Warm, Spacious Shelter for Winter Camping & Ice Fishing

Built for serious cold-weather adventures, the KingCamp Snowhouse 5 Insulated Quilted Cabin Tent with Stove Jack combines a three-layer insulated construction, sturdy steel frame, and winter-ready features to create a warm and comfortable shelter when temperatures drop.

The tent uses 100g insulated quilted fabric to help retain heat, while the spacious cabin-style interior gives you room to organize sleeping gear, chairs, a stove, and winter equipment. Front and rear TPU viewing windows provide clear visibility while helping protect against wind, rain, and snow. And a removable groundsheet that opens for ice fishing holes or safe stove use, plus a fire-resistant stove jack.

Whether you're ice fishing on a frozen lake, winter camping in the mountains, or enjoying a cold-weather hot-tent adventure, Snowhouse 5 is built to provide a more comfortable basecamp in demanding conditions.


Key Features

3-Layer Insulated Construction for Winter Warmth

The Snowhouse 5 uses a three-layer quilted fabric construction designed to improve thermal insulation.

  • 210D Oxford outer fabric
  • 100g cotton insulation layer
  • 190T polyester inner layer
  • Quilted construction helps retain warmth
  • Designed specifically for cold-weather and winter use

The insulated structure helps reduce heat loss and creates a warmer interior than a conventional single-layer tent.


🔥 Stove Jack for Hot-Tent Camping

Stay warmer during extended winter trips with the integrated fire-resistant chimney opening.

  • Metal-ring stove jack design
  • High-temperature-resistant construction
  • Designed for use with a compatible wood-burning stove
  • Fire-resistant cloth included for additional protection

This makes Snowhouse 5 particularly well suited to winter camping, hot-tent camping, and cold-weather outdoor stays.

Always follow proper stove installation, ventilation, clearance, and fire-safety practices when using a wood stove inside a tent.


❄️ Designed for Ice Fishing & Winter Adventures

Snowhouse 5 is especially well suited to winter activities where staying warm and sheltered is essential.

Ideal for:

  • Ice fishing
  • Winter camping
  • Hot-tent camping
  • Snow camping
  • Cold-weather hunting
  • Winter glamping
  • Extended outdoor stays

The insulated walls, stove jack, snow-ready structure, and clear TPU windows help create a comfortable shelter while you spend more time outdoors.


💨 Front & Rear Doors for Easy Winter Access

Two large doors at the front and rear make entering and exiting easier when you're wearing winter clothing or carrying gear.

The dual-door layout also improves airflow and gives you more flexibility when organizing your campsite.


🌨️ TPU Viewing Windows for Winter Conditions

The front and rear windows use TPU material, designed to remain flexible in low temperatures while providing clear visibility.

They help provide:

  • Protection from wind
  • Rain and snow resistance
  • Clear outdoor views
  • More natural light inside
  • Better connection with your surroundings

🏠 Spacious Cabin-Style Interior

The 340 × 240 × 210 cm (11.2 × 7.9 × 6.9 ft) interior provides ample room for winter camping equipment.

The open cabin layout gives you space for:

  • Sleeping gear
  • Camping chairs
  • Tables
  • Winter clothing
  • Ice fishing equipment
  • Compatible wood stove and accessories

The open floor area also makes it easier to organize your gear and move around inside.


🛡️ Reinforced Steel Frame for Winter Stability

The Snowhouse 5 uses a sturdy steel tube frame designed to provide dependable structural support in demanding weather.

Combined with strong guy lines and thick steel stakes, the structure is designed for use in outdoor environments where wind and snow are concerns.


💨 Ventilation for a More Comfortable Interior

Winter tents still need proper airflow. Snowhouse 5 includes ventilation features designed to encourage air circulation and help manage condensation.

  • Front and rear airflow
  • Side ventilation openings
  • B3 high-density mesh
  • Multiple ventilation points

These features help maintain airflow while keeping the interior more comfortable during extended stays.

FAQs

Q: How is the Snowhouse 5 different from the KingCamp Insulated Instant Tent?
A: The Snowhouse 5 trades instant setup for maximum space and structural strength. Its freestanding all-steel frame and 340 × 240 × 210cm cabin layout offer more room and storm resistance, while the Instant Tent (10.2kg, 3-minute setup) prioritizes speed and portability. Choose the Snowhouse 5 for basecamps, extended stays, and ice fishing; choose the Instant Tent for lighter, faster trips.

Q: Can I use it for ice fishing?
A: Absolutely — it's built for hard water. Dedicated ice anchors secure the tent on frozen surfaces, the insulated quilted walls hold stove heat through long sessions, and the TPU windows let you watch tip-ups from inside. The 340 × 240cm floor fits an auger, chairs, a stove, and several anglers.

Q: Is it safe to run a wood stove inside?
A: Yes, when used correctly. The fire-resistant stove jack with metal steel ring handles the chimney, an included fire-resistant mat protects the groundsheet, and the front/rear ventilation system maintains constant airflow. Always follow your stove's safety instructions and never leave it unattended.

Q: How does it handle wind and heavy snow?
A: The all-steel freestanding frame is structurally strengthened for wind and snow resistance, and dual internal/external snow skirts prevent wind-driven snow from entering. As with any tent, brush off heavy accumulation periodically.

Q: Is it waterproof?
A: The groundsheet carries a 3000mm waterproof rating, and the 210D Oxford flysheet sheds rain and snow. The snow skirts add further protection against ground moisture and meltwater.

Q: Can one person set it up?
A: The steel frame is designed for straightforward assembly, but given the 25.6kg weight, we recommend two people for the smoothest setup — especially in winter conditions.

Q: Is it too heavy to transport?
A: At 25.6kg and a compact 70 × 41 × 38cm packed size, this is a car-camping and ice-fishing shelter — it transports by vehicle or sled, not by backpack.

Q: How many people does the Snowhouse 5 sleep?
A: It's rated for 5 people — and the 210cm standing height plus pole-free cabin layout mean five adults can actually live in it, not just lie in it. For glamping, it's luxurious for 2–3 with a stove, cots, and furniture.

Q: How does the removable groundsheet work for ice fishing?
A: The groundsheet opens or removes entirely, so you can drill your holes on the ice inside the tent and fish from the warmth of your shelter — no kneeling on bare ice, no wind chill between you and the water. When you're camping on snow or ground, zip it back in for a sealed, 3000mm-waterproof floor.

Q: Can I use a stove with the groundsheet?
A: Yes. The floor section can be opened around the stove area for safer open-fire use, and the included fire-resistant mat protects the groundsheet from sparks. Combined with the metal-ring stove jack, the Snowhouse 5 is designed from the ground up for wood-stove living.
