One of the things I've always hated about having curly hair is trying to manage my hair without access to a shower or water.
This means managing my hair when we travel can be very difficult. I can't leave my hair for a few days in between showering. What I end up with is a tangled, matted and horrible mess- when I finally do detangle I'm pulling clumps of hair from my head.
Growing up this made camping also difficult. I remember making sure my dad hauled a shower bag over the entire West Coast Trail to make sure I would be able to wet down my hair and put some conditioner in it.
To this day, one of my only conditions for staying at hotels/ hostels is that they have running water.
Yes, of course 1 day doesn't really hurt.. but 2 days without doing my hair, or "gasp" 3 days.. impossible.
What are your tips for managing curls when traveling or camping?

This summer I went sailing for 1 week, We had a limited water so we had to use the sea water to wash us up. God!! I could only put mask on my "salty" unwashed hair to survive! Was not that bad. Thought would end up with and even dryer hair but was fine.
