The Best Portable Ice Fishing Shelters

Clam Base Camp Thermal

This is a roomy shelter with a 6-by-6 footprint. It is constructed of a thermal fabric with high-insulating properties. Heat retention is excellent, because the built-in skirt minimizes the entry of cold air and wind. The shelter has excellent reviews from Cabelas.com because of the easy setup, generous 78 inch height and lightweight design. The light blue color also makes the shelter visible in a whiteout.

Hi-Tech Tackle Two-Man Polar Escape Shelter

Hi-Tech Tackle makes the popular two-person Polar Escape Shelter. It has received high ratings from Cabelas.com and has a sled base for easy transportation on the ice. It is large enough for two fisherman and four holes and has two folding chairs with backrests. The exterior is water- and wind-resistant, and the shelter traps heat inside with the use of a small ground skirt. The shelter also has built-in windows and drapes to cover the windows.
