10 Reviews: Best Folding Chair for Camping (Dec 2023)

With the tagline “everyday items at a value” from AmazonBasics, you know the products from this line are anything fancy, but affordable, dependable, and efficient. This portable camping chair is no exception. The price tag shows no more than $35, it is the best pick if you are on a budget. It features an insulated cooler pocket to maintain your beverages’ temperature and a storage pocket to store your personal belongings.

We bought the Padded Extra Large Camping Chairs and they're fantastic. They've held up well all season, they're comfortable, even for the bigger guys in our friend group, and they're easy to fold up and store away when not in use. They're a reasonable price.

Camping equipment is plentiful and heavy so carrying a bulky folding chair will be a pain. However, you can count on MOON LENCE since it only weighs 2 pounds; the lightest product on this list. That point doesn’t make this chair any weaker. The seat is made of 600D Oxford fabric and is supported by a heavy-duty aluminum alloy frame, making it withstand loads of up to 242 pounds effortlessly.

We absolutely love our chairs!!! We have had them for over a year now and we use them all of the time. We have used them at soccer games, lacrosse games, at the river and beach, backpacking and most recently, a 2 week camping trip. They are very light, quick & easy to assemble and comfortable to sit in. LOVE our Moon Lence chairs!!!

Next, to give color to your camping environment, we have the Kijaro Folding Sling Chair which comes with vivid colors. The seat is made of durable polyester and breathable mesh so your back can breathe well. The dual lock experience gives you optimal comfort with no-sag seating. When it gets dirty, you just have to sweep off or clean with soap water and the chair will look brand new.

This chair is large, wide, sturdy, heavy and an excellent value for camping, etc. The seat is very flat and taut, no sag when sitting in it. Locking seems to work well also. This is not a bright orange, natural color fits well in the desert. Score!

This foldable chair is designed at its best for excellent sitting comfort with the help of X-shape webbing by REI Co-op. This feature allows you to stay cool in hot weather and dry quickly after the rain. In addition, it has a generous drink holder for your large tumble to sit nicely while other small valuables you can put in the drop-down pocket on the left armrest.

What a great purchase! They are durable and easy to pack away even if they are wet or muddy! They are decently comfortable and have a few pockets for storage or drinks, etc. Great for car camping, going to the park, etc. So glad to have gotten these!

Let’s move to GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker that is great for sitting around a campfire. It offers compact, portable, and comfortable outdoor seating, especially the unbeatable rocking feature. The sturdy powder-coated steel frame is able to support loads of up to 250 pounds while rocking you gently. Bring it to any campsite and let people envy your magic chair.

My husband is beyond thrilled with this purchase. Unfortunately he loves it so much it is set up in my formal dining room... But he is camping with the scouts in a few weeks so it will be gone then. This is a fabulous rocking chair for camping! Brilliant invention!

If you are a big guy who loves to wander and is looking for a portable chair that is strong enough, take this King Kong Chair. What sets this chair apart from other budget chairs, is that it’s made of a heavy-duty steel frame; it can hold up to 800 pounds of load. It also gives your arms room to rest, complete with a cup holder and side pockets for maximum storage.

The best camp chair you can buy if your a big man! I have owned 3 of these chairs over the years. I didn't buy them because they broke, but because I keep giving them to friends. These chairs frames hold up to plopping down in them, and the fabric holds up to years of use. If your a big guy then this is the chair for you!

Why should you sit alone when you can sit together? Kelty Low Loveseat Camping Chair facilitates you and your bestie to sit side by side while enjoying the warmth of the campfire. Each side is equipped with side storage so both you and your partner don’t have to scramble to save personal belongings. Despite the big size, you can easily fold it neatly.

Very nice build quality.. could probably handle some real loving if you know what I mean ;)... opens quick, folds up easy, and stores in its nice shoulder strapped bag like a champ.. raddest camping chair ever.. its packs up almost as small as a single folding chair... pretty much amazing..

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ultimate lounge seating experience with this CLIQ Chair. What makes this product stand out is its unbeatable portability. Just imagine, the folded size is only the size of a bottle! This is the lightest folding chair on this list. It weighs only 3.65 lbs but is able to accommodate weights of up to 300 lbs. Isn’t that magical?

Best chair ever! It literally can be setup or packed up in 5 seconds. We have two of them and use them for camping in our van. It is the most comfortable and stable camping chair I’ve ever purchased.

We are back with a product from REI Co-op: Flexlite Camp Dreamer Chair. As the name implies, this chair works like a dream! Equipped with a removable pillow and a higher back, making you forget all your problems and resting with peace of mind. Moreover, it supports a sustainable lifestyle by using materials that meet the bluesign® criteria. Now, you can lounge without feeling guilty.

I hesitated for a long time but after having many cheap chairs I am really pleased with the comfort and compactness of this chair. It seems well built. We will see after a few years on car camping trips.

On the last list is a familiar product in the luxury camping chair category. NEMO’s Stargaze Recliner Luxury Chair has been a favorite due to its exceptional comfort and uniqueness. The high backrest, complete with the rocking feature, makes you feel lulled. You can swing to any terrain without worrying about falling.

LOVE this chair! Just bought a second one because I felt guilty having just one for me when camping. You can swing, lay back and relax, or just sit. Uneven ground, Rocky, flat....doesn’t matter, it adjusts and is sturdy. Packs easily and is light weight. Toss one in the truck for ball games or horse shows. Well worth the $$
