The Best Heavy-Duty Camping Chair For Big Guys

The top spot on our list goes to the Portable Camping Quad Chair from Coleman.

To support the extra weight, Coleman uses a sturdy steel frame construction. The seat is wide, measuring 24 inches. This ensures full stability and ample room for you to sit back and relax.

If you’re anything like me and enjoy a cold drink after exploring the trails, then the next feature is much appreciated. Inside the armrest, Coleman made sure to include an insulated pouch that can hold up to four cans.

To your other side, you have a cup holder and a side pocket for storing a book, snacks, your phone or other gear you need.

The seat collapses effortlessly, making it easy to transport in the included carry bag. Lastly, you have four fantastic colors to choose from.

If you’re looking for a camping chair with a high weight limit, scroll no further. This one is fit for King Kong—it’s one of the most robust constructions on today’s list.

It can support up to 800 pounds, and with a seat that’s 30 inches wide, there’s ample room. It’s constructed from 600D polyester, which is thick and durable.

The downside to this high load capacity and solid construction is the considerable weight of approximately 13 pounds.

To the sides are cup holders and pockets for all your essentials. At the back, there’s an additional pocket, which is the perfect size for storing larger belongings.

The chair is super comfy, too, and you can adjust the armrests to suit your preference.

Included is a convenient carry bag that’s easy to use and will keep the chair safe during storage. What’s more, you can choose between three stylish colors of blue, red or khaki.

For those of us who suffer from back problems, a camping chair with sufficient support is crucial. Strongback includes a frame-integrated lumbar support system. The design works to conform to the natural curve of the spine, which prevents slouching.

It’s an award-winning chair, backed by a two-year warranty. There are four color options, even a neat camo design.

The chair consists of a heavy-duty 600D polyester seat and a black powder-coated steel frame.

Strongback recommends the chair for people who are 5 feet 8 inches or taller. Don’t worry, though; there’s also one for shorter people. The seat sits 18 inches above the ground, and from the ground to the tallest point, the chair measures 35.5 inches.

It’s also effortless to fold and carry with you, a feature I’d have appreciated on my last trip.

Lots of gear and a heavy and cumbersome chair equals a tired camper. Luckily, the Strongback Elite weighs a reasonable 11.9 pounds and folds into a compact package, ready for the included backpack-style carry bag.

For campers who love to go on hikes and need a portable chair, we highly recommend this one by Kijaro. It offers superb comfort and is effortless to take with you on the trail. Allowing you to stop, rest and gaze at the amazing views.

It weighs slightly under 10 pounds. When you lock it, you’ll have the carry strap ready to throw it over your shoulder, and you’re off.

Once you’re at your location, unlock it, and sit down. The chair provides optimal comfort—its no-sag design prevents that uncomfortable hammock seat that often leads to backaches. Instead, it will support you in all the right places.

To each side are mesh cup holders for your drinks. Additionally, you’ll have a zippered organizer and mesh pockets for your small stuff.

There’s an abundance of color options—11, to be exact. All include ripstop polyester fabric, which has a high resistance to wear and tear.

Whether you’re going on a hike or looking for a comfy chair for the next cookout, Coleman’s got you covered. The Broadband Mesh Quad Camping Chair is compact yet offers quite the durability.

The chair is excellent for medium to tall people—the seat sits 18.1-inch above the ground. Coleman used nylon mesh fabric, which provides fantastic ventilation on hot days. With a width of 21.3 inches, it isn’t the broadest, but the comfort makes up for it.

Cup holders are essential on a camping chair, and of course, Coleman included one. The mesh holder is suitable for an average can, though it may be too small if you’re using a koozie. To each side are comfortable armrests.

The heavy-duty steel frame, which comes with a one-year warranty, supports the seat. It folds effortlessly for portability, and won’t take up much space in the trunk. You can always use the sling bag when you’re traveling on foot.

Sadly, this option can only accommodate up to 250 pounds, which is lower than most others on our list. But, as it only weighs 3.8 pounds, it’s also the lightest.

Timber Ridge offers a fantastic camping chair for folks who are spending time by the lake or in the backyard. It’s an excellent chair with lots to offer, and with a weight capacity of 300 pounds, it’s perfect for today’s list.

This option has a high, 23-inch back, topped with a soft headrest. To the sides are durable ABS armrests that offer outstanding comfort due to their thick foam padding. The seat, however, is narrow compared to the others on the list, measuring only 20 inches in width.

A unique aspect of this product is how it folds. It’s not the typical umbrella-like mechanism. Instead, it merely collapses together in a square shape. Timber Ridge includes a carry bag to help with transportation.

It’s also lightweight—at roughly 9.5 pounds. The aluminum frame contributes to its lightness, without compromising stability. Included is a one-year warranty.

You have two color options to choose from, blue and green. It’s an outstanding chair, perfect for some outdoor leisure on a lazy Sunday.

When camping in the summer, having a refuge from the sun is highly appreciated. This camping chair by Alpha Camp comes with a compatible overhead canopy that provides up to 50 UPF sun protection.

This product is oversized and super comfy. When unfolded, it measures 36.6 inches by 23.6 inches and can accommodate a weight of up to 300 pounds.

Everything screams summer comfort. It includes several panels of mesh, making the seat breathable, with natural ventilation coming through.

Alpha Camp used durable steel with an anti-rust hammer tone finish, which stands up effortlessly against outside elements, including rain and moisture. The legs are thick, ensuring both stability and sturdiness.

For your comfort, it includes padded armrests, a cup holder and smart storage for your phone.

For comfort at the BBQs over the summer, Browning Camping has an option worthy of a look. The Fireside Chair delivers a sturdy Pro-Tec, powder-coated steel frame, suited with durable fabric. It can accommodate a person weighing up to 300 pounds.

The chair folds conveniently into the 7 inches by 45 inches carry bag and weighs just 11.6 pounds. It’s easy to take with you on foot to your location.

One thing that’s always bothersome is a chair that gets hot. Fortunately, Browning Camping thought of this and used reinforced mesh at the center of the back to provide ventilation. The backrest is tall, which adds to the comfort by providing head support.

Another pro is the design—the neutral green colors with a pop from the golden logo gives it a stylish finish. You also have the option of a pink logo.

For my fellow big guys, the Big Bear XXL camping chair by Oniva is fantastic. Whether you’re tailgating or going to an outdoor sporting event, it can easily support a weight of 500 pounds.

With a durable steel frame, hinged feet that adjust to uneven surfaces and a seat of sturdy polyester fabric, the Big Bear won’t budge. Backing its quality is a lifetime guarantee.

It’s stylish, too. It sports a two-color black and tan design, finished with complementary stitching on the perimeter. On the side, as well as a cup holder, is a zippered pocket to keep important items secure.

Folding it is straightforward and will only take a minute, although a thorough guide is included.

The star feature has to be the 600D Oxford fabric. This is both durable and water-resistant, excellent for outdoor use.

At the back, you’ll have reinforced mesh, which runs the height and length of the chair. This ventilates, preventing an uncomfortably warm seat.

Other features we love are the padded armrests and the side table so snacks or your iPad can be close at hand. Here, you’ll also find a cup holder.
