The Best Camping Chairs

Picking the right camping chair will enhance your time in the outdoors, whether you’re thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail or pitching up at a boutique campground. Here’s what to consider to find the ideal seat for your adventures.

Portability: For backpacking beyond the campground carpark, weight and packed size are crucial. Ultralight chairs like those from Helinox and Nemo are designed to be  easy to carry. Many hardcore hikers are happy to sit on the ground or take a simple foam sit mat like the Nemo Chipper ($20).

If you’re car camping, RV-ing, or heading to a festival, you have the luxury of more space and time and can prioritize comfort and durability over weight. If multiple trips from the car to the camp are not an issue, then sturdier chairs with headrests, foot rests, and cup holders are more luxurious, and generally nicer to sit in for longer.

Comfort: Low-slung ultralight camping chairs are surprisingly comfortable, but don’t be fooled—they’re not as kind to your behind as a luxury reclining design with a footrest and head support. But the comfort levels of larger campground chairs varies enormously. The classic director’s style chair offers an upright sitting position, and everyone likes to be near the same height when eating dinner. They’re also easier to get out of after a few dips in the cooler. High-backed, extra-wide options give you the opportunity to snuggle down and get cozy, but low chairs can be harder to get up from.

How easily, and compactly, a camp chair folds is also crucial for all but the largest truck or RV owners. We found those chairs that fold into long cylinders are easier to store at home, and fit in the car, but the compromise often comes with a lack of durability. Keep clear of those chairs bought at gas stations for $20. They do not last, and will end up in the landfill.

Materials and Durability: Aluminum tent pole frames are lightweight and resistant to rust, making them ideal for backpacking chairs. For example, Helinox uses sturdy DAC poles. However, we have found that larger people can bend these poles by sitting in the chair. Steel frames offer more strength but add weight, meaning they’re more suitable for car camping.

Seat fabrics like polyester and nylon are common; polyester is quick-drying and mildew-resistant, while nylon tends to be tougher and more durable. Look out for recycled polyester, as it is increasingly common. We love the Snow Peak canvas chairs for looks and comfort, but be aware, they will get grubby and require washing, and they stay damp if it rains.
