We had one in the backyard growing up. It was out of service for years, but I definitely used it as a young kid.

Have a drainage spot in the back yard that runs to the neighborhood pool.
I just crap in there and wash it down. It will kill all the lake fish at some point but oh well

A bunch in National Parks out west.
My grandparents had one in the middle 70s......yes they were extremely poor hillbillies from WVA.

I used one in Ukraine it wasn't that bad when I was there but would be terrible during winter months

Stayed at a cottage in Northern WI during a snowmobiling trip that had no indoor plumbling, was a lot of fun.

The cabin we stayed at while in Montana/Glacier had one.

I was born in 52 and my grandparents had an outhouse that we had to use.
It wasn't nice in the winter and by summer it was downright nasty. If still in use today I'd bet there'd be a lot less people taking dumps and surfing the net on their cellphones. They'd be in and out in a flash.
Fast forward to the early 70's and a gal I grew up with got into the whole hippy thing and she and her guy rented a house on the north shore off a dirt road that had no running water, no electricity, no gas------and it was a couple months before they dug the hole and built an outhouse.
They'd just to outside, stand or squat to pee and hang their asses over a fallen log to crap and take a shovel with them to bury it once done. So when I stayed with them from time to time to help with projects it was like the old saying "When in Rome, do what the Roman's do".

My uncle's farm near Magnolia, Mississippi in the 1940s. No electricity, no running water and no sewage (not even a septic tank). The outhouse was a good distance from the main house.

I used one whenever we visited my Granny in Harlan County. Her church had one, too.

When I was a kid in the early ‘70s my grandparents had had plumbing in their house in Midland for awhile, but the old outhouse in the back yard was still in serviceable condition.
I peed in it a couple of times but I never shitted in it because my grandmother didn’t want me going in there and she told me if I sat down to use it a snake would pull me in.

More times than I can count. They are very common on public land in the west.

The first church I went to as a kid had two outhouses (womens and mens) until the late 1980s. Still have nightmares of my uncles holding upside down over the crapper openings.
We switched churches to one that had the mens outhouse in the field and the womens behind the church. That church got indoor plumbing in the late 1990s.
Both of these churches are in the rural Ozark Mountains of Missouri.

If you're a boomer and from the south, yes

I’ve pissed in one I found in the woods behind a old church.
My Grandfather grew up on a farm Tennessee and has told me about having to use one and a oil lamp and heating his on water for a bath lol.
Said hell is having to use one in the winter time at night.
