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.

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.

My list of the best folding camp chairs

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.
