Here you have my list of the best camping rocking chairs currently available on the market, built in very different styles and with different features for a variety of activities.
What is included
All the models here are handpicked and described in details in my separate reviews, so please follow the links below to read more.
The list includes the following types:
- Folding rocking camping chairs. Those are typically the models that need no assembly, you just spread the chair and it is ready in a second. But these chairs remain quite large in two dimensions so bear this in mind when you plan how to organize the space in your car when you prepare for camping. These chairs are relatively heavy and bulky, and they are definitely not backpack-portable.
- There are also models that are collapsible camping chairs with removable rocking rails. So this type needs a simple assembly and their packed size and weight are such that they are backpack-portable.
- I have included also a great example of a swing chair.
- Some of the chairs here are very tall and with a good headrest. These include both types mentioned above.
- You will see also that most of them are with solid armrests. This is a useful feature to have as it makes it easy to get in and out of the chair, but this also adds to the weight.
- Regarding the frame, some of them are steel and some are aluminum, and this is usually a powder-coated metal. This is normally reflected in their weight.

1. Helinox Chair Two Rocker
The Helinox Chair Two Rocker is a quite unique design. Obviously, it is here because of its rocking feature; so you have two rails shown in the picture above, which are the reason for having it here in the list. But note that these rails are also removable, and what remains is a very lightweight backpack-portable chair. The total weight is 4.1 lb (1.85 kg), yet the capacity is impressive 320 lb (145 kg).
Note also that it is fully collapsible and with a very good packed size as compared with other chairs in the list; it packs to 24.4 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches (62 x 16.5 x 16.5 cm).
This is not all; the chair is with a high back, so you have a good headrest and this is why I have included it in my list of chairs with headrest. Please read more in my full review.
2. NEMO Stargaze Recliner Luxury Chair
Strictly speaking, this Stargaze Luxury Chair is not a rocker, this is a swing chair. But it is so totally unique that I could not resist. In a sense, the principle here is somewhat similar to what you will see in the GCI chairs below. There is a fixed frame and the seat moves. The seat attaches to the two side poles shown above.
It comes with an automatic reclining mechanism so you can enjoy and watch the stars in the camp. You also have a pleasant adjustable headrest which you see in the picture. It is with Velcro tabs so you can move it to fit your body size.
The chair has solid armrests, and you get a bottle holder and a storage pouch, and a carry bag included. The weight is only 6 lb 5 oz (2.86 kg) and the packed size is 23.5 x 6.5 x 6.5 inches (60 x 17 x 17 cm).
3. GCI Outdoor ComPack Rocker Chair
This chair is completely unique with its rocking design. There is nothing even remotely similar to its torsion rocking construction. So it will rock no matter where you use it.
But it looks just like an ordinary bucket style camping chair, you have a high backrest with a headrest, and its seat is also padded.
It packs small for a rocker, its nicely designed carry bag measures only 19.5 x 6.5 x 6 inches (50 x 17 x 15 cm). So you can transport it even on a bicycle. It weighs 7.9 lb (3.6 kg).
4. MacSports MacRocker Outdoor Foldable Rocking Chair
This MacSports MacRocker Outdoor Foldable Rocking Chair is designed to rock on any surface. This is because of the rocking mechanism on the back and due to fact that the chair sits on the two straight ground bars.
This is a folding and easy to use construction, lightweight, portable, and very affordable. It offers solid and padded armrests, a bottle holder, and a storage pouch. It weighs 10 lb (4.5 kg) and its capacity is 225 lb (102 kg).
5. GCI Outdoor KickBack Rocker Chair
The GCI Outdoor KickBack Rocker Chair is one of many rocking chairs of this brand here in the list, and they all have the same unique patented rocking design.

