Camping Blankets: The Most Versatile Layer You’ll Pack
Share
Sleeping bags get all the attention, but camping blankets are often the most-used piece of gear at camp. They’re the layer you grab by the fire, spread out at the beach, throw over an air mattress, or keep in the car for unexpected cold nights. A good camping blanket isn’t just warm, it’s adaptable, packable, and comfortable enough to use anywhere.
At Fort Robin, we carry a curated selection of camping blankets from Kelty, designed for camping, road trips, backyard hangs, and everyday adventures.
Below, we break down the differences between four standout options so you can choose the right blanket for how you adventure.
Kelty Biggie Blanket: Oversized Comfort for Sharing
The Kelty Biggie Blanket is built for camps where comfort matters and space is meant to be shared. Its oversized design easily fits two people, making it a perfect match for a camp loveseat, air mattress, or evenings by the fire.
CloudLoft™ insulation delivers lightweight warmth without feeling bulky, while the soft-brushed polyester liner feels comfortable directly against your skin. The durable outer shell handles real outdoor use, and when it’s time to pack up, the blanket stuffs down neatly into the included storage sack.
Best for:
- Couples camping
- Campfire lounging
- Air mattresses and shared seating
Wayback Biggie Blanket: Old-School Feel, Modern Materials
The Wayback Biggie Blanket blends classic comfort with modern, eco-conscious materials. Oversized enough for two people, or to cover a queen-size airbed, it’s designed for longer stays and relaxed outdoor living.
The organic cotton flannel liner feels like your favorite flannel sheets, while recycled CloudLoft™ ECO insulation provides consistent warmth. A recycled nylon ripstop shell with PFAS-free DWR resists moisture and wear, and box-quilt construction helps eliminate cold spots. It’s equally at home at camp, festivals, road trips, or stretched out in the backyard.

Kelty Bestie Blanket: Lightweight Warmth, Anywhere You Go
The Kelty Bestie Blanket is sized for grab-and-go comfort. It’s warm enough for chilly evenings but compact enough to keep in the car, pack for travel, or bring along to concerts and sporting events.
CloudLoft™ synthetic insulation provides reliable warmth, while the soft pongee lining and smooth taffeta shell strike a balance between comfort and durability. Environmentally safer C0 and PFC-free DWR fabrics add peace of mind, and the included stuff sack keeps packing simple.
Best for:
- Campfire hangs
- Travel and road trips
- Everyday outdoor use
Kelty Galactic Down Blanket: Premium Warmth, Minimal Pack Size
For those who want maximum warmth with minimal bulk, the Kelty Galactic Down Blanket delivers. Filled with lightweight 550-fill duck down, it offers excellent insulation without weighing you down.
The silky-soft polyester shell and liner feel comfortable indoors or out, while oversized dimensions provide full-body coverage. It packs down small into its included stuff sack, making it an easy addition to cooler-weather camping kits or travel bags. The Cosmos camo pattern adds a subtle style upgrade wherever you use it.
