Camping Furniture

All of it inflates or folds. That is the whole idea: furniture that travels flat in the boot, goes up by hand in the time it takes to unload the car, and once it is up sits you, feeds you and puts you to bed with the comfort you have at home. One person carries any piece here, and the heaviest of them is 12 kg.

What counts as camping furniture?

Three jobs, and a camp needs all three. Everything here inflates or folds flat, one person carries it, and it goes up by hand. This page holds the whole range; each line has its own page where the pieces are compared side by side.

Something to sit on

Chairs and recliners that fold, and loungers that inflate. From 1 kg.

Something to put things on

Tables that fold flat, from a 40 cm side table to a 174 cm bench.

Something to lie down on

Sofas that pull out into a bed, beds that fold, loungers that inflate.

Sit, eat or lie down?

Everything on this page inflates, folds or rolls, so it travels flat and goes up fast. What each piece does once it is up is what separates the three lines below. This page does not compare them against each other, because a chair and a camp bed do not answer the same question: each line has its own page, and that is where the side by side tables are.

Something to sit on

The chair is the piece that decides how long the evening lasts, because the first person to get uncomfortable is the one who says they are going to bed. They fold flat or they inflate, and they run from 1 kg of canvas you carry down to the sand up to an iron sun lounger that lives in the yard and never moves.

The question that sorts them is height: low by the fire and the sand, or up at table level where your knees stay straight and you can stand up unaided. They are compared side by side in Chairs.

Something to put things on

A table is the difference between cooking and balancing. Every one of them folds flat enough to slide in beside the rest of the gear, and the range runs from a 40 cm side table that takes a stove and a kettle up to a 174 cm bench at standing height with cabinets under it. In between sit the slotted IGT tables that take a burner flush with the top and grow a piece at a time.

Work backwards from the meal: a stove and a kettle need about 40 cm of surface, and cooking for a family plus the washing up is where the long tops earn their space. They are compared side by side in Tables.

Something to lie down on

This is the one that decides whether the trip was any good, because a bad night outdoors is paid for the whole next day. It is also where the inflatable side of the range does the most work: sofas that pull out into a bed and go flat again in the morning, a lounger with the pump built into it, and a five position piece that goes from sofa to mattress and holds 200 kg either way.

Next to them sit folding camp beds on legs and recliners that lay out flat. The choice is mostly about what you are sleeping on and how far it has to travel. Sleeping pads and mats for the ground are the other half of this line, and all of it is compared side by side in Chill & Rest.

The pieces that do two of the three

Six of these belong to two lines at once, and that is the whole reason to own them. A cooler that unfolds into a table with two stools. A cast iron table with the stools built onto it, out of one bag. A recliner that lays flat into a bed. A camp bed that folds and travels like a chair does. A table with its own cabinet, so the gear travels inside the thing it sits on.

They are worth knowing about before you buy two separate things, because space in the car is the budget that runs out first. Each one appears on both of the pages it belongs to, compared against its own kind on each.

Frequently asked questions

What furniture do I actually need for camping?

A seat each, one surface, and something under you at night. That is the whole list, and everything after it is comfort rather than need. If you are starting from nothing, buy the sleeping side first: a bad chair costs you an evening, and a bad night costs you the next day. Then a table, because eating off your knees gets old faster than anyone expects. Chairs are the piece people over-buy, and the one most likely to be borrowed.

Will all of this fit in a normal car?

Yes, and it is designed around that. Everything here folds, rolls or deflates, and the heaviest single piece is 12 kg. The thing that actually runs out is not weight but boot space, which is why several pieces do two jobs: a cooler that becomes a table with seats, or a table with the stools built onto it, takes one slot instead of two. If the car is tight, buy those first.

Can I leave camping furniture set up outside?

For a weekend, yes. As a permanent arrangement, only the pieces built for it. Aluminium frames and stainless legs handle rain and salt, and the iron sun lounger is made to live outdoors. What suffers is fabric and board: the cloth cabinets and the MDF tops take water and do not give it back. The single thing that shortens any of their lives is packing them away wet, so give a piece ten minutes in the sun before it goes in the bag.

What is the difference between this page and the others?

This page is the whole range in one place. Chairs, Tables and Chill & Rest are the three lines inside it, and each of those has the side by side tables with weights, packed sizes and load ratings. Start here if you are furnishing a camp from scratch. Go to a line page if you already know which of the three you are buying.

What is the warranty?

One year on Often Outdoors branded products, and six months with proof of purchase on the other brands here. All of it sits on top of the Australian Consumer Law guarantees, which cannot be excluded and which entitle you to a repair, replacement or refund depending on how serious the fault is. The full terms are in our warranty policy.

A camp is a room you build every time

It goes up out of the boot and it comes down into it again, and in between it is somewhere you would happily spend a week. Nobody remembers the drive. They remember the evening that kept going because everyone had somewhere to sit.

If you are starting from nothing

One of each job, and a light so the evening does not end with the sun. This is the shortest list that turns a patch of ground into a camp.
