Great for a long weekend with a group, or an extended family camp-out. Available exclusively from GO Outdoors Comfort While it's somewhat personal, our 35 testers (of different ages and ability) generally agreed on the best camping chairs for comfort and for tall or short people, as well as the worst. We also dropped each chair when folded and unfolded to see if they could survive a few bumps and scrapes over their lifetime.

At T3 we place a high value on the authenticity of the product advice we offer, and each of the camping chairs featured here has been extensively field tested by our outdoor-expert reviewers. The chairs have been taken out on camping trips and various al fresco adventures, and put through their paces on a variety of terrain types, to assess how easy they are to transport and put up. Each has then been tested against a set of criteria, including design, features, functionality, stability, build, material quality and robustness. How to choose the best camping chair for you The surface you're setting the camping chair up on Even the best camping chair might not be suitable for all environments. Think about whether you'll be taking your chair to the beach, because unless the chair has specially designed flat feet, it'll likely sink.

Ease of folding and unfolding Some camping chairs are a bit more stiff to open if you have reduced strength.Padded chairs These can take longer to dry. While they can be more comfortable, the padding acts a bit like a sponge and could stay wet for several hours. Make sure they can go under some cover in a heavy downpour. While none of the chairs had major issues, the best emerged without a scratch, while the worst had scuffs and scrapes on their frames. Portability Lightweight camping chairs, with roomy bags and a small footprint were the best. The worst were heavy, large and protruding bits of the frame hit our legs when being carried. Ease of folding and unfolding A great choice for families wanting comfortable, fuss-free camping, or couples wanting extra space for storage and fun. Available exclusively from GoOutdoors.co.uk
