Camp Chairs


G'day everyone. The time is fast approaching where we will need to replace our camp chairs. Currently have Coleman but am looking for back support and comfort. There seems to be a plethora of chairs out there. Would be pleased to hear of members thoughts of what they consider are the best fold up camp chair. Cheers Daz

Coleman - especially with a 40mm piece of foam on the seat:

Closely followed by Dune - there are a few models:

got mine a while back at BCF, not cheap but had vital ingredient- bases made of metal, not plastic.
Rated for 150kg too, in case the missus sits on my knee after a few red wines

We got 2 of the Aldi ones last time they were on special
They were not comfortable to sit in for me
So we returned them no problem at all
We also been looking at the BCF ones the backrest was a lot better but the armrest were an disaster to me
so we still looking
It seems that the one's we bought by BBQ galore a few years ago still have to do for a while


Cheers John

Thanks for the tip about the chair Marj. I was thinking of heading to Aldi on Saturday to buy one. Looks like I'll save my money and put it towards a different one.

We have Wild Country ones bought from Aussie Disposals. Adjustable with high back and solid plastic arms. They do not fold up to a small package but are flat. Not cheap either. $80+. But have good back support and a head pillow

 If you did want the Aldi one Pam it's here if you do.

But I found it very sloping, felt like I was slouching and made my back ache.

Up to you. Might be different for other people.

We have had most types over the years. Our latest is the Oztent King Kokoda chairs.
The chairs have lumber support adjustable straps. They are sold in most camping stores.

Big chair (360x600).jpg Australian backsides are getting BIGGER AND BIGGER! Here's a camping chair rated to a quarter of a ton seen on sale at a camping shop recently.

Another vote for the Oztent King Kokoda chairs. Ours is a Kokoda chair which has a slightly lower back height to the King Kokoda (doesn't seem to be available anymore). We love the adjustable lumbar support and the solid aluminium arms. We find it very comfortable and has a 5 year warranty.

 Thanks for the offer Marj but I think I'll keep trying out each camp chair until I find the one that's "just right"...a bit like Goldielocks. biggrin biggrin biggrin

Stay safe.

I can not recommend a good camp chair, as we are all different, and that is perhaps why there are so many different ones

When I want a new camp chair, I go into a camping store, and sit on just about every single one

I buy the one which I feel is the most comfortable for me

I am usually sorry to throw a chair away, perhaps over the years it had sagged into my body shape

Six years ago before we hit the road, we bought two Super padded jumbo coleman chairs. The reason was a) the padding, b) the adjustability and height to be able to eat at a table c) comfort and d) warranty

Less than 12 months later, the padding had gone/sagged, so we returned it to BCF and as it was still under warranty, got our money back. (Note: they said we were using the chairs too much)

We replaced with chairs that were comfortable, good height to be able to eat at table, and trampoline straps on the side. Within two years we started replacing the bungy cords. I think these were Dune.

Now, we have Oztrail 5 - have had for the past two years. These  have been the cheapest and have lasted the best.

Whatever you choose, you need to be able to sit at a table and eat, as well as enjoy as a relaxing outdoor chair. So make sure you try before you buy.
