Sierra Dawn Campsuds Biodegradable Camping Soap with Insect Deterrent Citronella, Lavender, Peppermint Oils - Camp Dish Soap, Shampoo, Body Wash

I got this because I was going camping at a site that didn't have any showers/running water. The only place that I could "bathe" and "clean" was in the lake and I of course didn't wanna use bad soaps for fear of harming wildlife. This soap did a good job keeping me clean and small utensils/dishes clean. It sudded well and didn't seem to leave any nasties in the water. I loved the smell too, but it definitely did not deter any mosquitos at all. I know that it's not meant to be a repellant, but it didn't help either. Overall, good to keep myself and belongings clean and smells good.

Great product that I'm still using. Smells great as an added bonus.

I use it on long camping trips in lakes or rivers. I've used it for hair, skin, and clothing at it works great for all. Also smells great. No it's not as good as shampoo, soap, and laundry detergent and a washing machine but it's great as a biodegradable 3 in 1. I also tried using it as bug repellant, it does not work for that. I'll save you the long story but I had a night in hell sleeping outside because of mosquitos. I made tent with a tarp just big enough to fit my face and poured campsuds all over myself and my pillow and it did nothing to keep mosquitos out. As a biodegradeable cleaning agent it gets 5/5 though.

This claims to be a concentrated soap and while you do get suds with just a small amount used, it doesn’t remove oils and grime as well. I used about 1/2 teaspoon per liter of water and that seemed to work pretty good. Smells really nice and it does work for most things, though I don’t recommend it for hair unless you really need to.

Just spent two weeks in Utah in the green river. Needless to say, it was a filthy dirty trip. This was an excellent multi purpose soap. Smells amazing and in general just helped you feel a little better after sweating and being in dirty water all day. If you have long hair, you definitely will need some conditioner later, but overall did an awesome job. This was also great to scrub clothes and helped fight off some nasty mosquitos and deer flies.

Have used it for showering and washing dishes when camping. A little bit goes a long way, and has a pleasant fragrance to it.

Used this on my trip to SE Asia last May where the mosquitoes were in full bloom. It helped me just have a base layer of protection against them and was easy to have on hand. It’s concentrated so lasted me the entire month with me using it every day.

I needed some kind of citronella body wash because I live in Florida and I have a body chemistry that just attracts no-see-ums and other bugs that bite me constantly. This has helped immensely. I wish it came in a bigger container but these smaller ones seem to last awhile. The smell is different but not unpleasant. I use it in conjunction with citronella essential oil that I put in my lotion and have seen a huge difference in the amount of bites I get. Definitely recommend. One caveat: if you don't shower every day it's less effective. The citronella essential oil I use is helpful then.

Probably my naivety but I assumed you could use this in a lake. Right in nature, turns out you have to dig a hole and use it separately from the water source . Found this out too late. I was already camping and hadn’t brought a shovel. Luckily I hadn’t used it yet but just putting this here for future shoppers
