A compact, lightweight, self-storing, collapsible shelter for all-season recreational use has a rigid floor platform to which front and rear walls are swingably mounted for rotation about parallel axes, each of the walls being swingable between upright wall-defining positions and lowered storage positions wherein the rear wall closely overlies and confronts the floor platform, and the front wall overlies and confronts the lowered rear wall. The axis about which the front wall swings is positioned at a greater distance above the platform than the axis about which the rear wall swings so that the front wall will swing to a position closely overlying the rear wall to provide the cover for the collapsed shelter. A plurality of removable longitudinal beams extends between the upright front and rear walls to prevent swinging of the walls toward one another and store within the shelter when it is collapsed; a plurality of cords extends between the platform and front and rear walls to further retain the walls in upright positions. A weather-resistant canvas tarpaulin extends between and is fixed to the front and rear walls and also to the platform to define an integral roof and side walls for the shelter. A pair of skis facilitates transportation of the shelter to and from its destination.
