Camp Tables

About

A camp table gives you a stable surface for cooking, eating, and gear organisation at camp. The right choice depends on how you're camping: fold-flat options pack into a bag and suit car camping; roll-top bamboo or aluminium tables set up in seconds; larger trestle-style tables suit family base camps where you're not moving frequently. At Dwights, our camp table range covers compact fold-flat options through to full-sized family tables — all designed to pack down for vehicle transport. Choosing the Right Camp Table Fold-flat tables: Pack into a slim carry bag. Quick setup, good stability. Best for most car camping and DOC campsite use. Roll-top tables: The tabletop rolls up around the frame. Extremely compact when packed. Good for frequent movers who want something easy to load. Trestle/large tables: Maximum surface area for family groups. Heavier and bulkier but significantly more usable space for cooking and eating. Height: Adjustable-height tables suit use alongside both camp chairs and standing cooking setups. Check the height range before buying. Frequently Asked Questions Do I need a camp table for NZ camping? For car camping at DOC campsites and holiday parks, a camp table significantly improves the experience — a stable cooking surface, somewhere to eat that isn't the ground, and a place to organise gear. It's one of those items that becomes quickly indispensable once you use one. For tramping and walk-in camping, skip it — the weight isn't worth it. For vehicle-based camping, it's a worthwhile addition to the kit list. What size camp table do I need? For a couple, a compact single-person cook table or small fold-flat is sufficient. For a family of four cooking full meals and eating together, look for a table with at least 80x60cm surface area. For larger groups or anyone who wants to set up a proper camp kitchen, a full-sized trestle table (120x60cm+) gives you the working space to match.
