The chair legs are strong and sturdy – this is clearly a quality item and is capable of supporting people up to 120kg in weight.

Style: The moon-shaped design of the chair is unique and stylish, adding a touch of sophistication to your camping setup. The KingCamp chair uses a tried and trusted folding collapsible leg system, seen on countless other competitors. However, in this case there are three poles emanating from the feet rather than the usual two – this provides greater stability than cheaper alternative. In terms of extras the KingCamp excels. There are three storage aids – on the left arm is a cool box which will hold some ice to chill a can of drink – great idea! In terms of comfort, it’s what we would call acceptable. Not earth shatteringly great, but fine for an hour or so to have dinner or a few drinks. It’s not the sort of chair you can sink in to and fall asleep – the sitting position is fairly upright. King by name, King by nature. We were hooked on this chair from the moment we removed it from its drawstrung bag and unfolded the legs – you literally sink into it and never want to get up again!

Folding Camping Chairs

There is a standard drinks holder in the right armrest which can hold a 500ml bottle of ale, and also an awesome cooler box in the left – perfect to keep a couple of tinnies chilling on a hot day! Aimed at the younger market (although certainly not restricted to them) with a bunch of loud colours in the lineup, the Orson is essentially a large bag which can be waved around your head to fill up with air and then sealed via a velcro strip. Sometimes you think you’ve seen all the camping chairs that could possibly be created – and then the Alpha Camp folding camping chair pops up! Then the clever bit – the velcro part is rolled over itself a few times to slightly reduce the volume of the enclosed space. This increases the air pressure inside and gives the bag a decent amount of support. And boy is this lounger comfortable! Easy to clean: The chair is made from easy-to-clean materials, making it simple to keep it looking great even after extended use.

You promised me the Moon and all I ended up with was this chair – well to be honest it was a great deal! Portability: The chair is lightweight and comes with a carry bag, making it easy to transport and store. The KingCamp Padded Director’s Chair continues that tradition and offers some nice little extras which raise it on to the winner’s podium of folding camping chairs.Stability: The chair is designed to be stable and sturdy, with four legs that provide good balance and support. The Alpha Camp chair folds down into a 137cm long bag (53.9 inches) and weighs about 6kg (1 stone) – this isn’t the lightest, but the weight gives a feeling of solidity and reliability. It will fit easily into a car boot or campervan/caravan, but you would not want to be carrying it a long distance. The Coleman is light but strong and doesn’t take up much space at all when folded. The dimensions are only 78 x 55 x 13 cm and the weight just under 3.5kg – pretty good specs.
