Perry Lakes Bathrooms | Marion | Alabama

Here's an amazing project that was taken by Rural Studio, an undergraduate program at Auburn University, in 2003. A program that helps people, their communities, and offers its students the opportunity to showcase their creative genius.
My professor directed me towards this site while helping me focus in on my design concepts and ideas for the Jump the Gap contest.

The View
"Following the materials palette of the pavilion at Perry Lakes, the students designed three unique toilet "experiences". The first is a fifty-foot "Tall toilet"; the second is the "Long toilet" with 2 cantilevering walls that capture and frame a tree; the third is known as the " Mound toilet" captured in the earthen septic  system of the bathroom complex." - Rural Studio - Auburn University

A room with a view.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with 'human meets bush' situations but this might offend the family of four enjoying their Sunday afternoon at Coopers Rock, WV.
Although you may be disappointed in cutting your Man vs Wild experience a little short, Johncrawlerz scoped out the next best thing:

As a friend of mine and I tried to find the restrooms at Coopers on a fall afternoon, we were informed that the toilets were closed for the season and had to redirect toward 'the pit toilets below the road'; Two unisex windowless outhouses with quite the view and  vintage screens to frame it all.
