I thought this might work well for camping.

Turn an empty CD spool into a reusable TP dispenser

[Linked Image from makezine.com]

1 tissue TP of any kind
2 Empty CD Holder (after CD's have all been used)
3 Cut the center of the top of the empty CD Holder (or unscrew spindle) with an exacto knife
4 Take out cardboard center of the TP roll
5 Place TP roll into CD holder and pull center of roll through the top

Add colored/patterned paper to the inside of holder for added effect and to conceal the TP

I'm not sure since I haven't tried it yet. But, you could measure a roll of TP with a tape measure, then go to the store and measure the CD spool to see which size would fit best.
