Camping Folding Chairs for Tall People

Here you have our selection of camping folding chairs for tall people, with very high seats and armrests. Each has something particular that sets it apart from its competitors.

It is far easier to find low camping chairs than camping chairs with high seats. In fact, high-seat camping chairs are quite rare. They are useful for very tall users and also for older people. Below you will see a few great options, we did our best to add examples with unique features, so they are all very different.

As the title suggests, the chairs are folding, which means there is no assembly; they are all straightforward to use. But there are differences in the folding size, as indicated in their descriptions below.

Kijaro says this is a Dual Lock chair, which means push-buttons on the sides lock it both when unfolded and folded. This makes it easier to carry and store in its included carry bag. The seat is made from breathable mesh, making it an excellent option for warm-weather camping.

It also has cup holders and a storage pouch integrated into its soft armrests. It is available on some sites under the names Kijaro and Red Rock Canyon Dual Lock XXL Portable Heavy Duty Camping Chair. But whichever brand you see, this is the same chair.
