A portable folding stand for camouflage includes a generally flat base with a generally flat camouflage holder portion foldably hinged thereto. The camouflage holder portion is generally semicircular, with a straight attachment edge and a circular periphery having a series of branch holder sockets disposed therealong. The base includes a pair of opposed passages therethrough, for accepting a set of spikes or the like for anchoring the device to the ground. The hunter, photographer, wildlife observer, etc. deploys the present camouflage stand by inserting the two spikes through their passages and driving the spikes into the underlying terrain, unfolding the camouflage holder to deploy the holder generally perpendicular to the base, cutting a series of tree or shrub branches or the like, and inserting the freshly cut branches into the camouflage holder sockets to deploy the branches radially generally in a single plane, in a generally fan-like array.
