Rank #1 in Best Camping Chairs 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Seats or One?
Amazon Basics Folding Camping Chair with 4-Can Cooler
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This is the Amazon Basics heavy-duty folding camping chair (model AMZ-400-NAM), the blue mesh version with the four-can cooler pouch, cup holder and side pocket, and it takes first place in this guide. At £21.96 it costs more than the two-seat SONGMICS set at £18.69 and less than either Voyager set at £34.99 and £49.99 — and the listing settles what that money buys: the unit count is 1.0 count and the number of items is 1, so £21.96 is the price of a single chair, not a pair.
What the listing does not offer is a ranking to match ours. Amazon places this chair at 43 in Camping Chairs and 6,790 in Sports & Outdoors, while the two Voyager '2-Pack' listings both carry 1 in Camping Chairs. Its rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 9,514 reviews, and 76 of the 100 ratings shown in the breakdown are five-star. Every figure on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands; we have not tested the chair ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I'm 200lb this chair was used recently at an all day and evening music festival and was extremely comfortable throughout. Materials and build quality very good would recommend”
Verified purchase“Excellent product, very strong, sturdy and has an higher seat than most similar chairs making it easier to get out of. I like the cool pocket, it kept my phone handy and cool which was good during the recent hot weather. It is quite comfortable and very stable. It is not as light as some others but quite easy to carry.”
