Camping chairs are perhaps one of the most common pieces of “furniture” that people own. Almost every family has a set of camping chairs. Still, it is one of the last things that all of us consider buying unless we are in urgent need of it. Why is that? When asking this question, many will answer with a new question; “why should we own camping chairs?” In this post I will try to make some of its many uses more obvious to the readers. I will also talk a little about some of the different kinds of camping chairs. And maybe you will have an easier time choosing camping chair.
The first and most obvious situation that would require that you buy a set of camping chairs is when you are going camping with your family. If you have kids, it is even more important to have them. Nowadays children are used to the comfortable surroundings in their own home and all the luxury that follows with it. They are not as tough as kids where just a few years ago. If you as parent have the ambition of making your kids fond of being in nature you should do with small steps. One of these steps would be to make the camping trips more comfortable for them. Make them enjoy being in nature. A good way to achieving this is to not make them enjoy their meals on hard rocks. Bring some small camping chairs. It is guaranteed to be a success. When the kids are still small you most likely only go for either short walks or camp with your car close by. On these trips you can bring some pretty good and comfortable camping chairs for both the kids and yourself. The chairs bring a cozy atmosphere to the whole experience, and might help to trigger their lust to be in nature. As the kids grow, you might choose to go a bit further into the wild. Now a camping stool might be more appropriate to bring because of their weight and size. They are not as good as the chairs, but they are still better than sitting on a rock. This way the kids will gradually become less and less dependent on having the luxury of their home with them when camping. Of course this is just one of many steps that should be taken.
Camping chairs is not only for family trips though. It might be that you are a guy/girl that likes to have it comfortable when you are in nature yourself. Maybe you, like me, like to go fishing a lot. In my opinion a camping chair is the most essential thing I bring to a fishing trip, except for the fishing equipment of course. Both when you are looking for fish by the river, and when you are enjoying a cup of coffee by the fire camping chairs are excellent. Even when you are ice fishing they are great. Just put on warm clothes, a pair of Sorel Boots and lean back in your very comfortable reclining camping chair. If you are a hunter you might want to consider bringing your chair to the watch post. It certainly makes it more enjoyable experience. Bird watching is another activity I can think of where it really is nice to have one. If you don't have a long walk to get to where you will fish, hunt or watch birds, you can bring some really comfortable luxury camping chairs.
Even for the beach camping chairs will work great. If you are often at the beach you probably know how much money you could save by having your own sun bed. With one of the more advanced camping chairs those money are almost already saved. These models can be adjusted so much in the back that it almost is a sun bed. And, it is a lot easier to bring to the beach than if had your own sun bed.
A lot of people spend their holidays in RVs. It is no secret that camping chairs are among their best friends. If you ever pass a parked RV you will be certain to see some of the more comfortable camping chairs standing in front of it.
When you already have a camping chair, why not put it to use at home? For parties and things like that they are excellent as spare chairs. I know a lot of people are reluctant of bringing out their camping chairs when they have people over, but what is worst; bringing out the chairs or that people have nowhere to sit?
As you probably know, these chairs are made to fit most situations in camping. And because camping is pretty wide term, that is quite a few situations. You can get them in all kinds of materials, from wood to metal. With padded and stuffed pillows of as hard as a rock. The sizes also vary from small stools to big couches via the regular size chair. Just make sure that it is folding camping chairs.
Now the question is: why shouldn’t you own camping chairs?

Folding camping chairs
The one thing that really revolutionized the camping chair market was when the chairs were made foldable. Folding camping chairs made the chairs a lot easier to bring along on trips and they are just as comfortable as the non folding ones.
When I bought my last camping chair there was one thing that I made sure of; that it was a folding one. For me it makes a world of difference. It is so much easier to both bring and store because of the small space it occupies when folded. Let’s have closer look at them.
This might be a bit unfair, but I will start of with the only bad thing about folding camping chairs. The only problem I have found is that they are usually a bit to heavy to bring on long walks. Even though you can fold them together, they still take their space and it is usually too much for your backpack to handle. However, if you give up some of the comfort, you can get folding chairs that get small enough.
Okay, now that we have the bad thing out of the way, let’s concentrate on the good. And there are plenty of good sides to these chairs.
A common way to camp for regular people is with their cars. Usually the whole family will go for a weekend trip to some chosen destination. Often the parents have a hidden agenda with these trips; they want to teach their children to enjoy nature. That’s great! The problem is that children often become cranky if they don’t have it as comfortable as they have at home. A good way to make a compromise here is to bring some chairs that are good to sit in. But how is a family of four going to bring chairs for everyone in one car? You guessed it; folding camping chairs. They will fit nicely in the trunk of almost any family car. If the family actually has a car that is big enough for four non-folding chairs, they should still consider bringing folding chairs because of the weight. The poles are usually made from aluminum. It is so much easier for both the kids and the parents to move them around as they like.
Most of the folding camping chairs are made in the same height as chairs you have at home. This makes them ideal for eating with the camping table. When a lot of them are also made with a cup holder and small table attached, you will definitely enjoy you time around the fire all night long.
I am a dedicated fly fisherman. I spend most of my spare time in the summer chasing trout in the nearby rivers. My style of fishing is what is called spot fishing. I find a good place in the river that looks like it could contain fish and a sit there and wait until I spot a fish that I can try to catch. After I bought my new folding camping chair this job is a lot easier. Not to mention more comfortable. I guess that the same thing will apply to other outdoor activities like hunting and bird watching.
My girlfriend has found another use of her chair. While I am fishing in the river, she is sunbathing in her chair in the camp. This should tell you that these chairs are both very usable, but also you can get them in different forms, depending on what you are going to use it for. (Tips for choosing camping chair) For example the chair that I have (in the picture above) is a chair that is extremely comfortable, lightweight and has a back that is fairly straight. This is Guide Gear’s “Director’s chair”.
My girlfriends chair has an adjustable back which is a lot higher than mine. This makes it more comfortable for her to lie backwards and relax in the sun. Anyway, if you are going on any kind of camping trip, you should definitely get one or more folding camping chairs.
