Here you have my list with the best camping chairs for heavy people, all very strong folding chairs with 400 – 1000 lb (181 – 454 kg) capacity.
Folding camping chairs currently on the market are typically with a weight capacity of around 300 lb (136 kg) or so. This may be good enough for most of the users but clearly, this cannot be strong enough for some heavy and large people. This is why I have decided to present this list with extra strong chairs with the capacity range mentioned above. They are strong because of their frames that are usually built from powder-coated steel, and because of their high-denier value fabric.
So why the upper limit of 1000 lb? This is simply because this is the upper limit available. I have not seen any chair on the market with a bigger capacity. Anyway, who would need it?
How about the lover 400 lb limit? Well, there is no particular reason except that I wanted to show a very exclusive group so this is well above the typical capacity mentioned above. If you need something with a lower capacity, please check my list with folding camping chairs.

This is a folding structure with armrests, a cooler, a bottle holder, a storage pouch, and a back pocket. The chair weighs 15 lb (6.8 kg).
How to choose & Editor’s Choice chair
So this was my current list with best camping chairs for heavy people. Many of them are with a similar structure, folding and with soft armrests. This type remains relatively large in one dimension only. The other type is with solid armrests and such chairs remain large in two dimensions when packed, but they become thin and you can store them in narrow spaces at home or in your trailer.
Other than that, this is just a matter of features and bonuses. So you might want to consider:
- Padding: Not all of them are padded but if this is about summer camping perhaps you do not need this.
- Storage pouches: This is always useful to have, the more the better.
- Cup holders: This is surely a bonus.
- Locking mechanisms. This extra bonus is rare, but it may be very useful to have.
- Carry bag: This is good to store the chair and keep it clean from dust at home, and also to carry short distances.
- Seat size: All of them are big, but there are differences so check the links in the text.
- Seat height: This is important if you are particularly tall or particularly short.
Then there is the price as well, but all of these chairs are quite affordable and with reasonable prices for what they offer. In any case, just follow the links to see more and to check for the updated prices.
This list will be updated regularly and new models will be added, so bookmark this page and visit it from time to time.

