The padded cushion and back made it super comfortable while I spent a workday in it, and it made it hard to resist a nap after lunch. While the other chairs were plenty comfortable for shorter amounts of time, they didn’t provide as much comfort as the Big Outdoorsman. This chair does run on the heavier side, at 17.5 pounds, which is 5 pounds heavier than the Freestyle Rocker.
And the detachable soft cooler adds a nice touch, which allows you to keep rocking without making an extra trip to the cooler when your drink runs out.

While manufacturers list different weight limits, some of them might not be as accurate as their descriptions, especially if you’re opting for a cheaper chair. Depending on what you’re expecting from your camping rocker, chair height makes a difference. If you want something that’s easy to get in and out of, a camping rocking chair with a high back and seat will make this a breeze. But if you’re just looking for a comfortable rocker to go on the porch of your cabin, weight probably isn’t a consideration.
I sat comfortably in this chair for hours (way longer than you probably would on a camping trip) and would have no problem hauling it to the campsite or other outdoor get-togethers. If you’re in the market for an oversized camping rocking chair, you’re probably not too worried about its packability. And even though it folds down into a carry bag, I wouldn’t recommend logging a ton of miles with this one in tow. But if you’re car camping, this oversized rocker makes the perfect addition to your setup.
And while you can buy multiple of the other options for the total price of this chair, none of them come close to packing down like the Chair One. So while the initial price might seem steep, its versatility and Helinox’s 5-year warranty make it an appealing option. For an unmatched sitting experience, choose the Ozark Trail reclining hammock camp chair. This suspended chair combines the best aspects of a recliner and a hammock rolled into the portability and easy setup of a camp chair. This chair features an easy-fold locking frame that allows for quick setup and takes down so you can spend more time relaxing. With the spacious, extra-tough nylon swinging seat, you will be able to curl up and rock your way to relaxation whether you are at the campsite, the tailgate, or just in your own backyard.
If so, rock and sway your way to relaxation with the Ozark Trail Structured Hammock Chair. If the forecast calls for sunny days, or your campsite could use a few more trees, you’ll want the Sunshade Rocker to make your trip that much more enjoyable. This rocker was one of the more comfortable chairs in my test and one of the easiest to pack, even with the ozark trail lounge chair collapsible sunshade. It also comes with a carry bag, and folding the chair up takes minimal time or effort. And the Sunshade Rocker isn’t so heavy that I wouldn’t take it to camp even if I had a long walk. Because this chair packs easily, it’s a great, versatile option that you can use at camp, your kids’ little league games, or backyard barbecues.
We do our best to describe the items and their condition, however, all sales are final.
It also has a weight capacity of 320 pounds, which is better than all the chairs in this review except the Ozark Trail. But unlike other chairs I tested, the Chair One comes with a five-year warranty, which you’ll want because this chair is also the most expensive on this list. Especially when you throw in the rocking feet, which you have to purchase separately. If you want a solid camping chair, the GCI Freestyle Rocker, which has an aluminum frame, makes an excellent option. The spring-loaded shocks allow for smooth rocking when you want, but it also sits stationary for those times when you’re eating one of the best camping meals around the fire.
