We all enjoy sitting around the campfire in the evening and roasting marshmallows or telling stories with our family and friends.  But sometimes there are not enough chairs for all the adults and children.  At these times we find the kids sitting on the adults laps or

Super Fun Animal Folding Chairs

standing.  And at other times we find the adults standing while the kids take their comfortable, folding camping chairs.

Believe it or not, there are folding camping chairs made just for kids and I highly suggest you get some before your next camping trip.  Pacific Play Tents makes some really affordable and cute folding camping chairs for kids including the following:

• Earnest the Elephant
• Peter the Panda
• Larry the Lion
• Katie the Kitty

The summer is almost here and the warm weather is beckoning with the visions of cool lakes, shady backyards and food on the grill. The one item everyone is looking for is the perfect folding camping chair to compliment the scene. The best camping chairs are made of durable frames, sturdy waterproof material for the back and seat and often come with places to hold beverages of varying sizes.

The Kelty Deluxe Lounge chair only weighs ten pounds yet a three hundred pound person can sit comfortably and enjoy the scenery. This top of the line chair comes with reflective accents, carry sack and is manufactured from steel. The sturdiness of it will be well appreciated when it comes time to use. The outdoors world isn’t always as predictable as we might like.

This Kelty model measures twenty four and one half inches in depth with the height of the chair back measuring forty three and one quarter inches.

Folding camping chairs such as the Freddy the Frog Chair are specially designed for children as they come in different animal shapes and colors. They have the same high quality designing that the adult sized chairs do and last years. For children be sure that you have a chair that is weightier on the bottom, so that it doesn’t tip or sink into the ground. These chairs offer a weightier bottom and the wide feet that prevent that from happening.

Bear in mind that if you will be camping, as many people use their camping chairs for, then the terrain where you will be using the chair is also important. Check the feet of the chair to assure that they are wide footed variety if you will be camping in softer soil or a sandy area. The chair legs of those with the thin ends tend to sink into the sand or soil and may cause the chair to tip over.

Most camp sites have places to sit like a picnic table bench or a tree stump and sometimes they have steel or iron chairs but I think one of the most comfortable outdoor chairs ever made is the Adirondack chair.  I remember sitting in one on the beach at Gull Lake in northern Minnesota in the early morning and watching the sunrise over the lake while leaning back in that chair.  I thought I was in heaven.  The only problems with Adirondack chairs are they are very expensive and are normally difficult to transport.  I have seen and sat in plastic ones but they simply are not the same as a good wooden one. 

I searched high and low and finally found a folding camping chair that I think is just as comfortable as an Adirondack chair, a lot less expensive and very easy to transport.  Its the Crazy Creek Leisure Chair.  In fact, I take it on every camping trip now and I take it everywhere that I am going to be spending time outdoors.  I’m a big guy so I’m not very comfortable in a standard web based lawn chair.  And those lawn chairs are not sturdy enough for me.  The Crazy Creek Leisure Chair has plenty of room, is very sturdy and it even has a small, attached folding table that holds a cup of coffee or a can of pop or beer and still has room for a newspaper, magazine or a plate for lunch.  This folding camping chair is really convenient and extremely comfortable.

I took that folding camping chair to the Rum River in Minnesota last summer and sat in it while watching the sun set with my wife, daughter and her boyfriend.  We each had a win cooler and roasted some potatoes over the fire.  It felt like I was in heaven again.  So if you are looking for a comfortable, sturdy, inexpensive and easily transportable folding camping chair, check out the Crazy Creek Leisure Chair, go to the lake or river and find your little piece of heaven.
