Whether you are a hunter or just a camper, camouflage tents can be a great addition to your adventure. Camo tents help you blend with your surroundings and hide from prying eyes.
Here in this article, we’ll show you a list where you can decide which is the best camo tent for you. So let’s get started.
1) GEERTOP Ultralight Compact Single 1 Person Waterproof Bivy II Tent for Backpacking
The first tent on our list is this ultralight single-person tent by GEERTOP. You’ll notice right away how it doesn’t look like your regular tent. Still, it will provide you with the necessary protection and it can be used during 3 seasons.
It has internal storage pockets so you can store your keys, phone, or any other accessories. This tent has a UV protection coating and it is also waterproof resistant. Mesh material in the top of the tent together with two windows will ensure a lot of airflow coming through.
You don’t have to worry about the stability of the tent as it has a cross aluminum pole design which increases the strength of the whole tent structure. All seams are taped to ensure no water will go through them.
The best part about this tent is that you can easily fit it into your backpack. It’s quite portable and only weighs 2.16lbs with stakes included. Tent material is made out of PU5000MM Polyester which has a lot better water protection than most tents out there.
Together with this tent you’ll get these items:
- 1 Tent Body
- 9 Aluminum Tent Stakes
- 3 Folding Aluminum Poles
- 1 Windproof
- Reflective Guy Ropes
- 1 Carry Bag
The fun doesn’t stop there, it also has double doors, so it’s easy to get out and in. This is a very good tent to have and the camouflage pattern adds a big bonus to it.
2. BZTANG Explorer Outdoors 3-4 Persons Camouflage Camping Tent
This instant pop-up tent has awesome camo details that you can see in the picture below. Based on the reviews we’d say it would fit 3 persons and some luggage or 4 “smaller” persons.
It’s very portable and can be folded for backpacking camping. It’s quite easy to set it up and put it back in a bag. The manufacturer has decided to include a travel bag with it which is awesome.
The downside of this tent would be that there is no hard floor. The bottom material is a bit thin so using a tent footprint is a smart idea. You never know what type of terrain you might run into.
Materials used to make this tent are waterproof and UV resistant. We love the pattern of this tent that will make you blend with the surroundings. Also, BZTANG Explorer has a large D door which allows an easy entry.
You don’t have to worry about airflow because this tent has mesh windows. No more worries about insects when you want some fresh air inside the tent. Product dimensions are:

Ground stakes, Guy rope, and carry bag are all included with the tent. If you want an easy use, portable, and lightweight tent to use, this is a good choice.
3. NTK HUNTER GT 5/6 Camouflage tent
NKT is not messing around, this is a real premium tent. This 40-year-old brand has mastered the art of making great tents. Hunter GT 5/6 is an easy to assemble, waterproof, spacious tent.
You can fit 5 to 6 adult persons in this tent. Once fully assembled a 6ft person can stand up straight in it, isn’t that crazy? Seams are fully sealed and together with the 100% waterproof outer tent material, there is no way the water will get inside of it.
This tent has one feature we rarely see even with high-end tents. The tent floor is lined with a thermal silver coating which is actually anti-fungus. That means the mold will have almost no chance of appearing on your tent floor.
Both sides of the tent have 2 D-style doors, so you don’t have to cross each other when you are trying to get out. The inside of the tent has a polyester micro-mesh fabric which will let the fresh air in while keeping even the smallest bugs out.
The camo pattern looks very close to those of the military. Hunter GT 5/6 was made for 3 seasons, even though some people claim they are using it year-round without problems. People also report using it during 40mph winds and nothing happened to it.
In case you’re a bit skeptical about camping in high winds, here is our guide on securing a tent in high winds.
Dimensions of this tent are:
- Assembled Size:175*300*300cm (6 x 10 x 10 ft)
- Package size:55*55*5 cm (21*21*1.9 inches)
- Weight: 6.9 kg (15.2 pounds)
It goes a little bit over 200$, otherwise, we would include it in our best tent under 200$ article. This is a great tent that’s very well built with premium materials, you can’t go wrong with this one.
4. Sutekus Backpacking Camouflage Tent
This tent comes at the lower end of the price, but that doesn’t mean it compromises the quality. It uses lightweight fabric and it’s very easy to set it up. Similar to the previous tent on our list, it has a military-like camouflage pattern.
Sutekus tent is one of the lightest tents available on the market. It weighs only 2lbs (0.9KG) and it’s ideal for backpacking. Carry bag, poles, and stakes are all included together with the tent.
The only downside of this tent is that it’s not waterproof by default. That is probably the reason why it costs a fraction of other tents since everything else is of great quality. That being said, you can treat it with a waterproof spray and you are good to go.
You can use this tent for a solo trip or fit two children inside. The poles are made out of fiberglass which reduces the weight a lot. This tent is ideal if you are going on a camping trip somewhere quiet.
It’s not a heavy-duty tent, but if you are looking for a beginner tent just to enjoy nature and spend the night, this will definitely fit the purpose. It’s quite easy to assemble it as you may see in the video down below.
*Note: The tent on the video is another model with double doors, this one has a single door. However, the assembly process is the same.
5. NTK Hunter GT 8/9
We couldn’t end this list without one tent that can fit a whole family. NTK Hunter GT 8/9 is an ideal candidate for this one. We have already previously stated that NTK been in the camping business for the last 40 years.
As you can probably tell from the model name, this tent can fit up to 8 or 9 different people. It’s 100% waterproof with a double-layer rainfly included. Micro mosquito mesh will ensure that not even the smallest insects get inside.
Due to fiberglass poles, the weight of this tent is just 18.74 pounds (8.5 kg) which is amazing considering 8 to 9 people can fit inside. There are two d-style doors and similar to the previous NTK tent, this one also has an anti-fungal floor for mold prevention.
There is plenty of space inside and a 6.1 ft tall person can stand straight in the center. Hunter GT 8/9 comes with a zipped stuff bag and ID label which comes in handy if two some else has the same tent.
Seams are fully sealed for maximum water resistance. In case you are looking for a high-duty affordable tent, Hunter GT 8/9 is a great choice. You and your family will remain protected regardless of the weather.
