Our 2026 Camp Chair Guide: How to Get the Most Out of Your Favourite Chair
At Kuma, we believe that being in the great outdoors doesn’t mean you have to “rough it” all the time. You can participate in everything that nature has to offer and still be comfortable—and the right camping chair goes a long way toward enjoying your experience outside.
Knowing this, we offer all kinds of camping chairs for all kinds of settings and activities in the great outdoors. Here are some of our favourite Kuma chairs right now and how you can get the most out of them on your next outdoor adventure.
Creekside Chair
One of our newest chairs at Kuma, the Creekside Chair is a compact, low-boy style chair that folds flat and fully collapses for convenient storage. The Creekside Chair’s carry bag comes with backpack straps, making it the perfect chair for on-the-go activities like music festivals, beach trips, or city park picnics. Built with durable 600D polyester and an aluminum frame, the Creekside Chair provides a strong, sturdy, yet comfortable seat for such a compact chair. Watch how quick and easy it packs up HERE.

Switchback Heated Chair
Our Switchback Heated Chair is an outdoor staple when it comes to colder temperatures and winter weather. Sitting upright with ample back support, the Switchback Heated Chair provides direct heat on both the seat and back of the chair. That extra heat can be a nice touch when you have lower back issues, too! The Switchback Heated Chair even comes with a wine glass holder when you want to glamp in style (because why not?!).
Powered by a 10,000 mAh rechargeable lithium power bank, the Switchback Heated Chair works well for watching your kids’ soccer games and other sports activities. It’s also convenient for van life or small RVs when storage space is limited.
Ideal for:
- Watching your kids’ sports activities
- Backyard fire pits
- Cold weather camping
- Fishing or ice fishing
- Camping with a bad back
- Overlanding or RVing
Kozy Bear Chair
When you need two seats in the great outdoors, it doesn’t get much better than the Kozy Bear Chair. As a double camping chair, the Kozy Bear Chair’s curved design gives you more shoulder room compared to similar styles on the market. Its setup also comes with multiple pockets for storing books, phones, and other essentials, making it a handy chair for group or family camping trips.
But what especially sets the Kozy Bear Chair apart is its built-in cooler (yes, you read that right!), perfect for tailgating before the football or baseball game. Large enough to store a six-pack, the Kozy Bear’s cooler comes with a drainage valve so you don’t have to tip the chair over to dump out melted ice.
Ideal for:
- Family or group camping
- Outdoor date nights
- Tailgating
- Beach trips
- Watching your kids’ sports activities
Yoho Bamboo Butterfly Chair
Elegant and eco-friendly, the Yoho Bamboo Butterfly Chair has quietly remained one of our most popular chairs for years. Crafted with naturally flexible, strong, and long-lasting bamboo, the Yoho Bamboo Butterfly Chair elevates any cabin, deck, patio, or campsite. Lightweight and easily packable, this cushy chair also works as a go-to patio option for small condos and apartments. Pair it with the Yoho Bamboo Footstool for extra comfort!
Ideal for:
- Glamping and camping
- Outdoor deck and patio furniture
- Extra chairs at the condo, apartment, or cabin
Backtrack Chair
Recently updated, the Backtrack Chair is a campsite classic. With a durable, lightweight aluminum frame, the Backtrack Chair folds flat for convenient storage and transports easily. Its seat webbing is also made from sturdy seatbelt material, so you don’t have to worry about fading or fraying like the classic lawn chairs of the past. You can even restretch the fabric when the time comes (check out our “How-To” video HERE), extending the chair’s life. Whether you’re spending a day at the beach, car show, or campground, the Backtrack Chair is the portable outdoor chair you can count on.
Ideal for:
- Tailgating
- Camping
- Festivals or concerts
- City parks
- Beach trips (the Backtrack Chair comes in a low version, too)
