Best Folding Camping Chairs


In this text you have the list of the best folding camping chairs, handpicked and also reviewed in detail in separate texts. So please have a look.

Best folding camping chairs.


About terminology

If you go to Wikipedia, you can read that a folding chair folds flat. In my understanding, this would mean that instead of a 3-dimensional object it reduces to only two large dimensions. There are such camping chairs and you will see some of them here, but we use this term in a broader meaning.

The majority of the camping chairs here and on the market fold so that only one dimension remains relatively large. Such a type may be more suitable when you have to pack it in the car trunk. In practical terms, these chairs collapse from all four sides towards the central point, similar to what you would have in an umbrella, and also in some great instant cots which you have here in the site.

They also deploy in a similar manner, from the center in all directions, and this is done in seconds, no assembly is needed. Note that they are also described as foldable camping chairs. The meaning is the same.

Types of folding chairs

So back to the definition in Wikipedia, they describe the term properly, but the meaning of the term ‘folding’ widely used on the Internet implies at least these two types:

  • Chairs that pack so that they remain relatively large in two dimensions. See the ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair as one example. I sometimes describe them as folding like a book.
  • Chairs that pack so that they remain large in one dimension only. Those I describe as folding like an umbrella.

Note also that these chairs are a sort of collapsible type but without assembly.

On the other hand, here I do not include those collapsible chairs that need assembly. You can see my list of such chairs for backpacking and hiking. Those are much lighter in general and follow a different design principle.


What is included in the list?

The list of foldable camping chairs includes the following:

  • Padded and unpadded folding chairs. Normally, padding is never too thick in these chairs, so do not expect too much from it.
  • Chairs with solid armrests and with soft armrests.
  • All chairs have good back support.
  • All of them are very comfortable. This implies the mentioned features above, and also great dimensions and bonuses like a cooler, cup holder, storage pouch.
  • All are ready to use in seconds.
  • All of them are sturdy and with great capacity.
  • Some of them are with a rocking design.
  • Some come with a folding side table or a swivel table.
  • Some of the chairs are with integrated lumbar support.

1. ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair

ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair.
ALPS Mountaineering Camp Chair.

Here you have one of those chairs that just fold like a book, so it remains relatively large in two dimensions. The weight of this Camp Chair is quite typical, 10.5 lb (4.76 kg), but the capacity is impressive 425 lb (193 kg).

Note that the seat is rather low as compared with some other chairs in the list, it is at 17 inches (43 cm) above the ground. You have padding on the seat and on the back.

The specific feature you have here is also the solid armrests, so this may be useful for elderly people who need such support to get in and out of the chair. The armrests are padded. The chair comes with a bonus cup holder which you can see in the picture. Please follow the link for more.

2. ALPS Mountaineering Grand Rapids Chair/Stool

ALPS Mountaineering Grand Rapids Chair/Stool.
ALPS Mountaineering Grand Rapids Chair/Stool.

This tiny chair is here because of its simplicity and ease of use. So this is a folding steel three-leg outdoor chair, lightweight enough with its 5 lb 6 oz (2.44 kg) to be carried in the pack.

Its capacity is impressive 375 lb (170 kg), and it is also very affordable. It comes with two storage pouches on the side, and with a carry bag.

3. ALPS Mountaineering King Kong Camping Chair

ALPS Mountaineering King Kong Camping Chair.
ALPS Mountaineering King Kong Camping Chair.

If you want to know why this chair is in the list, just see its capacity. There is nothing stronger currently on the market. This is a capacity-king that can handle 800 pounds (363 kg) of weight easily. So it is strong enough even for sumo wrestlers, and its dimensions are appropriate for such a capacity.

The chair weighs 12.5 lb (5.7 kg), so it is not lightweight, but this is a strong steel structure and you need a car for transportation.

There are several bonuses. It is padded as you realize, the armrests are very pleasant and adjustable, and you have cup holders and pouches on both sides, and you also have a storage pocket on the back. Please follow the link to read more.

