even on soft ground.
Frequently asked questions
Which camping sink is suitable for outdoor use?▾
For outdoor use, foldable sinks made from robust, waterproof materials such as TPU or silicone are especially suitable. Models from brands like Sea to Summit, Brunner or Outwell are lightweight, compact to store and specifically designed for mobile use when camping, hiking or at festivals.
What is the difference between a foldable sink and a camping washbasin?▾
A foldable sink is particularly lightweight and can be folded flat so it takes up hardly any space in a backpack. A camping washbasin, on the other hand, is usually somewhat larger and more stable, often with an integrated drain, and is better suited for washing dishes at the campsite or at the motorhome. Both versions are available at Emparo and complement each other ideally depending on the intended use.
Which materials are particularly durable for outdoor sinks?▾
Camping sinks made from reinforced TPU, silicone or high-quality plastic are particularly durable. These materials are resistant to tears, UV radiation and temperature fluctuations. Brands like MSR and Sea to Summit rely on durable materials that retain their shape and watertightness even with intensive use.
How do I clean and care for a camping sink correctly?▾
After each use, the sink should be rinsed with clean water and air-dried before being folded or stored away. For stubborn dirt, mild soapy water can be used. Aggressive cleaning agents and scouring pads should be avoided, as they could damage the waterproof coating.
Are there camping sinks with an integrated drain?▾
Yes, some models feature a practical integrated drain with a stopper, so the water can be drained in a controlled manner after washing or rinsing. Such sinks are particularly comfortable on longer camping trips and when used at a motorhome or caravan. Brands like Dometic or Brunner offer corresponding models.
What size should a sink for a camping holiday be?▾
The ideal size depends on the intended use: for personal washing and small dishwashing tasks, compact folding bowls with a volume of around 5 to 10 litres are sufficient. If you want to wash dishes for several people or use the basin as a camping sink, you should choose larger models with 12 to 20 litres. Many manufacturers specify the capacity and dimensions so you can select the right size for your camping equipment.
Are camping sinks also suitable for the garden or balcony?▾
Absolutely. Many outdoor sinks and folding bowls are also excellent for the home garden, balcony or as an outdoor sink for barbecues and garden parties. They are a space-saving solution when there is no fixed water connection and can easily be stored away after use.
How do I transport a camping sink in a space-saving way?▾
Foldable camping sinks can be folded or rolled up compactly and transported in a supplied storage bag or simply in a backpack. Even larger plastic washbasins from many brands are designed to be stackable or nestable. This means the equipment takes up very little storage space in the car, motorhome or tent porch.
