If I were camping, I would do what Tyler suggested, and bring my electric with. I can get 2 good headshaves out of it before needing a charge.

Only going to be for a couple days, and though will be at an established campsite,  theres no facilities other than a latrine style toilet. Assuming that is that i can get into the site i want. Plan on going to northern arizona, the mogollon rim area where theres lots of free campsites, the one i have in mind i visited last oct, just before it got too cold in the area to camp, and even then, there were several other campers there, mostly in travel trailers whereas i was in a tent, but u get the point

A lot of variables here.  I went camping for 4 nights 2 weeks ago and brought along my atx with a few extra carts, small can of barbasol, witch hazel in a small spray bottle, and a small bottle of after shave.  Now I was at a KoA and had easy access to a shower, sink, and toilet. You can always combine your witch hazel and after shave in one spray bottle to reduce steps and packing items and swap out whatever you lather with for a bottle of shave secret oil.  If I were actually camping for real I wouldn't bother with an actual head shave by blade.  If it was 2 days or less I would just shave the morning of before leaving, if it's 2 days + then I would probably just bring a cheap electric foil shaver so I can keep it close without the hassle.  You can go to walmart and get the low end rechargeable remington foil shaver for like $15-$20.  It's not the best out there but it works just fine for the price and will keep your head smooth enough for these situations.  It's also great to have as a travel back up so you don't have to hog the bathroom and water at a friend/family members house as well as can shave on a plane/bus if needed.  I'm not a huge fan of the electrics but honestly it's a great idea to have one around.  If it helps I'm also BBC with very thick coarse curly hair, to the point that I could shave twice a day to stay mostly smooth and this works fine for me when I need it.

Thanks for the advice guys. Its only going to be a short trip, 3 days and 2 nights, including travel time. The spot i want to camp is only about a 2 hour drive for me, so that should give me plenty of time relaxing and getting in tune with nature. As for what to do about shaving, my significant other and i share an electric when needed (he is not sly, usually only uses the clipper attachment to trim up his facial hair in preparation to shave, as what he likes to do is let it grow out until it bothers him then shave smooth), so i think ill take that along and use the foil shaver attachment

If it's not an extended camping, I won't mind about shaving. I would be more worried about what equipment I should bring with me, like tent, stove or if the place is safe etc. I can shave when I get back home anyway.
