Pull up a chair
There are two schools of thought when it comes to purchasing a chair you can drop your derrière on at the campsite. You either buy a cheapie and replace it every year or so… or you get a decent one that potentially lasts a lifetime.
We’re with the latter crowd, and though some of these are at the more affordable end, you can’t second-guess their quality.

OZTRAIL REGAL ARMCHAIR
If you want a chair that can do it all then look no further than this one. It’s made from high-tensile steel that can carry a lot of weight, with a magazine pocket in the seatback, the largest drinks holder we’ve ever seen (big enough for two cans) on the right-hand side, an insulated pocket on the left, a mesh pocket on the left side of the seat bottom and storage pockets on the right.
Price R750 from Takealot.
Rated for 200 kg
Drive & Camp says Did we mention the integrated bottle opener as well? When fully stocked you rarely have to get out of this chair.
