Senior staff writer Lauren Dragan said the Renetto is her most comfortable camping chair. In fall 2023, we asked a panel of paid testers with a wide range of body types, dexterities, and mobilities to examine our picks and other camping chairs and to share their perspectives. Kalee Thompson is the senior editor heading up Wirecutter’s kid coverage. When she wrote the first version of this guide, Kalee lived in Southern California, where she tested chairs on three group camping trips. Living in the south, spending time outside is practically second nature. Between barbecues, crawfish boils, and annual family reunions, the great outdoors sort of feels like my second home. Other chairs we tested sacrificed too much comfort in order to shave mere ounces off of their weights, and we don’t think the trade-off was worth it. Keep in mind that lightweight chairs won’t be nearly as comfortable as traditional camping chairs, so take the word comfortable with a grain of salt. Ozark Trail realtree wave fishing director’s chair is made from a durable powder-coated steel frame that is sure to stand up to whatever you throw at it. The chair’s adjustable legs will keep you in a comfortable position no matter the terrain. It features plenty of storage for all your fishing gear? including a side accessory pocket? a molle style side pocket large enough to hold a 370 tackle box and 2 fabric cupholders. Plus? a PE rod holder that attaches to the front chair frame? ensuring your fishing pole is always close-by. The wide mouth model means you can also pour from it and cleaning is a breeze. Needless to say, I’m grabbing one right now, since it’s only $27. They’ll be perfect for flyfishing days by the water when I need to sit down and untangle lines, or tie new flies on. They’ll add modest but welcome weight on the backpacking trail, paying dividends when I arrive at my site and have a comfortable place to sit. Camp chairs come in all kinds of styles, sizes, shapes, and layouts.
