If your car is only ever an arm’s length away from your tent, or you’re travelling in a camper van, weight and transportability won’t be an issue for you. What sets it apart from others on the list – in addition to its space age design – is the fact you can swing in it despite the fact it has legs. You can leave your dehydrated, salty, and unsatisfying meals at home—today’s camping stoves bring a whole new level of gourmet to your car camping and basecamping adventures.

Made with reinforced parachute silk nylon, it’s triple stitched with taped seams and stainless steel rings so it won’t rust either.A camping chair elevates you off the unforgiving ground, providing the perfect spot to eat, drink and relax.

The chair design allows you to find the perfect sitting angle simply by leaning back and shifting your body weight, allowing you to look up at the stars (hence the name). If there is an unexpected rain shower, you won’t need to worry about rushing to get the chair undercover. Setup is a straightforward and speedy affair: two poles are slotted into their pouches, the outer frame is snapped into place (internal pole elastics mean you don't need to figure out what goes where), and the chair is hung off the two tallest poles. Now better than ever, our Stargaze™ reclining camp chair has been meticulously updated in the pursuit of camp comfort perfection — while maintaining all the features fans know and love. And when you’re ready to recline, simply lean back to activate the auto-reclining mechanism and enjoy a great view of the stars.The moon chair from Ticket to the Moon comes in second, as it’s incredibly ergonomic, comfortable, very lightweight and very easy to fall asleep in. and I appreciate that the design has a relatively narrow shape that makes it easier to slide into tighter spaces. The ALPS Mountaineering King Kong is our favorite camping chair and one of two we deem the most comfortable. During our testing period, we paid close attention to details that matter in a camp chair, like how well the cup holders and pockets work. The rest of the build is equally well-executed, including a sturdy construction, comfortable padding, and functional storage.

Fortunately, most of the chairs we tested were reasonably straightforward — even the more complex packable chairs were a cinch after a small learning curve. In addition to making relaxing, eating, and drinking more comfortable, you can maximize your lounging enjoyment. The material used for the seat is breathable, does not absorb moisture and resists the build-up of odour-causing bacteria. It’s at the perfect height to enjoy and manage a fire pit and stretch out tired legs, and as well as fitting three humans, it also spacious enough for a dog to curl up on, too. It was subjected to near-daily exposure to water, endless amounts of sand and wind, and a heavy rotation of campers claiming it as their own in the group’s chair circle around the wood-burning stove.This camp chair stood apart from the competition thanks to its innovative FlexGrid fabric that offers a ton of comfort while also alleviating pressure points and conforming to your body. When it’s time to pack up, Stargaze easily disassembles in just a few steps and neatly fits into the included carrying case until the next adventure. It's a bit shorter than most traditional chairs, and we always felt that bringing it with us was totally worth it. Custom-made for summer chilling in your garden or outside your tent, it contains soft sponge padding in the seat, back, and headrest which is covered in a breathable 3D polyester mesh to keep you exceptionally cool in hot, sunny weather.