4. ALPS Mountaineering Rebound Rocker chair

ALPS Mountaineering Rebound Rocker
ALPS Mountaineering Rebound Rocker chair.

This ALPS Mountaineering Rebound Rocker chair is a great folding construction with solid and covered armrests. It folds in a simple move and then you can store it in its included carry bag. But this is also a rocker chair and I have included it also in my list of best rocking camping chairs.

The chair is a bit heavy with its 16 lb 12 oz (7.6 kg) and the packed size is 45 x 9 x 4 inches (114 x 23 x 10 cm). You also have a bonus bottle holder visible in the picture above.

5. ALPS Mountaineering Rocking Chair

ALPS Mountaineering Rocking Chair.
ALPS Mountaineering Rocking Chair.

This is one of the chairs with solid armrests and this is also a rocking chair. It is very tall and with a great headrest, 41 inches (104 cm) from the ground to the top, so I have included it in my list of best chairs with headrest.

But it is very heavy with its 17.5 lb (7.9 kg), and its capacity is 300 lb (136 kg). The weight is due to its steel construction and the long U-shaped bar on the ground which serves for rocking purposes.

Note that this chair remains quite large when folded, its packed size is around 47 x 26 x 6 inches (119 x 66 x 15 cm) so it takes quite a space in the car. Please read more in my full review.

Here you have yet another King Kong chair with practically the same basic features and dimensions as the chair shown above. The fabric is different and there is some small difference in the weight.

So you have again 800 lb (363 kg) and the weight is 13 lb (5.9 kg). The chair is rather bulky when packed but it only in one dimension, the size of its carry bag is (L x D) 41 x 7 inches (104 x 18 cm).

This Best Choice Products Oversized Zero Gravity Reclining Lounge Patio Chair is folding and this is why it is here. But this is also a recliner of a specific type as you realize from its name. So it reclines while at the same time its footrest raises up. I have added it to my list of chairs with a footrest and also to my list of reclining chairs.

The chair is incredibly comfortable. It is also in my list of chairs with sunshade, and the reason you can see in the picture.

Guide Gear Oversized XXL Director’s Chair 600-lb
Guide Gear Oversized XXL Director’s Chair 600-lb.

This Guide Gear Oversized XXL Director’s Chair is easy to use because of its folding design. This is one of those that fold like a book so it is very thin when packed. Note that its seat is very wide, it measures 25 inches (64 cm).

But its capacity is also huge 600 lb (272 kg), and I have included it in my list of camping chairs for heavy people. The chair weighs 16.5 lb (7.5 kg), and its seat height is moderate 17 inches (43 cm).

Kamp-Rite Director’s Chair with Side Table.

This is one of the folding chairs that remain relatively large in two dimensions when you fold it. This is due to its integrated table and solid armrest design. The capacity is quite good, it can support up to 350 lb (159 kg). But its packed size is far from impressive so bear this in mind.

The frame is aluminum and the fabric is polyester, the chair is lightly padded and you have foam padding on the armrests as well. The legs are such that it will not sink on any ground, see the picture above. Please check the link to see the updated price.

This is a folding chair of the type that remains large in two dimensions when packed. This is because of the bars which you see on the ground. The chair is also a rocker-type so this is an extra feature here.

You also have solid and padded armrests, and the chair is with a high back section so it provides a good headrest as well. I have included it in my list of chairs with headrest. The packed size is 37 x 28 x 7 inches (94 x 71 x 18 cm), and the weight is 12 lb (5.44 kg), so this is a chair for car camping. Please follow the link for more details.

Kamp-Rite Padded Folding Chair with Lumbar Support.

This Kamp-Rite chair is a folding type that remains large in one dimension only when it is collapsed. So the packed size is 38 x 9 x 8 inches (97 x 23 x 20 cm).

But its main feature is its lumbar support, and more importantly this is an adjustable design, a strap goes behind the back so you can fit it to your body shape. The weight is also very typical, 9 lb (4.08 kg).

