When you choose to go camping, you need to have certain luxuries that will allow you to enjoy your time better. No, we are not talking about taking a television, computer or cell phone along with you, but rather something that will allow you to stay comfortable.

If you have ever had the opportunity to use a log as a chair for an entire weekend, then you will know the importance of bringing a chair with you the next time you head out. So the only real question one could ask is what is the best camping chair available? The answer to this question is not a simple one though. Seeing as though everyone is different, something which may be perfect for one person may not be right at all for another.

Instead of trying to find the best camping chair, what you need to do is take the time to determine what your needs are in the chair. If you plan on only sitting for short periods of time, yet expect to be walking or hiking a lot from one camping spot to the next, then a simple little canvas tripod would be perfect. Often backpack chairs are very nice ways to take your seating with you to the beach or favorite lookout spot. They fit right on your back and fold into a very comfortable chair. Perhaps cup holders and a magazine/book holder is a necessity for you. However, if you are getting older and want something that is extremely comfortable and perfect for sitting in the same location for hours on end, these tripod chairs will quickly become one of the most uncomfortable chairs you have ever sat on. Adjustable backs, comfortable cushioning, easily transported and light... all of these issues come into play when looking into a camping chair.

By taking the time to figure out exactly what your needs are, you will be able to determine which is the best camping chair for your particular needs. In the end it really comes down to two things; portability and comfort. You need to figure out how portable the chair needs to be and how much you plan on using it. These two factors will allow you to make the determination between an expensive lawn chair and a very affordable tripod stool.
