Best camping chairs
After a long fun day of playing campsite games, swimming and exploring the local countryside, sitting down on the hard-uneven floor of your awning, the damp grass or perching on the caravan steps, isn’t really what you deserve and soon becomes a little tiresome! Roughing it for a weekend might be bearable, but if you venture on longer camping holidays, you need to invest in the best camping chairs for you and your loved ones so that you can have the comfiest holidays possible. These types of portable, folding, or inflatable camping chairs will make a massive transformation to your campsite contentment. You may decide that portability (like being able to attach to your rucksack) is the most important best camping chair factor, so you will need to consider the size and weight, or you may only need your camping chairs to fold up and stack well and be focusing on optimum padding and luxury. Some of our customers like to maximise comfort but also be able to use their chair at the table for mealtimes and evening card games. The best camping chair for you will depend on what type of camper you are! Generally, the more comfort you want the heavier the camping chair will be. Who knew there would be so many decisions to make about something as simple as a chair? Many camping chairs (and all the ones we sell here on Leisureshopdirect) these days are very good quality and will last a long time if you look after them properly, so you want to make the right choice as your behind could be well looked after for many seasons to come! However, don’t panic as we have tried and tested many and are here to talk you through some of our bestselling camping chairs.

It is very pleasing on the eye and the ability to adjust the angle of the back rest into 7 different positions makes it a very versatile chair.

It’s 45cm seat height (same as a household dining chair) makes it the ideal dining chair. The extra seat and back rest padding allows you to settle in comfort……..great news for those of you who plan to do a lot of taking it easy, after you’ve completed the pitch up marathon!
If you sometimes need a helping hand to get up (applicable to us all after a few glasses of our favourite tipple!) the hard arm rests will provide you with a great deal of support and you can safely push down on them to facilitate your rise!

It is constructed of a strong, but lightweight aluminium frame so is very easy to move around and won't contribute too much weight to your payload.

It comes complete with a neck support / head rest and again this is a very versatile camping chair as it can be put in any one of eight positions. This means you can wine and dine in it, or just as easily an afternoon nap or star gaze on a cloudless night! The hard arms give assistance for standing and its design makes it a sturdy seat, even on uneven ground. There are optional extras for the Isabella Thor camping chair, like the
Isabella chair foot rest,
Isabella side pocket or the
Isabella Chair Bags, that really help your campsite life to be luxurious and easy. Its also worth mentioning that they are light for a large chair and super easy to open out and put away. There’s nothing more humiliating than pitching up at a busy site and having to tussle with wilful folding chairs, in front of other relaxing smug campers, especially if your awning wasn’t well behaved on erection!

Chairs, chairs, chairs…it’s easy to misjudge how much we depend on them for comfort and ease until we are away from home. After a day or two of camping or touring without something comfortable in which to park one’s posterior, however, is enough to make it apparent just how important they are for a civilized holiday. Hopefully, whether you are looking for folding camping chairs, inflatables, wrap-arounds like we have discussed or for different styles like directors chairs or beach chairs, you will find out what suits you best here on Leisureshopdirect.
