There are also chairs that are hybrids between categories, such as the Nemo Stargaze Reclining Camp Chair, which comes highly rated and recommended. It has the highest weight capacity and largest seat of any chair we tested. Out of all the chairs we tested, this chair’s capacity—800 pounds—is the highest (the next-highest weight limit is 500 pounds). With its spacious seat width, this chair also offers more room than any other model we tested.
The 10,000 BTU burners, which can be independently controlled, provide ample room on the stovetop for cooking. Plus, the 3,500 BTU grill underneath acts as a broiler for toasting or getting extra sear. There’s even a wind-screen that makes it easy to light, regardless of the conditions. This chair is perfect for use at the campsite while tailgating on the sidelines at your children’s game or anywhere else you need a seat.
This wagon has wider wheels that can traverse sandy terrain with ease. And it comes with the same durable build of the standard Mac Sports wagon, but with twice the internal volume. Folding wagons can be useful tools for families, beachgoers, or really anybody who needs to tote a lot of gear from one place to another. Backpackers and campers will immediately ozark tent see the utility of Grand Trunk’s Compass 360 Stools. The 360 swivel feature, simple packability, and light weight make them ideal for any campsite — whether you drive or hike there. The weight difference between the two stools is not significant — the UC weighs 1.2 pounds and the XT is 1.7 pounds — but the size difference is more notable.
Get comfortable with this Ozark Trail Classic Folding Camp Chairs Set of 4. With a centre height of 84in., even tall friends can stand up under it. Good design with a small pocket to ozark trail canopy place your cell phone or snacks near the cup holder. Sturdy arm rests and sits a little higher from the ground, making it a great choice for taller people.
Like the regular Mac Sports wagon, the Heavy Duty model comes with a one-year warranty. The Mac Sports Heavy Duty Collapsible Folding All Terrain Utility Cart has the largest wheels and, at 6.7 cubic feet, the largest volume of any wagon we tested. This wagon easily folds and unfolds, and we found that it was simple (at 24.5 pounds) to lift into the car after a long day in the sun.
Many testers found other chairs more comfortable and easier to put together than the Nemo Moonlite Reclining Camp Chair. This is also the most expensive lightweight chair we tested, and we think the Chair One is a better value. The REI Co-op chair’s polyester seat material feels both more forgiving and more durable than the thinner material on many other kids’ chairs. Compared with cheaper chairs of its kind (like those from Walmart), the REI Co-op chair functions better and will last much longer. A functional cupholder, a convenient carry strap, and durable fabric distinguish this kids’ chair from similar seats. But keep in mind that your kid will eventually outgrow this one.
Several Wirecutter staffers have owned the Coleman chair for years, using it on camping trips, in backyards, and at sporting events. For the most part, it’s held up well, but one common quibble is that the seat bottom begins to sag after several years of use. If you’re looking for highly specialized or ultra-lightweight chairs for backpacking, our recommendations are probably not for you. We also don’t have suggestions for couch-style or loveseat chairs (we’d like to look at those someday, though).
Overwhelmingly, the Coleman came out on top, with campers praising its comfort and stability. The Renetto’s big, heavy canopy provides ample sun protection at a campsite or cookout and doubles as a backpack-strap-equipped carrying case. Most of our testers found the REI Co-op Skyward Chair to be one of the least comfortable chairs in our testing pool. People who did like it tended to have smaller body types, so if you find that other camping chairs are too big for you, the Skyward might be a good fit. At a little over 7 pounds, it’s also the lightest traditional chair we tested—but it had the lowest weight capacity (250 pounds). It’s currently low in stock, but REI tells us this chair will be widely available again over the summer.
I love starting off each camp morning with a fresh cup of coffee, and the MiiR Pourigami is a genius solution to making a cup outdoors. It’s made of three stainless steel interlocking panels that slide together to become a pour-over system. One of my favorite parts of camping is sitting back and enjoying a meal with friends by the fire.Thankfully, the Big Agnes camp chair is 46% off and packs up into a neat tube. It’s a breeze to set up and is designed with a wide seat and tall back, so you can really sink into the great outdoors. I’ve had my camp cookware set for years and it’s seen me through many iterations of chili, pancakes, stews, and more. Additionally, the lids have built-in strainers, so you don’t have to fiddle around too much when emptying pasta water.
