At easy camp, our camping chairs focus on simple, user-friendly design: many models fold down fast, pack neatly into a carry bag, and open in seconds when you arrive. You can also choose between comfort-first designs with armrests and cup holders, and compact options that save boot space for the rest of your kit.

Start with how you spend your time outdoors. If you like long breakfasts and unhurried evenings, choose a full-size chair with supportive back height and comfortable armrests. This is where details such as a cup holder and padded touchpoints make a difference over several days. If you tend to move around, do day trips, or simply want to keep packing simple, look for a smaller packed size and a lighter chair to carry.
It also helps to think about where the chair will live when you travel. Some people prefer a chair that stays ready in the vehicle, while others want seating that packs down small enough to tuck beside sleeping gear. With us, you can match the chair to your routine and get going quickly with no hassle – just pack up and head out on adventures.
A reliable camping chair is mainly about three things: frame strength, fabric comfort, and everyday practicality. Steel frames are a popular choice for stability, especially if you like a firmer, planted feel on uneven ground. For the fabric, consider how it feels against bare arms on warm days and how easy it is to wipe clean after meals. Small add-ons can also matter more than you expect, such as a carry bag that makes the chair easy to store, or armrests that support your posture when you sit for longer.
If you are building a complete camp living area, it often makes sense to choose seating alongside your table and storage so everything works together. You can browse matching gear in our range of camping furniture and put together a setup that suits your space and your style.
If you want confidence in your seat, check the maximum load first. Many models in the easy camp range are designed to support up to 110 kg, giving you a clear reference point when you compare options for adults, teenagers, or guests at camp. Folding designs are also worth prioritising if you like straightforward set-up: unfold, lock into position, and you are ready. At pack-down, the chair folds back into its carry bag so you can store it neatly and keep the rest of the vehicle organised.
Weight is the other side of the story. A more substantial, comfort-focused folding chair can weigh around 6.3 kg, which is fine if you usually carry it a short distance from the vehicle and value a sturdier feel. If you carry your chair further, choosing a lighter option can make a real difference.
If your idea of camping includes slow mornings and lingering meals, focus on supportive seating with well-thought-out features. The Oak Chair is a great example of a classic folding design: it opens and folds in seconds, has foam-padded armrests, and includes a cup holder for your drink. It uses a steel frame and recycled polyester fabric, and it is rated to a maximum load of 110 kg. The seat height of 44 cm feels familiar if you prefer an easy sit-down and stand-up.
Want a similar feel with less weight to carry? The Spruce Arm Chair keeps the quick-fold format and cup holder, but is lighter, and the wide adjustable armrests let you fine-tune your sitting position. If you are choosing one camping chair to use day after day, these comfort details are often what you notice most.
For touring, short breaks, and busy packing lists, compact chairs help you keep space for the rest of your kit. Shopping for camping chairs that UK campers can rely on often means balancing packed size against back support. The Willow Compact Chair packs down very small (10 x 10 x 34 cm) and weighs 1.5 kg, making it easy to stash in the boot. If you like the compact idea but want more upper-back support, the Willow Compact Chair L adds a high backrest while still packing neatly.
Low seating can be useful too. The Willow Base Chair sits close to the ground, which works well in a tent porch or when you are cooking at a lower level. For minimal pack size, the Hazel Seater is an ultra-compact solution that folds flat and can even be used as a mat. If you have ever wished you had a quick “spare seat”, a compact camp chair can be exactly that.
Sometimes you want a softer, lounge-style sit for reading, playing cards, or stretching out after a walk. Inflatable flocked seating can be a good option because it packs away easily when deflated and feels gentler than a traditional frame chair. In the Maple range, you can choose anything from a simple inflatable chair to an armchair-style option, a lounge set with a pouf, or a reclining lounger. These are particularly handy if you like comfort but want to keep bulky gear to a minimum.
It can also be smart to add one small “extra seat” to your setup. A compact stool is useful as a quick perch at the cooking area, a footrest, or an extra place for a guest to sit without rearranging your whole camp space.
Even the most comfortable chair feels less inviting if your shoulders get cold after sunset. A simple fix is to pack a warm layer you can grab quickly while you stay outside. A blanket is ideal because you can wrap it around your legs, drape it over your shoulders, or share it with someone while you sit and talk. It is also a practical add-on if you have kids who cool down fast when they stop moving.
If you like to keep evenings outdoors going for a little longer, take a look at our camping blankets. Paired with a supportive chair and a hot drink, it is a small piece of gear that can make camp feel more welcoming without adding complexity.
Pick your chair the same way you plan your trips: comfort-first for long stays, compact for touring, or low and minimalist for simple setups. Check the folding style, the chair weight, and the stated maximum load, and then choose the features you will actually use, such as adjustable armrests, a high backrest, or a built-in cup holder. With easy-to-use outdoor gear from easy camp, you can spend less time sorting equipment and more time enjoying the experience.
