Pouring urine on the ground is not going to get you fined, Don't dump it in a camp site .
The compost is another issue, there are plenty of pit toilets around the world.
Here in the US it can definitely get you fined if someone brings it to authorities attention. It's considered Black Water content. Granted one person Piss in the woods in various places may be no big deal if not near streams etc... but 50+ people pissing in the same spot over a 5min period is about same as dump of collection bottle. That's a bit different. A bit more concentrated and harder for momma earth to filter out esp. if piss in the bucket contains reminance of antibiotics, heart medication, or any other meds the person(s) pissing in the container have passing from their bodies.

Maybe consider pouring it out not all in one spot? or as mentioned burn it off in exhaust...... guess could drip it off as you drive off road too. Guess one could do same with grey water* as well (again though you could get fined if caught) But.... no matter how you do it.... no where near streams where it can run off to them. The meds in our bodies mess with fish, fish food etc.

Just a .02 bit of info to mull over.

*in many places if your kitchen/cook sink is attached to Gray Water storage....... then it is NOT Gray any longer. It's BLACK.

Hiya

This shop in the UK has been very helpful to me but no connection otherwise, and have a mini urinal I hope to be fitting in our camper. http://www.eco-toilets.co.uk/shop/waterless-urinal/
.
Although theres nothing much wrong with wide mouth nalgene bottles, and a Shewee as appropriate.
.
The above shop also sells spare buckets with very good lids for the Separett toilet I bought (which doesn't have a stirrer unlike other designs) if you wanted to DIY http://www.eco-toilets.co.uk/shop/solid-waste-container-including-lid-1098-02/

...The urinal is similar in size to those in public gents toilets, ....This model is only suitable for men....

There are devices designed for females. One pictured is from a pharmacy. There are several types. That one is more for standing while others the collection bottle is placed different because they are more for sitting. http://go-girl.com/what-is-gogirl/ This one is for standing. Either way Add a hose or??? to this and hang next to your urinal... or add no hose and poor into your Man urinal when done. You'll likely have to have a way to clean it hanging there too. Otherwise many woman jump into the iiiick factor. In fact you better let the woman in your life choose which one she wants.

That being said..... must be one big camping rig to have enough room for both a Urinal AND a Solids toilet. Also there is this... "Ever go into the rest room and realize after sitting for a solid task you find you have to urinate too or visa versa? " Cause this and Space restrictions IMHO a solids sitter toilet with front basin built in to catch uring is your best bet. A stool to put one in best position to empty the bowls I'de reccomend too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYc3EoUiMfo

Now to really make things unique.... well actually more like re-run of old history, Build in a hidden toilet under a trap door???..... make it a squate toilet easy to hide and they also had urnine catch in them centries ago...
Your camper box really small? then put this in floor with containers underneath like pictured below. Have a curtain to pull around user
