About

A good camping chair is one of the most underrated pieces of camp kit. After a long day on the trail, having something comfortable to sit in at the end of it makes a genuine difference. The right chair depends on how you're camping: weight and packability matter for trampers; comfort and stability matter more for car camping. Our camping chair range covers everything from ultralight hiking chairs for backcountry use through to reclining loungers and multi-seaters for family car camping. Key brands are Coleman and OZtrail for car camping, and the Peak XV Ultralight Hiking Chair for anyone carrying their seat on their back.
