We use cardboard egg cartons, saved in the kindling bin all year for woodstove season. They stack very compactly. For camping I fill the cups with sawdust or small wood chips, and then break them apart. Will start composting the TP rolls, though!

I use mine for sowing runner bean seeds. Place them upright in a seed tray so they are packed in and not going to fall over. Trickle compost into the roll and then drop in the bean seed before adding more compost and then water well. The roots can grow really long and when you plant outside you make a hole and put the cardboard and the seedling plant in the hole together so no root disturbance.
