Picking the right camping chair will enhance your time in the outdoors, whether you're thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail or pitching up at a boutique campground. If you’re car camping, RV-ing, or heading to a festival, you have the luxury of more space and time and can prioritize comfort and durability over weight. Comfort: Low-slung ultralight camping chairs are surprisingly comfortable, but don’t be fooled—they’re not as kind to your behind as a luxury reclining design with a footrest and head support. But the comfort levels of larger campground chairs varies enormously. Steel frames offer more strength but add weight, meaning they’re more suitable for car camping.
