Product Information

If you're heading to the park or beach for the day and want a portable chair to carry with you on foot, you’re best off sticking to one of the lighter camping chairs featured. DURABLE - The Hi-Gear Maine Chair is built to last with a strong and durable steel frame and a hard wearing, easy to clean PVC coated polyester fabric. As usual, the cheapest camping chairs should be given a wide berth in general, often breaking after just a few uses, thus bad for your wallet and green ethics. There will be some products that are amazing quality and packed full of additional features or specifications, but do take the time to really get an idea if you need that level of quality or if your budget and needs mean you should get something else. What it does offer is a high-quality, robust and very smart-looking chair – and the aluminium frame means it's much lighter than it would appear, too.

The central requirement might be simple – keeping your bottom off the damp, cold ground outside one of the best tents going – but past that, there are myriad things to consider. They encourage greater airflow, so you stay cooler when sitting and don't succumb to a yucky build-up of sweat. There are also enough built in features that once you're set up and sat down, you don't need to move again.Finally, unfolding and folding the Pathfinder Lite is simple and fast, and it comes with a carry bag that attaches to the base of the chair. Hi Gear’s Balance Baselayer is made from their high-wicking and quick-drying balance fabric, which effectively draws moisture away from the skin as you sweat. Next up is the Coleman Sling chair, which we think is the best folding camping chair for when you need some extra seating in the back garden.

We've taken this chair everywhere so far this summer, from the campsite to park to the beach and the riverbank, and it hasn't let us down. As the name hints, the chair not only reclines but acts more like a hammock than a chair, allowing you to rock gently beside your campfire. It's pricier than most of our best camping chair picks, but the Nemo Stargaze Luxury recliner packs plenty of envy-inducing tech trickery. The Hi Gear Premium Vegas King Chair gives all the comfort you would expect, but now includes a handy drawcord storage/drinks flask pocket.The ‘pitch’ time is the only real downside here, as it does take a short period of faffing to put up a Helinox Chair Two, as opposed to the handful of seconds it takes to unfold a standard-umbrella-style camping chair. So if you're driving to the campsite and can afford to take heavier gear, you literally have your pick of the best camping chairs listed in this guide, as weight won't matter. Often, it's true to say that the smaller you go with a camping chair, the less comfortable and feature-packed it is – but not always!
