A portable restroom system provides multiple restroom units and an arrangement which allows the size of the system to be reduced for easy storage and transportation. The system includes a first restroom array, a second restroom array, a water-supply manifold, and a waste-removal manifold. The first restroom array and the second restroom array each preferably provide at least four restroom units. The first restroom array and the second restroom array are structurally arranged to allow retractability of the walls, the ceilings, and the floors of the restroom units in order to allow the system to be easily stored and transported when not in use. The water-supply manifold provides clean water to the associated restroom units of the first restroom array and the second restroom array. The waste-removal manifold removes any waste produced after use of the associated restroom units of the first restroom array and the second restroom array.
