For example, you can look at Nemo’s sustainability report to look at their impact as a brand, including carbon accountability. The ALPS Mountaineering King Kong also comes with dual cup holders, two storage side pockets, and a large storage pocket on the back. At 13.5”, it may be a little too tall to bring to a concert, but it’s perfect for beach nights, Fourth of July cookouts, car camping, lake days, date night under the stars, or family reunions. The Nemo Stargaze is a rocker/recliner, but it stands out due to its sturdy base that allows you to set up in rocky and sandy environments, which is rare for any camp chair.
If you’re planning to use the camp chair often, it’s worth investing in one of the mid-to-higher end camping chairs, which are designed with more durable materials. This helps keep the chair protected, organized, and makes it easier to carry. Look for chairs that include a bag or sack for convenient storage coleman sleeping bag and transportation. The Stargaze also has luxurious features like a padded headrest, a deep no-spill cup holder, and a phone/stash pocket big enough to hold an iPad. However, we would’ve preferred the two-cup holder design found in other camp chairs (after all, a cupholder can usually fit a phone).
In stark contrast to Helinox’s minimalist Chair Zero above, their Sunset Chair puts a premium on comfort and support with a high back and wide, cradle-like seat. At 3 pounds 4.8 ounces, it’s too heavy and bulky to bring on overnight backpacking trips, but this Sunset is well made, easy to unpack and stow away, and offers great upper back and neck support for those that want it. If you’re looking for a straightforward folding chair but want something that sits higher off the ground than our best overall pick, the Kijaro Dual Lock Folding Chair is a great option. Its height makes it appropriate for tall users, as well as for campers who’d like to use the chair at a picnic or other table. It comes in a wide variety of colors and is super durable and our testers found it comfortable to sit in for long periods. The chair has the added features of two cup holders and a zippered mesh pocket perfect for storing your phone.
It provides great back support, a mesh cup holder and side pocket for storing snacks or other go-to items, and — the ultimate feature — a cooler that accommodates up to four cans at once. You’ll never get thirsty when sitting in this Coleman chair, whether you find yourself kicking back on the beach, at a tailgate party, or in the deep woods. Don’t worry about transporting this item — it comes with a carry bag that makes storage and transport a breeze. Although they’re designed with camping and backpacking in mind, camping chairs are more versatile than you may think.
Each chair also has a fold away drinks holder, which is handy as we all know it is the law that you must have a beer or other alcoholic beverage when camping. Sadly it’s not big enough to hold a bottle of wine but apparently I am on my own thinking that this would be a good idea. Refunds are issued to the original form of payment, unless returned in store
where some exclusions may apply. Our journalists combine independent research with (occasionally) over-the-top testing so you can make quick and confident buying decisions.
Portable outdoor chairs are also helpful for anyone who doesn’t have the room or budget for permanent backyard furniture. And they can save your back, make it easier to juggle a picnic plate and a cold beverage, and generally help you to relax comfortably outdoors. If you notice some mildew on your chair or happened to enjoy a particularly muddy weekend, cleaning off your camp chair is a relatively straightforward process.
The two cupholders fit a drink or your phone and keys, and the little hanging organizer keeps sunglasses or bug repellent at the ready. The chair also comes in every color under the sun, so you can match your favorite sports team. For larger-bodied campers or people who require a stiffer chair for back support, the YETI Trailhead Camp Chair is our pick.
Walk around any campground or tailgate party, and you’ll notice the popularity of this variety of accordion-style seat. You can pick one up at just about any big-box store (sometimes for as little as $10), order one with your favorite sports team’s logo, or pay a premium for a similar model from Cabela’s or REI. The Renetto’s big, heavy canopy provides ample sun protection at a campsite or cookout and doubles as a backpack-strap-equipped carrying case.
In our opinion, tried-and-true models like the REI Co-op Skyward, Alps King Kong, and Kijaro Dual Lock have much wider appeal, cost less, and are all most campers need. But if you hate sitting still or just prefer something a little different, there’s no denying the added fun factor. Chairs with a low seat height excel in places where it’s required, like an outdoor concert, or for times when it’s best to be low to the ground, like a beach. Of these chair types, the Alps Mountaineering Rendezvous is a standout in terms of comfort—the chair sits at a recline to stretch out your legs—and material quality. You don’t get the ability to raise the seat like you do with the Eno Lounger DL below, but you’re not paying for it either.
