Every kilo in the boot has to earn its place. No excess, no fuss.
The Full Recliner
Brought a footstool too. Comfort is a lifestyle, not a compromise.

Buying Guide
How to Choose the Right Camping or Caravan Chair
Every chair on this page will fold flat and fit in a boot — the real differences are in frame, fabric and how you plan to sit in it. Here's what actually matters when you're comparing camping chairs and caravan chairs.
Frame & Weight Capacity
Steel frames with an anti-rust or powder-coated finish last longest outdoors. Most chairs in this range are rated to 120kg — check the spec if you want extra headroom, especially for a director's or folding chair used daily on a long pitch.
Fabric & Weatherproofing
600D Oxford polyester and Q-Tex weave fabrics are both durable and water-repellent, which matters more in the UK than almost anywhere else. Padded, wrap-around designs like the Quest Elite Cleveland also cut wind chill on exposed pitches.
Portability & Storage
Every chair here folds down into its own carry bag, but size and weight vary — a classic folding chair packs smaller than an oversized tub chair. If boot space or a caravan locker is tight, weigh that up against how much comfort you want.
Extra Features
Side tables, integrated cup holders and storage pouches turn a chair into a small basecamp — handy for card games, BBQs, or anyone who doesn't want to keep getting up. Worth prioritising if you spend long sessions in one spot.
FAQs
Camping Chair Questions, Answered
What is the best camping chair for caravan and motorhome trips?
It depends how you use it. For pure comfort and lounging, a padded bucket-style chair like the Liberty Comfort Chair is ideal. For an all-rounder with a side table and armrests, the Liberty Director Chair works well. For maximum space, the oversized Quest Elite Cleveland tub chair gives the most room.
What's the difference between a director's chair and a folding camping chair?
A director's chair typically has a higher seat, armrests, and often a side table with a cup holder — good for sitting upright at a table or BBQ. A folding camping chair usually has a lower profile with a high backrest and wide feet for stability, designed more for relaxing.
Are Touring Outlet camping chairs suitable for heavier weights?
Most chairs in the range, including the Liberty Director Chair, Liberty Folding Chair, and Quest Elite Cleveland, have a weight capacity of 120kg, with the frame and fabric tested accordingly.
How quickly will my camping chair be dispatched?
Touring Outlet operates 24 hour dispatch on in-stock chairs, with tracked 2-3 day delivery as standard across the UK.
How do I clean a camping or caravan chair?
Most chairs in this range use water-repellent 600D Oxford polyester or Q-Tex weave fabric, so a wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap is normally enough. Let the chair air dry fully before folding it away to avoid mildew.
Are padded tub chairs comfortable for long periods, or just director's chairs for short sits?
It's the other way round if anything. Padded bucket-style chairs like the Liberty Comfort Chair and Quest Elite Cleveland are built for sitting for hours — evenings by the fire, long lunches. Director's and folding chairs are more upright and practical, better suited to shorter, task-focused sitting like cooking, card games or eating.
