The old reliable in the camping chair industry is the fold-up chair with a lightweight aluminum frame. Some feature rubber grippers along the bottom of the frame to help stabilize. Seats are made out of canvas or nylon. Both materials are treated to resist water, which is important if your chair will spend extended time outdoors. The treatment also repels mold and mildew. Some canvas camping chairs have a sun umbrella or a cup holder.
Made by different companies, the double chair is a portable camping chair that's technically two chairs in one. The chairs come equipped with a small table for a divider and often hold beverages. These are ideal for couples' trips, as they fold into a reasonable size and yet are roomy enough for two.
Some camping chairs feature extra embellishments for comfort or convenience. The high-end folding chairs have a pillow headrest or a fold out lower section to stretch out your legs and rest your feet.
Club chairs are collapsible and travel friendly, yet come in a variety of designs. The club chair works for larger people, as they're roomy and soft in design. A cabana chair is also available and includes a canopy that shields you from the sun without sweating you out.
On the minimalistic side of things, stadium-style chairs don't have a frame at all. Rather, just a seat and back section that can fold up. These work for kids or no-frills people who just need a simple place to sit.
