CAMPING FURNITURE

Which camping furniture suits your pitch and routine?

Start by thinking about how you spend most of your time at camp: shared meals, rainy-day games, reading in the sun, or getting kids in and out of the tent quickly. If cooking is central to your holiday, prioritise a stable table and a dedicated storage unit so your essentials stay off the ground and easy to find. If downtime matters most, look first at supportive seating and consider a lounger for proper afternoon breaks. For family organisation, add fold-flat storage for shoes and bits that otherwise migrate around the living area.

We also recommend measuring your vehicle boot space before you choose. Pack size, carry weight, and how fast items fold open can matter as much as comfort—especially when you arrive late or the weather turns. Aim for a small core set you’ll use every day, then add extras only if they will genuinely earn their keep.

Camping furniture that starts with the right chair: what should you look for?

A chair is the piece you use most, so focus on fit and adjustability. If you like to sit upright for meals and recline afterwards, a multi-position chair such as Outwell Grand Canyon XL or Outwell Teton gives you flexibility, and quick-drying padding helps when mornings are damp. For a more “settle in” feeling, Outwell Acadia adds a side table with a cup holder—useful for a torch, book, or evening drink. If you want the chair to double as a lounger, a clip-on footrest like Outwell Clifton can be a simple upgrade.

Short on storage? Compact designs such as Outwell Blackpool or Outwell Sauntons pack down neatly without feeling flimsy. For sociable seating, the Outwell Catamarca range even includes a two-seater sofa that creates a relaxed lounge under an awning. Explore our comfortable camping chairs for relaxing at camp to match your space, posture, and packing plan.

What makes a camping table feel steady and practical?

A good table earns its place at every meal, then stays useful for snacks, cards, and sorting the next day’s plans. Height adjustment is one of the biggest day-to-day advantages: tables like Outwell Coledale use telescopic legs so you can fine-tune comfort, and oversized feet help on uneven pitches. If your table will see hot pans, strong sun, and constant wipe-downs, look for a tough outdoor-ready top such as the Tetrameld surface used on Outwell Canmore L.

If you prefer a warmer, home-like feel, bamboo tops like Outwell Custer bring a natural look while still packing down neatly. Touring more often? A roll-top option such as Outwell Canmore M reduces pack size, while a low table like Outwell Heyfield can work as a breakfast tray outside the tent door. Compare sizes and styles in our camping tables range to suit your headcount and how you like to dine.

Do you want to sleep off the ground or add a lounger?

If you wake up stiff or you simply want an easier start to the day, sleeping raised can change how you feel on holiday. Folding camp beds give you airflow underneath and a more supportive base, and they can also double as daytime loungers under a canopy. Outwell Posadas XL and Outwell Laguna Hills include corner straps designed to keep a mat in place, which helps stop bedding sliding around when you turn in the night. It’s a small detail, but it makes set-up feel more “together”.

For dedicated relaxation, a sun lounger is worth considering—Outwell Samoa offers multiple recline positions and quick-drying padding, while Outwell Tenby keeps things simple with a carry handle and a practical three-position backrest. If raised comfort sounds right for you, take a look at our camping beds and build a sleep system that suits the way you rest.

How do you keep your tent living area tidy with storage and kitchen units?

A tidy pitch is not about being strict—it’s about making family life easier. When cookware, food, and washing-up kit have a home, you spend less time searching and more time relaxing. A dedicated kitchen unit like Outwell Magante gives you a stable worktop for prep and ventilated cupboard storage, while Outwell Aruba adds closed shelving and clever organisers such as utensil hooks and a magnetic knife holder. Adjustable feet are worth prioritising too, because a wobbly surface makes cooking and washing up feel harder than it needs to.

For everyday order, fold-flat organisers help you control clutter. Outwell Hornsea makes it easier to separate cooking items, and Outwell Crantock keeps footwear off the ground and out of walkways. Small practical extras, like the Outwell Drying Rack, often become the most-used item after beach days or wet weather.
