Camping Chairs & Stools Folding Chairs & Deck Chairs

The aluminum poles are quite long and awkward to maneuver, and it takes extra time to slide them through the fabric sleeves and bow them into place. These pins are a little harder to use, especially during takedown, and they are more likely to pinch the skin. Heavier cathedral-style canopy tents can often be challenging because of their weight; however, most are fairly simple to deploy. The Eurmax and E-Z Up are counted among these heavier tents, but setting them up was surprisingly straightforward.

It can hold a lot of supplies, and it’s easy to carry and set up. The King Kong chair has two cupholders and intuitively placed storage pouches under each armrest; unlike the Coleman chair, though, this one doesn’t have a cooler pouch. No other chair in our testing pool—except perhaps the extremely pricey Yeti Trailhead—came close to matching the King Kong’s build quality. Of the chairs we tested, the Coleman chair was the only one that came with a built-in cooler bag, which can hold four standard-size beer or soda cans. The chair also has the round mesh cupholder found on most chairs of this type. “I bought these for my daughter and grandson when we take our trips to the beach,” said one reviewer about this best-selling chair.

The included stakes are very short, thin, and somewhat ineffective; we recommend purchasing larger thicker stakes for your Caravan V-Series. The canopy material is adequate but less rugged, and rainwater tends to drip through during a substantial downpour. The wheels on the roller bag are mostly cosmetic, as they are very ineffective on most terrains. That said, if you don’t expect to use your tent in rugged environments, this is a solid option for a nice big canopy tent at a bargain price. Normally, we’d caution against ozark trail table buying a chair with a significantly wider seat than you need.

If you’re unsure which camping chair to buy, you can’t go wrong with the classic Coleman Cooler Quad Chair. Camping chairs can also be reasonably priced, casual (albeit less comfy and less durable) alternatives to patio furniture, if you don’t mind the lack of aesthetic appeal. At under 3 lbs, this is one of the lightest folding chairs on the market.

Jason is a native of Utah and seeks time in the outdoors every week. He spends his free time playing at local lakes, dunes, and campgrounds, where he routinely uses canopies for shade. He also is no stranger to the sideline, where he enjoys sitting under a canopy to watch family members play youth sports. Jason is also an avid car camper, hiker, and backpacker and ozark trail table has extensive knowledge of general outdoor gear. On hot, sunny days, we don’t think we could remain inside the Easy Up for long periods. Even with the drapes stowed, there is less ventilation than in larger, open canopies.

The Pacific Breeze Easy Up is a beach tent with a half-dome design and enough space to shade one or two adults. Its one-pull setup requires more muscle than anticipated, but overall, it is hassle-free and takes only seconds to erect. At 5.4 pounds, it’s the lightest canopy in our lineup, making it very portable.

This shelter is also fully surrounded by a 10-inch-wide ground skirt, which goes the extra mile to keep creepy crawlers and flying annoyances at bay. Most of our testers found the REI Co-op Skyward Chair to be one of the least comfortable chairs in our testing pool. People who did like it tended to have smaller body types, so if you find that other camping chairs are too big for you, the Skyward might be a good fit. It has the most comfortable and supportive seat shape of any chair we tested. The Dual Lock chair has a firmer backrest and seat bottom than the competition.

It goes by several names including the old U.S. 62 bridge and Newcastle Bridge. Originally constructed in 1923 as the first federal highway project built in Oklahoma, this truss bridge consisted of ten spans over the South Canadian River. It closed to traffic in 1963 and later lost two spans during a storm in 2013. Seven additional spans were also demolished for safety reasons, and the remaining span was donated to the City of Newcastle. The old bridge can be viewed as you cross the Canadian River on I-44, or take exit 108A off I-44 southbound and turn right onto Meridian Road.
