We got some admiring nods en route to the celebration—and we had one of the more comfy seats at the show. Today’s specialty backpacking chairs are impressively small and light. They’re also far more expensive and significantly less comfortable than typical full-size camp chairs. Choose from a foot pump, hand pump or an electric pump which will do all the hard work for you. You can also use your pump for your inflatable tent and camping furniture, making it a useful addition to your camping kit. If you want something a bit easier to access, you could always drill a small hole in one corner of the tray table and affix the D-Ring there, but many people will balk at the idea of defacing their chair. Either way, it’s easy to add a bit of storage if you want or need it. The good news is that there are options available, and the Ozark Trail XXL Director Chair is a great option. We’ll be quick to point out that it’s not a perfect option, but it definitely belongs on your shortlist of options to consider. GCI's Freestyle Rocker is sturdy and supportive but provides a soothing swaying motion. Sitting up higher than most camping furniture, the chair delivers a classic, cozy living-room feel and features outdoor-ready shocks that endured our durability drop test beautifully. The sturdy steel frame supports padded armrests, a back with a breathable mesh panel, and a cup holder for added comfort. The industry is flooded with options for portable chairs, from compact seats that are light enough for extended treks to heavy-duty rocking chairs that let you recreate your living room on the campground. “We also liked the fact the twist-off lid is attached to the bottle, so there’s no chance of losing it while drinking,” our tester added. While Glastonbury, Wilderness and Latitude have come and gone this year, festival season is far from over, with Reading & Leeds, Boardmasters and All Points East all still to come. To ensure you pack everything important (at best you forget dry shampoo, at worst your ticket), a thorough checklist is a must. After testing all kinds for portability, comfort, durability, and more, our favorite is the Kijaro Dual Lock Camping Chair, a versatile, supremely comfortable folding chair that's packed with features for a bargain price. It can be a little bit heartbreaking to find a gorgeous relaxation spot — with nowhere to hang up your favorite hammock. Thanks to Eagles Nest Outfitters, you can have the comfort of hammock lounging without needing trees, trying to transport a clunky free-standing hammock, or being beholden to the location of trees on your campsite. We love this chair for its incredible comfort, the DL Lounger features a high back topped with a cushioned headrest, a slight recline, and breathable fabric that practically begs you to take a nap in it. You can set the legs at either a 3- or 20-inch height, and there are two storage pockets and a cup holder for your lounging convenience. We recommend buying this type only if you intend to carry your chair long distances, whether you’re backpacking or trekking across Central Park. If you do need a fits-in-a-knapsack chair, we recommend the Helinox Chair One. We found this model to be slightly more comfortable and easier to pack than other, similar chairs. In our opinion, the best camping chair is the ALPHA CAMP Oversized Folding Chair.
