cook tent

Outdoor meal shelter

A cook tent is a tent designated for food preparation and cooking at a campsite, base camp, or outdoor expedition.

Separate from sleeping quarters, it provides shelter for stoves, food storage, and meal preparation while keeping cooking odors and fire hazards away from where people sleep.

The guides set up the cook tent first so they could start dinner.

Cook tents are standard equipment on extended wilderness trips and mountaineering expeditions.
