Camping Chairs

When choosing a camp chair, consider the following factors:

• Backpacking or camping? If it goes in your pack, a camp chair has to be small and light. If your car carries it, though, you can focus solely on comfort. On product pages, we list dimensions for both chair and folded modes, as well as chair weights and capacity.
• How big and how tall? A chair that is wider and higher off the ground is probably comfier, while a smaller, lower chair can be a better choice for a concert or a compact campsite.
• Traditional or trendy? Options include the classic four-legged chairs, but also three-legged camp stools, two-legged options and legless chairs. Posher options include rockers and loungers.

More to Consider:

• Capacity: Check the weight capacity of the chair to make sure it's sturdy enough for you.
• Extras: Cupholders, footrests, head and lumbar pads, breathable mesh panels, and more can all enhance comfort.
• Accessories: Up the glamping factor with extras like a ground sheet or add-on cupholder.

Once you've found the camping chair you like, consider other camp furniture such as hammocks, camp tables and fire pits to make your outdoor experience more comfortable and fun.