It is with curved bars and X-crossed legs that create a smooth rocking motion. The seat is quite angled, and the chair is with padded armrests.
The weight is 10.8 lb (4.9 kg), and the weight capacity is 300 lb (136 kg).
7. ALPS Mountaineering Low Rocker Chair
This ALPS Mountaineering Low Rocker Chair is very similar to several other chairs in the list, but as the name suggests, this is a low chair with the seat at 15 inches (38 cm) above the ground. It comes with a nice carry bag with a shoulder strap so you can carry it shorter distances. But note that it weighs 11 lb (5 kg), which is again quite similar to some other chairs.
The rails which you see in the picture have a pair of pins that you pull and release the rails, and this is how you collapse the chair and store it in its carry bag. The same system is in the Browning Camping Cabin chair below. The capacity is 300 lb (136 kg).
8. Browning Camping Cabin Chair
This Cabin Chair is a rocker and this is why it is here in the lits. The design is such that it is partly a folding type and partly a collapsible chair. Namely, all elements remain interconnected all the time, but it folds and closes when you pull two pins that are behind the rear legs. So it needs a very simple assembly.
The packed size is much better than in most of the other chairs below, and this is due to its particular armrest design. So it remains large only in one dimension, it packs to (L x D) 34 x 10 in (86 x 25 cm).
The frame is steel, yet the chair is high in the list here because of its weight which is only 11 lb (5 kg). It is portable, but you need a car for transportation.
9. GCI Outdoor Comfort Pro Rocker Chair
The GCI Outdoor Comfort Pro Rocker Chair is an easy-to-use and affordable folding chair. It comes with a unique rocking design developed by this brand, that works on every surface.
The numbers you might want to know are as follows. The weight is 11 lb (5 kg) and the capacity is 250 lb (113 kg). The seat height is 19.7 inches (50 cm) so it is quite high and suitable for taller users. The packed size is 44.1 x 7.3 x 6.3 in (112 x 19 x 16 cm).
10. Timber Ridge Catalpa Relax & Rock Chair
The Catalpa is a folding and rocking chair, one of those that you fold so that it remains relatively large only in one dimension. So the packed size is 32.75 x 9.75 x 6.9 inches (83 x 25 x 18 cm) and transporting it in the car should not be a problem. The weight is quite medium, 11.4 lb (5.17 kg).
The chair is padded, and you see from the picture that it has solid armrests with foam for padding. To fold the chair you release the two pins which are visible on the rocking rails. It comes with a nice carry bag, and you should know that this is a really affordable chair.
11. GCI Outdoor Pod Rocker Camping Chair
This chair comes with a patented rocking design which is such that it will rock no matter where you use the chair. You have a wide and pleasant seat, and a great price tag.
The chair weighs 11 lb 11.2 oz (5.3 kg) so it is moderate for this group as you realize from its position in the list.
12. Kamp-Rite Folding Rocking Chair
This is a chair without any assembly, just spread it in a second and it is ready. You have padded armrests here and a very high back section that provides a good headrest.
The packed size is not so great, the chair remains large in two dimensions, 37 x 28 x 7 inches (94 x 71 x 18 cm). The frame is aluminum and the weight is moderate for such a type, 12 lb (5.4 kg), but clearly, this is not a lightweight chair. It is built for comfort, so it is heavy and bulky and you need a car for transportation.
13. GCI Outdoor FirePit Rocker Chair
This is a rocking chair with the spring action rocking technology; those two pistons which you see on the back contain the rocking system. As you realize, it sits on the two bars so it will keep rocking on any surface.
This is a folding chair so you can make it ready in seconds and equally fast you fold it away. But it remains quite large and boxy in two dimensions, this is because of its solid armrests that do not fold.
It comes with a cup holder and the armrests are padded. The weight is 11.9 lb (5.4 kg), which is reasonable in view of all the steel that you have there. Note that it is rather low, and this is the main difference between this chair and the other from the same brand below.
14. Timber Ridge Acacia Portable Easy Foldable Rocking Director’s Camping Chair
This is a classic rocker with solid and padded armrests. It is very easy to use, reliable, and also very affordable. The chair fold like a book and this is quite a common deign, but one unique detail is its folding backrest. This make the folding size smaller.
As you see from the picture, the chair has storage pouches on the side. It weighs 12.1 lb (5.49 kg), and its capacity is 300 lb (136 kg).
15. GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker Portable Folding Rocking Chair
Here you have something really specific – this is a rocking chair with a unique hydraulic rocking system that includes two pistons on the back. So the bars on the ground do not move at all and this is a floor-friendly design.
At the same time, such bars prevent sinking when you use it on soft ground and sand, so it will preserve its rocking feature on any surface, and this is what makes it completely different from its competitors.
The chair is padded, and you have solid armrests. The back section is not high enough for the headrest, just to know. If you need such a design check some other chairs here in the list.
The weight is moderate for such a construction, 12.1 lb (5.5 kg), and the packed size is large 34.8 x 25 x 4.9 inches (88 x 64 x 12 cm). Please follow the link for more.

18. GCI Outdoor RoadTrip Rocker Chair
This RoadTrip chair has the same Spring Action Rocking mechanism as the other chairs of this brand shown above. But it also has some extra features that make it completely unique.
First, notice that it collapses so that only one dimension remains a bit large. The packed size is 43.5 x 8.7 x 8.1 inches (110.5 x 22 x 20.5 cm). In addition, it comes with a carry bag so you can carry it attached to your shoulder.
The chair has an extra pair of legs which you see in the picture above, so when you lean forward you have 4 points on the ground, please follow the link below to realize how this works.

