Our Favorite Camp Blankets for Every Adventure

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that a good blanket can make or break your outdoor adventure. Whether you’re huddled around a campfire, cozying up in your van, or braving a crisp mountain morning, the right blanket keeps you warm and adds serious comfort to your setup. We’ve rounded up five top-rated camp blankets—each with its own vibe—to help you decide which one belongs in your pack (or on your couch).

1. Arcturus Heavy Military Wool Blanket

When durability meets function, you get the Arcturus Military Wool Blanket. This heavy-duty option is built for rough conditions—think emergency kits, car camping, or those chilly, damp nights where lighter blankets just don’t cut it. It’s naturally fire-retardant, moisture-wicking, and warm even when wet. If you’re a “better safe than sorry” type, this is your ride-or-die blanket.

2. Woolly Mammoth Woolen Company Blanket

For those who want their blanket to feel a little more “classic mountain lodge,” the Woolly Mammoth blanket is a perfect fit. Made from a warm wool blend, it offers that timeless, rugged look while still being soft enough to cuddle in. It’s heavier than synthetic options but stylish enough to double as a throw in your cabin or Sprinter van. We call this one the multitasker—it works as trail gear and home décor.

3. Wise Owl Outfitters Camping Blanket

Backpackers rejoice—this blanket is featherlight and designed to go wherever you do. The Wise Owl blanket packs down small, dries quickly, and keeps you cozy without adding bulk to your load. It’s not as warm as wool on sub-freezing nights, but it’s perfect for summer camping, festivals, or tossing in your pack for a spontaneous road trip. If you love gear that disappears into your bag until you need it, this is your blanket.

4. Alpakitas Alpaca Throw Blanket

Want something that feels luxurious but still works outdoors? Enter the Alpakitas Alpaca Throw. Soft, hypoallergenic, and breathable, this one shines when style meets comfort. It’s less about rugged survival and more about adding a cozy, elevated vibe to your van or cabin. This is the blanket you wrap up in with your morning coffee while the sun streams through the trees. Bonus: alpaca fiber naturally resists odors, so it’s van-life approved.

5. Get Out Gear Puffy Camping Blanket

If versatility is your love language, the Get Out Gear Puffy is calling your name. Lightweight, packable, and water-resistant, it’s basically a sleeping bag’s cooler cousin. You can wear it like a cape around camp, toss it over damp grass, or snuggle in by the fire without worrying about sparks. Plus, it stuffs down small, making it a go-to for car campers and hikers alike.

Final Thoughts: Which Blanket Is Right for You?

Choosing the perfect camp blanket really comes down to where you’re headed and how you roll. Going off-grid in unpredictable weather? The Arcturus Wool Blanket has your back. Want a blend of warmth and rustic charm? The Woolly Mammoth is your guy. If lightweight and packability matter most, grab the Wise Owl or Get Out Gear Puffy. And if cozy style is your priority, nothing beats the Alpakitas Alpaca Throw.

At Roaming Roots, we believe comfort fuels adventure—so whether you’re glamping in your van, backpacking through the Rockies, or just enjoying a backyard bonfire, the right blanket will keep your journey warm and memorable.
