15 Excellent Camp Chairs for People Who Love Lounging Outside

As much fun as it is to sit on the ground next to a fire pit come fall, there’s one accessory that could really elevate your outdoor game: the best camp chair you can find. A great camp chair ensures you’re well situated no matter where you are—whether you’re camping, at the beach, at the park, or rocking out at a concert. And with the reality check of a rise in COVID-19 cases, there’s even more reason to treat yourself to a comfortable camping chair that makes spending time social distancing outdoors even cozier.

Luckily, there are all sorts of camp chairs available. The best ones are foldable for throwing into the car and storing without sucking up space, and there are many styles and useful features, including padded armrests and headrests, cup holders for your water or wine, attachable insulated drink coolers, and canopies for shade. There are chairs that sit low to the ground, recline so you can snooze or stargaze, camping love seats, and even portable rocking chairs for ultra relaxation. And attention avid hikers: A backpacking chair with an ultralight aluminum frame can make an excellent addition to your camping gear. The best backpacking chairs come with carrying straps (handles or backpacking straps) or stuff down small into carry bags for portability so that it’s simple to have them on hand, no matter where you wind up in the wilderness.

Below are some of the best-selling camp chairs on the market from popular brands like Helinox, REI Co-op, Kelty, Alps Mountaineering, and Coleman that are sold at big-name retailers like REI, Backcountry, Amazon, and Target. Sit back and start shopping.
