Camping chairs are often considered a necessity for camping now

Best Camping Chair

Camping chairs are essential to making the experience comfy and relaxing. This award celebrates the best camping chair of the 2025 season.

Best Camping Chair

Olpro Olympus XL

With a 130kg weight capacity, this XL, steel-framed camping chair from Olpro provides a comfy and sturdy seat that remains stable on uneven terrain. 

The rounded 'bucket' style seat, with padded fabric, is ergonomically designed, providing great lumbar support that helps you to unwind, whether you're camping, at the beach or relaxing in the garden. Plus, its insulated cup holder ensures you've always got a refreshment close to hand. 

The carry bag makes it easy to transport the chair to and from your pitch. This is another great example of well-made and good-value product from a successful British brand.

Highly Commended

Stargaze EVO X

The Nemo Stargaze was named the best camping chair in last year’s Camping Awards, and the new version has taken that design and developed it even further. 

It has the same swinging and auto-reclining action as its predecessor, but is even easier to set up, with a one-step assembly process – perfect for taking in the night sky.

The thick padding on the seat and backrest of this folding chair provides excellent comfort, with a solid steel frame and oversized feet for robustness and stability.

The pocket at the side of one of the armrests gives you handy storage and it includes a carry bag for easy transport and storage.
