7 Best Camping Chairs

Yes, it is more expensive than your average camping chair, but it has a five-year warranty and is made from quality material. 

It is quite comfortable considering how lightweight and thin the chair is. It’s made from 600-weave rip-stop polyester.

The set up of this chair is super simple. It comes with an internal bungee chord that self assembles the poles. Basically all you have to do is pull the chair out of its pouch and it will practically set itself up. 

Out of all the chairs we reviewed, this Helinox chair is by far the easiest to transport. It folds up so compact that you can fit it in your backpack or carrying bag. This chair is ideal for hiking or long distance. It weighs only 1.9lbs. 

The chair has an aluminum alloy frame which gives it strength. It can hold up to about 320lbs. 

Pretty standard pricing for a comfortable camping chair with high quality construction.

The only possible issue you may have in terms of comfort with this is the height of the seatback. Otherwise, the padded armrests and high quality materials make for a comfortable sitting and rocking experience.

Most reviewers support the manufacturer’s claim of easy setup and foldup.

Since this is a rocker, you’re probably not looking to take it hiking. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that it weighs about 13 pounds, so we wouldn’t suggest carrying this too far.

GCI does a great job in creating high quality camping chairs for an affordable price. This one is no different.

While this chair is a little pricier than most, you’ve got to consider the fact that you’re getting two chairs in one.

With high quality fabrics and the ability to adjust the positioning of the chair to your liking, this double camping chair is all about the comfort.

Most reviewers have noted that this chair is very easy to set up.

While this does come with its own bag for carrying, it’s 15.4 pounds of carrying you’ll have to consider adding to the other gear you’re bringing along.

Because comfort and ease are of the utmost importance, this chair’s construction is solid. With a steel frame and quilted polyester fabric, this is made from high quality materials.

Considering it’s a child’s chair that will be eventually outgrown, it’s a little on the pricey side, however, the quality of the chair is excellent and will keep your child comfortable. 

This chair is designed for children of 3 years or older. It comes with a cup holder and is an almost replica of the adult Kelsyus camping chair. The sun canopy with 50+ UPF protection maximizes comfort for your child so they are prepared for even the sunniest days. 

This chair is easy to set up and comes with an adjustable canopy top that can be removed or shifted if needed. 

At only roughly 4.5lbs, this chair is easy to carry along on your family hiking/camping adventures. The chair folds up and can become a backpack making transportation of this kids chair even easier. 

The chair is durable and will hold up for children under the weight of 75lbs. 

This chair is a little pricier than your average outdoor chair, but if a durable, long lasting chair is what you’re seeking – look no further. 

This ALPS Mountaineering King Kong Chair is extremely comfortable. It is the perfect chair to lounge in all day long while enjoying the outdoors. It’s made of 600D polyester throughout the entire chair and comes with cupholders and storage pockets on both armrests. There is also an extra mesh pocket on the back of the chair. 

The King Kong Chair can hold up to 800lbs, and will *literally* not let you down. 

The chair is easy to set up – it simply unfolds from it’s carrying bag.  

The King Kong chair weighs about 12.5lbs. So it’s on the heavier side and is probably not ideal if you have to lug it around for a hike or long walk. It’s much better suited for packing in a car or camper and bringing along on a journey where you won’t need to carry it for too long. 

If you are looking for extreme durability in your camping chair, this is the one. 

This is one of those “you get what you pay for” situations. It’s important to note that when you purchase a cheaper camping chair (and this goes for most of the cheaper camping chairs we researched), you can expect some issues in quality as a tradeoff.

Coleman is definitely a well-known brand when it comes to camping gear, and this chair is no exception. In terms of comfort, this one gets it right. Lots of room to breathe, lots of extra storage, and reviewers often note how comfortable it is to sit in.

Unlike other heavy duty chairs, most reviewers don’t report any complaints with getting this one set up.

If you’re looking for a chair to take on the go, you’ll definitely want to consider something else.

Again, another tradeoff. If you want something more durable—not necessarily in terms of holding a lot of weight, but durable in terms of lasting a long time—you’ll want to pay more for a higher quality construction.
