Sitting In Comfort At Your Campsite

April 5, 2024 - No matter where you camp (remote location or designated camping areas) you will want to be able to sit comfortably in your camping chair and enjoy the campfire on a cool evening, or soak up the warmth of the sun during the day while on your outdoors adventure.

Some people just want to sit or lounge in their camp chair and snooze and others want to just sit and read, use their cell phone and / or drink their favorite beverage while chatting with others in the group. Others like to just sit comfortably around a campfire and chat. Many camping chairs include drink holders, some as many as 12 drinks, cooler bags, canopy, cell phone protector and mesh storage bags for miscellanous items like books, magazines and snacks.

Most folding camp chairs are lightweight and easy to store and pack in their bag for transport to your camping trips and other outdoor activities.

I like a good heavy duty camp chair no matter if I'm using it for camping, tailgating, music events or what. I don't weigh that much but I want the chair to be sturdy no matter who sits in it. The chairs shown above are some of the best in heavy duty folding camping chairs with multiple features, like canopy, footrest, folding chairs for people with a bad back, for a large heavy weight person and with a side table, reclining back all to meet your needs. If I am using my camping chair in cold weather I also want to stay warm, so I wear different items of my heated clothing, such as, my heated vest or jacket, heated socks and if it is windy I may also have on my heated beanie cap to keep my head warm.

Some people prefer a tall camping folding directors chair with its features of side table with cup holder and organizational pouches. These type folding chairs are usually taller and can also be used by professionals such as for vendor shows, teachers, artists, etc. where they prefer to be more on an eye level with someone who is standing.

Others like the low seat offered by some beach and lawn chairs. These low to the ground chairs usually meet the requirements of outdoor concerts and if you have no table around you can easily sit your drink and things on the ground beside your chair.

A sturdy, comfortable camp chair is not the only thing you need to make your camping trip a fun and enjoyable outing. Don't forget a good camping tent, sleeping bags, cook stove, little portable washing machine, lots of good food and drinks and be sure to always take along a full first aid kit.
