Camping Furniture

Camping furniture can make a big difference to your outdoor experience, turning camp sites into a home away from home. If you are planning a trip away with family or friends having the flexibility to provide comfortable seating off the ground, a flat surface to play games or some extra storage space that is clean and dry can make all the difference.

In our Camping Furniture department we stock camping chairs, camp beds, camping tables and storage options with a range of styles meaning you’ll have plenty of choice depending on your needs. Our furniture range includes bestselling brands Coleman, Easy Camp and Vango and premium brand Outwell. All of our furniture is of great quality, sturdy and will last years. Camping furniture will pack up and away for easy transporting and storage between holidays.

So what should you look out for in a camping chair? We recommend looking at the following points for a really comfortable garden chair: Arms, Foot design, Adjustability, Back height, Weight, Construction and cup holder. Arms on a chair makes resting and relaxing more comfortable and will come as either fabric strips or hard plastic arms. Both are equally as comfortable but fabric construction will be lighter and therefore easier to carry into your tent. Foot design refers to the size of the feet on your new camping chair with the larger feet being more stable on soft or uneven ground. Adjustability refers to whether the chair height can be adjusted or the seat reclined and this is found on more expensive chairs. Back height may be considered if you find sitting back against the back of the chair is more comfortable. Some of our chairs come up quite high to support the shoulders and neck for comfort. The weight of the chair is something to be considered if you’re carrying it some distance to a festival or outdoor activity. The lighter the better would be preferred and look out for if the chair comes with a carry bag and folds up small for storage. Lighter chairs are generally made from aluminium which is great for holding moderate weight, however, if you’re looking for something sturdier check the construction of the chair and the max load weight. Steel chairs will be the most stable and solid of chairs and will hold the most weight. Look out for oversized chairs from Vango and Outwell which hold up to 28 stone and these are great for sitting with kids on your lap. It is worth noting that all of the camping chairs we stock are fully built so you just need to unfold them for use. Finally, the biggest concern is whether the camp chair has a cup holder or two! These are great for socialising and if you aren’t near a camp table.

Camping tables are perfect for family camping holidays where you plan on gathering round the table for eating, socialising and playing games. They’re also great for preparing food and storing items inside your tent. Have a think about the size that you need. We offer large tables where you can add your own seats around as well as picnic tables which include small, matching seats to go around the tent making them excellent value for young families. Look out for if the legs can be adjusted, this is a great feature for balancing a table on uneven ground. Some tables will have independently adjustable legs, some will be able to be adjusted in pairs. For a strong and stable table look for steel construction, however this will be slightly heavier and therefore harder to carry. Aluminium framed tables will be lighter but not as strong. Checking to see if the table includes a carry handle before you buy is worthwhile as they will fold up and allow you to easily move them. Camping brands invest in the surface of the table so check out bamboo tops which are heat and stain resistant, perfect for clumsy campers or fabric tops which are incredibly light weight and can be rolled up with the frame for a compact size. Some of the tables we offer are small and great for side tables in bedrooms or if weight and size is a consideration on your next camping trip.


Camp beds are incredibly popular and are a really comfortable alternative to an airbed. Camping beds come in a single of double size and are great because they allow storage underneath the bed in your tent. We’d recommend these for family camping holidays where you can load the car up and not need to consider space and weight and they save time because the frame is already assembled and you don’t have to waste time and breathe blowing up an inflatable mattress. Camping beds or cots are fantastic because you’re off the floor so heat loss through the ground is non-existent so you’ll be warmer and more comfortable.

Finally, consider buying a storage cupboard if you’re camping as a large group or family for a week or longer. These really do help keep you organised and can be used for food or clothing depending on your needs. Look for a storage cupboard or kitchen cupboard with a hard top which can allow items to be kept on top, for food preparation or doubled up as a bedside table. All cupboards have solid shelves and a door to keep items hidden away. Look for pockets on the side of the cupboards too for storing cutlery or bits and bobs.