The name of this Best Choice Products Foldable Zero Gravity Rocking Patio Recliner Chair is quite misleading. This is a rocking chair indeed and this is why it is here, but it is not a recliner. It is also not clear to me why they use the words ‘Zero Gravity’ in the name. Such a term is used for a different design.

37. Outsunny Folding Zero Gravity Rocking Lounge Chair
This Outsunny Folding Zero Gravity Rocking Lounge Chair combines several features that you see in its name. It is here because this is a rocking chair. More precisely you can use it as a rocking chair but you can also disable this feature and use it as a standard zero gravity chair. It is included in my list of zero gravity chairs, a design for maximum comfort and relaxation.

Final thoughts
If you would need a chair that provides sun protection, please check out text with best outdoor chairs with canopy or shade.
Thank you for reading. Do you have any experience with such chairs? If so, please share it here, there is a comment box below. I wish you a nice day.
This is by far the best review of folding rockers I have seen. One missing dimension is the seat width (never mind the total outside width). I would pay almost any price for a nice folding rocker that was made for normal people. I just measured about 20 chairs that were 20 or more years old and the they ran 15 to 17 1/2″ wide at the widest part of the seat itself. I was perfectly comfortable in the 15″ width. I am a size large male and weigh 180 lbs. It seems all new chairs are over 18″ wide and made for the new fatties. To me they take up too much space and look cartoonish. Same for the chairs.
Hi Cecil, 15 inches sounds really narrow when you compare with all these wide chairs that are on the market. From what I see they are popular so people need them.
Hi there. I am a big guy, I weigh about 340 lbs. Can you recommend a rocking chair, with solid armrests, for me? I notice that all of the “GCI Rockers” have a 250 lb weight limit. I would really like that type, since I’m not always on a solid surface. Thanks!
You are right, the only option for such a weight is a classic rocking design. Right now I do not know about any of the type you want that would have the appropriate capacity. If I see something I shall let you know through E-mail.
Hi Jovo, can you suggest an alternative of “Helinox Chair Two Rocker” for children?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am not aware of any similar camping chair for kids.
Many of these with hard armrests also can be reclined. I have two just like the ALPS unit and they are wonderful.
Not sure which chair you have in mind. Those in the list are not recliners, and you even say “many”. Can you say more?
Do you know if any of these work for younger children? I have found that for many of the rockers, they can’t sit back far enough or don’t weigh quite enough to be comfortable or rock on their own.
Hi Laura, most of them will not work for kids due to the reasons you described.
The only exception is NEMO Stargaze Recliner Luxury Chair, but this is a swing chair and it works differently.
I am looking for a rocking chair that reclines 30-40 degrees. Then I want to cozy up to the campfire with it. The foot area needs to ‘retract’. Sitting up straight is painful for me, in a chair. Does anyone make something like this? I put logs under my rocker bars to lean my chair back…
Hi Simone, these are chairs for outdoor use and they are built as relatively simple structures. I do not know any with the combination of features you need. I am pretty sure you will find one in some other places where rocking chairs for home use are presented. Those should have more features.
Many of these with hard armrests also can be reclined. I have two just like the ALPS unit and they are wonderful.
I don’t know exactly what you mean by “retracting” the foot area,..
Not sure what you are saying. Can you tell me where I used the word retracting?
I was curious to see what or any difference there is from the rocking chairs with shocks compared to ones with the curved rockers….
Hi Sandra, there is a big difference and I have pointed this out in full reviews of those rocking chairs without curved rockers. They will rock regardless of where you use them. This is because they are on a platform (bars on the ground). So even if those bars sink a bit in the soft ground, the chair will rock. This is not so with chairs that have curved rockers, they will not rock on a soft ground.
Sandra, I am a rocking enthusiast. I must have rocking chairs inside and out. FYI, my sister and niece both have a CGI chair although I don’t know which one, but I have used it often and love it. I have always had outdoor rockers with the curved bottoms but I am sold on the CGI types. Not only can you put them on uneven surfaces but the rocking is really, really smooth. I suggest you find a place that sells them and try them out.
I have a rocking camp chair and just love it. I would suggest, however, that you get a high backed one for real comfort.
Hi Vicki, thank you for the suggestion. You are right about it. There are quite a few of them here with a great headrest.
