We all know what a bummer it can be to sit in an uncomfortable, cheaply-made camping chair. So we set out to try out 17 different chairs to figure out which ones are the best bang for your buck. The box-shaped cupholder is a little roomier than the round cupholders on the Coleman and the L.L.Bean Base Camp chairs—better for stubby water bottles or mugs of hot chocolate around the campfire. It’s the lightest, most portable chair that is still comfortable.
With its spacious seat width, this chair also offers more room than any other model we tested. And its backrest extends higher up than those of other chairs; this is nice for taller folks or people who like a good slouch with ozark trail chair some head support.

Stumps, stools, boulders, and picnic tables are fine for sitting briefly outdoors. But if you want to kick back and stay comfy, the right camping chair can make all the difference. We ranked Value for Money as a 5 as this really is exceptional value considering the the build and comfort of the chair.
People who did like it tended to have smaller body types, so if you find that other camping chairs are too big for you, the Skyward might be a good fit. This chair’s sturdy frame and higher seat height made that precarious dance just a little bit easier. It’s heavier than its competitors and not as easy to fold, but it has a carrying strap attached to the frame (something its competitors didn’t have). This chair’s weight capacity is 250 pounds—less than that of the ALPS Mountaineering Rendezvous low chair.
There is no additional storage or a second cup holder but for the low price point, I wouldn’t have expected that nor is it needed. Setting up the Ozark Trail Camping Chair, like most traditional models of camp chair, is a simple pull out and extend which takes seconds. The frame felt robust and the legs sat securely on the ground to give stability, despite the small tree roots on our camp site.
The Sugar Creek Astronomical Society will provide powerful telescopes for all guests to use. The program is recommended for ages 8 and up. Northwest Arkansas Audubon Society will host a field trip at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Charlie Craig State Fish Hatchery in Centerton, operated by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. A variety of shorebirds, waterfowl and songbirds are seen around the hatchery ponds and surrounding pasture.
The Ozark Trail Association was founded in 2002, and has added more than 50 miles of trail to date, most constructed by volunteers. The association continues to maintain and expand the Ozark Trail. April 29th, 2006 was proclaimed “Ozark Trail Day” by Missouri’s governor, and in May 2008 a portion of the trail was designated a National Recreational Trail. In 2013 Missouri was named Best Trails State at the International Trails Symposium, due in part to the increasing popularity of the Ozark Trail. Our Mega events provide free camping, free lunch & dinner, live music, a giant bonfire, and fun raffles for kids and adults. It was a cooperative effort of seven governmental agencies, one private landowner, and several environmental groups banded together in what later became the Ozark Trail Council.
