The Ultimate Guide to the Best Hunting Tents
As well as taking the right equipment, getting in tune with the terrain and scoping out the weather - a good night’s sleep is the cornerstone of any successful hunting trip.
When hunting season approaches, make sure you’re prepped and ready with the best hunting tent you can rely on. Whether you’re planning on trekking deep into the wilderness or prefer to camp with some friends before taking on the backcountry, we’re here to help.
In this guide, the experts here at Boutique Camping have collated some of the best hunting tents in our collection, as well as some top tips to keep in mind.
Factors to consider when choosing your hunting tent
Before setting out on your next adventure, it’s crucial to get a tent that best meets your needs.
Ideally, a hunting tent is an investment you can rely on again and again throughout the seasons, which is why you should think about the kind of game you’re hunting, the terrain you’re dealing with and what you’re planning to do in your downtime.
When you’re not hunting, will you need space to comfortably spread out in a cot? Or do you need an area to prep your kit? Maybe you’d like to cook on a stovetop in the tent itself - or want enough room for those non-negotiable tools?
Here are some other factors to consider:
Size
How many people are you looking to accommodate on your hunting trips? Sometimes, size does matter when it comes to camping. But it’s not just about the number of people but how you plan to sleep, whether that’s in bags or whether you’ll be using larger, but more comfortable cots.
At Boutique Camping, we offer 2-person tents all the way up to 8m tents that fit up to 8 people, that are ideal for hunting trips.
Weight
If you’re heading into challenging terrain, you need a tent that’s fairly easy to carry. Fabric plays a large role in the overall weight of your tent, so it’s important to find one that is both long-lasting, lightweight and suitable for your purposes.
The best way to determine how heavy your tent might be is to check the GSM (grams per square metre) number against each bit of fabric. The lower the number, the lighter it is.
Our fabrics

- Oxford 230gsm
- Polycotton Lite 200gsm

- Fire Retardant Cotton 320gsm
Out of all of our fabrics, our Oxford 100gsm is the lightest we have on offer. Made of waterproof, quick-drying, and ultra-lightweight polyester, our Ultralight tents our premium tents go the extra mile.
Seasonality
When it comes to hunting, you need a tent that’s suitable for all seasons. From snow and wind to blisteringly hot summers, cotton is usually the go-to fabric for four-season camping.
Our cotton tents boast the ability to adjust to multiple climates, with their natural fibres offering breathability, durability and crucial warmth when it counts.
Colour
Blending into the terrain is key for hunting, even if you’re enjoying a bit of downtime after a long day in the wilderness. At Boutique Camping, we offer three neutral shades across our traditional tents, designed to blend in with a variety of backgrounds.
Our natural shades include:
- Sandstone - a beige cotton blend.
- Coffee - a tan, brownish shade.
- Grey - a stone grey.
Easy setup
Get pitch perfect, everytime. When you need to get set-up quickly and efficiently, our instant inflatable Air Dome tents have no poles required - so you can be on the move in as little as 15 minutes.
