I bought one of those and haven't looked back. Unless you get there first thing you're going to get stuck in a line in the hot hot sun. The water will be ice cold and the pressure will suck. Like turning on a garden hose a half turn. And after a day or two the stalls get downright nasty.
The advantage of the Helio (or similar) over the basic solar bags is that it is pressurized. With the bags you have to find a way to hang them. They are heavy and awkward.
This thing you just put on the ground and it has a sink sprayer. Pump it a few times to regain pressure. There are people who hack those garden sprayers for a similar effect for much cheaper, but they take up a lot more space in the car and not everyone is as handy.
I can't imagine not showering. Even when I was your age and festivals didn't have showers or even clean portolets, I would put a 2.5 gallon water jug with a spout on my tailgate and squat under it to bathe. That's a real cheap option actually if you have room for it, just don't let them leak.