You have armrests and they are with two integrated cup holders. Also, throughout the seat and the back section you have light padding. All in all, the chair is nicely built and ergonomic, a carry bag is included, and the price is more than fair.

39. Kamp-Rite Padded Chair with Mesh Back

The chair’s dimensions are really good, 35 x 22 x 38 in (89 x 56 x 96), but the packed size is not so great, it remains a bit long when folded 39 x 9 x 8 in (99 x 23 x 20 cm).

You have cup holders on both sides, the feet are wide and this is a floor-friendly design. The price is more than reasonable, and it comes with a carry bag. Please follow the link to read more.

This is one of those that you fold from all four directions towards the center so that it remains relatively large only in one dimension. The resulting packed size is 32.75 x 9.75 x 6.9 inches (83 x 25 x 18 cm). This is very reasonable and transporting it in the car should not be a problem.

But this is also a rocking chair as its name suggests. So you have two rails visible in the picture, which are with pins that lock the rear legs. Therefore, when you want to fold it, those pins must be released. Regarding the weight, it is in the group of medium chairs with its weight of 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. It comes with a nice carry bag, and this is also a very affordable chair.

This Timber Ridge Fraser Deluxe Bungee Chair is here because of its folding construction, so as usual for such chairs it is very easy to use. It is incredibly nicely built, and pleasant with its padding and with its bungee suspension.

You have solid and padded armrests, a mobile phone pocket under the seat, and a swivel cup holder. It weighs 13 lb (5.9 kg).

80. Timber Ridge Rocking Chair

The Timber Ridge Rocking chair is one of those that remains quite large when you pack it; it folds from front to back (or vice versa) and the packed size is 46 x 24 x 5.5 inches (117 x 61 x 14 cm). So it will take quite some space in the car.

This is a high chair with a good headrest, its height is 40.5 inches (103 cm) from the ground to the top. As you realize from the picture, this is also a rocker chair. In addition, you have a solid armrest design. The frame is steel and it makes it quite heavy, it weighs 16.53 lb (7.5 kg).

There are two versions; the one shown here is with a padded headrest and without padding on the rest. The other model is quite the opposite. Please follow the link to read more.

This is an ingenious folding construction, and incredibly easy to use, without assembly. The frame is a combination of aluminum and steel, there are no armrests, and it is also in my list of best armless folding camping chairs.

The seat is 10 inches (25 cm) above the ground. With 7.9 lb (3.6 kg) it is moderately lightweight, and when folded it measures 19 x 12 x 2.5 inches (48 x 30 x 6 cm).

82. VINGLI Folding Fishing Chair Plus Foot Rest

This Vingli chair is a folding type and this is why it is in the list here. But it has many other features. So it is nicely padded throughout its seat and backrest, but also on the footrest as well.

You have one-inch open-cell foam everywhere. I have added it to my list of chairs with footrests. But note that they sell yet another version without the footrest.

It provides a nice headrest and solid armrests, and this is a reclining design as well, and it can be angled at 6 different positions. You can even make it completely flat, and in such a position you can use it as a camping bed. This is why I have added it to my list of best reclining chairs.

The chair has legs that are fully adjustable and this can be done independently. The feet are large, rotating, and adjustable. You get a carry bag with this chair, so you can attach it to the shoulder and carry it short distances.

83. YETI Trailhead Collapsible Camp Chair

This YETI Trailhead Collapsible Camp Chair is very easy to use, you can have it ready in 15 seconds and this includes taking it out of its carry bag.

It supports up to 500 lb (227 kg), and this is why I have added it also to my list of camping chairs for heavy people. The armrests are solid and on the sides and on the back you have locks that keep the chair stable and with this same system you create tension in its fabric which itself is unique, it looks like a tensioned trampoline.

The chair weighs 13.3 lb (6 kg), and its dimensions are (H x D x W) 36.25 x 29.87 x 25.12 in (92 x 76 x 63.8 cm).
