Best Heavy Duty Folding Camping Directors Chair Reviews

Having a heavy duty camping directors chair is a great investment for camping, tailgating or sitting out in the backyard.  You can get them in different weight capacities if you need one for over 250 pounds, 300 or 500 pounds.  The directors chair style also comes in an option of regular height or tall height.

best directors camping chairs for big and heavy people

What to look for in a heavy duty director’s camping chair:

  • What weight capacity do you require?
  • Make sure that it is lightweight and easy to carry
  • You want it to be easy to fold and unfold – sound silly but I bought a chair that is a nightmare to fold up!!
  • Do you want a cup holder?
  • Do you want a side table to put your food or drinks on?
  • What height of the chair do you want? – some people find taller chairs easier to get in and out of
  • What is the frame made out of? – Steel frame is far more durable for a heavier person than an aluminum frame

Nice added features are the extra padding on the seat, a folding side table with cup holder.

The only down side to this chair is that it is heavier to carry than other chairs on the market.  The heaviness is due to the steel frame and the larger seat.