User Review
( votes)Since you are looking for chairs for heavy people, perhaps you also need a cot with similar features? If so, please check my list of camping cots for heavy people.
Thank you for reading. Please use the comment box below in case of questions. Did I miss adding a good chair? If so, please let me know.
Great list..thank you for the hard work you have done. One question, is there one or more you recommend for transporting? Weight and set up ease…..wonder if any 350+ chairs come with ease of set up and take down. Carry bags are not easy at times and wear out over time. Thanks!
Hi Dave, I am sure that all of them here in the list are very easy to use, no big difference at all. These are all folding chair without assembly. But you are concerned about transporting, weight, and carry bag.
So the weight depends on features, like armrests (solid or soft), side tables, rocking or non-rocking etc. The lightest is the first in the list, the ALPS Mountaineering Adventure Chair, but this is because it has no armrests. It is incredibly light for its capacity. The type of armrests determines the weight and packed size in the sense that you can have it solid and soft types.
I would say the following, if you are fine with soft armrests, go for the Browning Camping Kodiak Chair or the other two from ALPS brands.
If you want solid armrests, the YETI Trailhead Collapsible Camp Chair is a great options.
But there are more great options in the list, it is difficult to suggest as I do not know which features are essential to you.
A mention of the warranties (if any) would be most helpful!
It is mentioned in full texts so follow the links please. But for some chairs this is not available, so if you do not see it in full texts, this means I could not find it.
Do they make a freestyle rocker with hydraulics and high back for a big and tall man that is rated for more than 250 lbs?
Hi Kim, I do not remember any rocker with this type of mechanism that would have more than 250 lb capacity. This is interesting indeed. You can see them all in my separate list of rocking camping chairs.
This is the site we have been looking for! Wondering if it can have the measurements of these chairs. We would like to give one as a gift to a very tall family member. What is the height from floor to seat? we are looking for 21″. Vacation time has come and we need our family together. Would be nice not to leave one behind because of getting up issues. Thank you for your very informative website.
Hi Fatima
the only options with high seats are the following:
EasyGoProducts Chair 30 inches seat.
Prime Time Outdoor Giant Kingpin Folding Chair 30 inches seat.
CORE Equipment Folding Padded Hard Arm Chair 20.5 inches seat height.
Guide Gear Oversized King Camp Chair 20 inches seat height.
Fantastic List. Thank you very much!!!
Many thanks Don, you really made my day.
Do you have any recommendations for beach chairs? Seat can’t be more than 12” from the ground (used at an outdoor concert).
Hi Andrea, there are many options here in the site. You can find them easily if you type beach in the search bar. Here are some examples:
RIO Beach 4-Position Lace-Up Backpack Folding Beach Chair
Lightspeed Outdoors Reclining Beach Chair
KingCamp Low Sling Beach Camping Folding Chair
Helinox Beach Chair
Helinox Playa Lightweight High-Back Collapsible Beach Chair
Looking for collapsing, sturdy arm, high back, 400+ lbs
Hi Donn, all of them are here in the list. I can see at least two that have all the features you want.
What about portable rockers that fold up (not just in half) for at least 300lb-400lb capacity? Do you have a list?
Hi Steph, yes I have a separate list of rocking camping chairs. So just follow the link.
I’m a big guy, always looking to lessen my pack weight. When checking reviews, it’s important for me to have readily accessible packing weights available to help guide me. Thanks for your review. It’s a great start!
Hi Rob, great to hear from you. If this is about carrying the chair in the pack, check also these backpacking chairs, they are ultralight but with less weight capacity, perhaps you might find something for you. I know how it is carrying a pack, just came from climbing in the Alps.
Price on chairs and where to buy them
Please follow the links.
Supposedly this chair’s seat is 25” and supports 600 lbs. I just ordered it, so fingers crossed the specs listed are accurate! If so, this is the widest seat w/the highest weight rating and solid armrests that I’ve come across.
Hi Jen, you have chosen wisely this is a reliable chair. Please note that I have removed the link you gave, this is a bit against our policy.
Hello! I am lookin for an outdoor chair that can be used on a patio that is tall and can support 500lbs for an elderly family member. Preferably easy for someone to get in and out of and one that isn’t foldable. Do you have any recommendations? Something that is roughly 28 inches wide and and 45 Inches high. Having a real hard time.
Hi JT, I am afraid all the chairs in this site are folding or collapsible because they are for camping and similar activities. But you want a rigid chair. There are so many of them I would need more details about what you want, armrests, padding, wood or metal, headrest, such things. Please check these wood patio chairs as a start, they are strong and sturdy, but let me know some more details.
Just bought a folding chair for my big guy at Academy for $39 (on sale). Made by Magellan Outdoors, Redwoods style. It is rated 500 lbs and has tension seating and hard arms for easy in and out. LOVE IT!! Extremely comfortable. Seat is fully padded and breathable mesh, extra tall for neck and back support.
I know the chair, it looks great. They have several nicely built chairs. Pity they are not available at global sellers. Thank you for visiting the site.
I am a big guy and need a chair as you have listed here however, I have bad knees and would love have a chair with a taller sitting surface. This way I am not having to put extra pressure on the arms of the chair to get up or having to get assistance to get out of it from sitting so low.
Hi Shane, I usually give the seat height so just follow the links to full reviews. The Kijaro Chair is 53 cm tall and you will not find anything taller except for those chairs that are built for fun like this Prime Time Outdoor Giant Kingpin Folding Chair that is 76 cm.
Hi Jovo
I’m a heavy disabled man looking for a chair with a high seat with a 400lb at least capacity.
Also most chairs you advertise in uk are unavailable at mo, they want a lot of money to send them from the states.
Hi Stuart, I have checked directly at Amazon UK and here are some options: Alpha Camp chair with 200 kg capacity, Vango Kraken Oversized chair, and also Vango Samson Oversized chair. There are more. As you know Vango is a brand from Scotland from Govan.
Am looking for a chair that my butt won’t sink down into. If does is hard to get out of.
Hi Gar, it is best to go for those that have the highest weight capacity, and also choose some with good solid armrests this makes getting in and out easier. If you tell me more about the type (rocking or not, high backrest or not, and your body weight) perhaps I could say more.
Hello, I am looking for a wide seat chair that will carry my weight (250 pounds) that has comfty arm rests and high neck rest, are you able to recommend one? Thank you I am based in the UK
Hi Louise, I can recommend several of them, it is best that you check in my separate list of chairs with a headrest. Please scroll to the lower part of the list where you will find many of them with the features you need, i) solid armrest, ii) high backrest with a headrest, iii) wide seats.
Hi, I am looking for a armless camping chair (with bag) with 500 pound capacity. Please help!
Hi Brad, I cannot find any that would have such a combination of features. Please check this Alps Mountaineering Adventure chair which is without armrests and the capacity is 400 lb. The carry bag is included.
I am looking for a heavy-duty camping chair 400lbs with a 24-26 inch seat height.
Hi Jim. There is no chair here in the site which satisfies this criterion. The closest to this here in the list is this Guide Gear Oversized XXL Rocking Camp Chair.
Me too. Still looking… any luck?
Looking for one that is adjustable for shore fishing on uneven ground?
Thanks

Hi Cal, this EARTH Ultimate 4 Position Outdoor Chair is one with adjustable legs. It offers a great headrest as well.
Capacity-wise, it supports the weight of up to 300 lb
OH well. Thanks
I feel you are disappointed with this, sorry, do not remember any chair which would be in the group of 400 – 800 lb capacity, at least with the declared capacity. This chair looks very strong though.
