...When we were there last Feb there were "poo holes" very near to, and even IN the campsite. Not very happy about that, as I managed to pitch my tent right beside one (it was old, but still).
I am so getting sick of people who take their toilet break on or near tracks and by the edge of lakes and streams. Sadly there are still people on these forum who believe that carrying a trowel is a luxury not a necessity. It does not matter whether you want to urinate or defecate, please walk 100 metres away from the track and away from any stream (or lake), dig an eight inch deep whole and cover it when finished. Don't urinate on plants, for many plants this will kill them (especially true in alpine areas).
Next time you go to the toilet in the bush, just imagine 20 or even 50 other people doing the same thing in the same spot. Then imagine sleeping there.
