Product Information

Believe it or not, there are tons of camping blankets out there, so I’ve narrowed them down to the 15 best based on what you need a camping blanket for most.

Synthetic-filled blankets are basically down-alternatives. So they’re any material that mimics the warmth and comfort of down. These can actually be just about as warm as down if you get a blanket with a high-quality synthetic fill. A picnic blanket's material impacts its comfort, durability, and resistance to moisture. While most traditional blankets are made from fleece and wool, such materials will not withstand wet and sandy conditions on their own. Most modern picnic blankets are made from cotton, polyester, or a water-proofed blend. “Look for two things: water resistance and a material that won't attract grass and leaves,” says Lauren Kimmons, owner of Pop Up Picnic Co. Picnic blankets for the beach also are frequently seen in nylon or polypropylene, since both materials are lightweight and make it easy to shake off sand and debris. Camping gets chilly no matter the season, so insulation and warmth are a must-have. Whether you want fleece, down, synthetic, or wool, just make sure that your blanket gives you enough warmth for the climate you’re usually in. Just remember, the more insulated, the heavier but the warmer the blanket will be. Durability To help you narrow down this huge list of blankets, it might be helpful to consider what material you want. So here are some different types of camping blankets and what they’re best for.
