The 6 Best Heated Blankets To Keep You Cozy While Camping

I love the L.L Bean Wicked Cozy Heated Throw because of its versatility. You can use it as a stylish throw in your living room at home, and also bring it along to keep you warm during cold nights at the campsite. Although, be warned — the ribbed material and luxurious silky side will make it difficult to give up your cozy spot next to the fire!

The Wicked Cozy throw is reversible and machine-washable, which adds another layer of versatility that you don’t find in every electric blanket. It’s 50 inches by 60 inches — standard heated blanket size — and boasts five heat settings as well as that important automatic shutoff. 

If you’re on the hunt for a heated blanket that you can use on the trails and off, it doesn’t get much better than this one. Bring it along on your next national park adventure, then throw it in the wash and return it to its usual spot on your couch with minimal fuss. 

Similar to the Stalwart Electric Car Blanket, the RoadPro Polar Fleece Blanket is perfect for keeping in your car and bringing with you on the road. It plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter and is relatively small and lightweight, yet still packs a powerful punch to keep you warm during those cold nights in the tent. 

I especially like this blanket because, at 12 volts, it’s low-powered enough that you can keep it running throughout the night without worrying about draining your car or solar batteries. It comes with a nicely sized eight-foot charging cord.

The RoadPro is made of a soft polar fleece material that feels much more luxurious than the price point would have you believe. Plus, it folds easily into the included zippered storage bag, making it perfect for frequent travelers looking for something snuggly to pack on the road. 

If you’re searching for a blanket for every season, the Sunbeam 10 Setting Quilted Fleece is the heated blanket for you. The dial on this blanket toggles between ten different heat settings, making it easy to readjust as you overheat or begin to get cold. My only complaint about the heat dial is that it isn’t backlit, meaning if you want to adjust it in the middle of the night, you’ll need a flashlight to see what you’re doing. 

It comes in four different colorways — admiral blue, cabernet, ivy, and mushroom — and four different sizes to fit beds (or sleeping bags) ranging from twin to king size. The Sunbeam is a quilted pattern, which gives it an extra luxurious feel. Plus, it’s machine washable and dryer safe, making this not just a high-quality choice, but a convenient one too. 

When it comes to snuggling up around a campfire, it doesn’t get much better than the Brookstone Twin Fleece Heated Plush Blanket. Crafted from an extra-soft microfleece polyester, this blanket feels luxurious at an affordable price. Yet, it’s still light and portable enough to easily pack away for a weekend in the woods. 

I like that there are four heat settings to choose from, and the four-hour automatic shut-off provides peace of mind when enjoying the great outdoors. Like the Sunbeam 10, this blanket comes in four sizes (twin to king size) and has a removable 19 inch power cord — meaning it will stretch all the way to the campsite power outlets ten feet away from your tent!

If you’re searching for a luxurious blanket to line your sleeping pad that isn’t going to break the bank, the Brookstone Fleece is definitely the way to go.
