What to Look For in a Camping Chair

 The type of camping gear you choose is one of the biggest factors in creating a successful camping trip.  Quality gear is critical when in the wilderness, you need to know that your tent is not going to leak and your camping chairs are not going to rip or break.  Setting up camp for a peaceful getaway by firelight is only relaxing if you are comfortable. 

Here are some of the most important considerations when looking for camping chairs:

End use – are you car camping? Backpacking? When backpacking, packed size and weight are most important, comfort is what matters most when front country camping.  

Size and height – are your chairs for yourself, children or guests?  Do any guests need special accommodations like a wider size?  Low chairs are great for concerts or the beach but can be difficult to get out of for some people. High back chairs will be more comfortable around the fire and are more easily accessible. 

Design – some camping chairs come with 2, 3 or 4 leg options, suspension design, glider, reclining options and more.  Think about setting up camp and everyone’s comfort level. 

Backpacking Camp Chairs

For many hardcore backcountry hikers, camp chairs are a luxury.  If you can find space in your sack with a lightweight, packable camp chair it can really help you have some moments of comfort after a long day’s hike. 

Car Camping Chairs

When car camping, you can afford the luxury of packing a more comfortable camp chair like a high-back, ultralight camp chair.   You could even pack some high-back chairs for the campfire and some low-profile chairs to hang out by the water.  If you plan on doing day hikes and heading back to camp, stick a packable camp chair in your backpack to take a rest on the trail. 

The most important thing is to be sure that your chair accommodates your type of hike or camping adventure with size, weight, and performance.  Look for quality materials and weight limits, extras like sand feet if you’ll be sitting at the beach, and ease in folding and packing.
