The table top is bamboo and of very nice quality. It is comprised of two folding sections which open up and are secured into a 40 x 40cm square shape using two support poles. The table top then connects securely onto the top of the spike and hey presto, you’ve got your own personal drinks table! Where the Zempire excels over other drinks tables is that there are four indents carved into the bamboo top. These support up to 4 wine glasses very nicely indeed. There is also a handy bottle opener on the underside of the table. It’s a fairly small side table, measuring 45-65cm tall and 60 x 80cm on top. What makes it so good is the fact that the legs can fold into the wooden top and then the whole table can effectively be ‘rolled’ into a very small carry bag measuring 12 x 17 x 81cm. It also looks very nice indeed! The aluminum countertop withstood a camp stove easily, although we would have liked the side tables to be made of the same material at times. (Juggling several hot pans and pots when cooking for 6+ people would have been easier with a place to put the pans that wasn’t plastic.) However, when taking on an ambitious meal like steak and risotto or biscuits and gravy for 6 folks, the four plastic side tables were nothing short of miraculously helpful.

Folded dimensions are perfectly manageable at around 1m x 0.6m x 0.2m, and putting the table up is child’s play. The shape of this table makes it ideal for bell tents or tepee tents. Our first ‘luxury’ choice is the Navaris Bamboo which is a gorgeous camping table using premium, sustainable bamboo wood as the folding top section.Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual.

This table is absolutely perfect for setting up inside your awning or close to your cooking area, because within that briefcase-like exterior, there exists a couple of sizeable fabric cupboards having individual zippable front-loading bays. These cupboards are capacious, and perfect for storing food, drink or even bedding if so required. The table top surface While we didn’t quite know how to categorize this table, it was easily one of our favorites, if only for the novelty of it. Continuing the bamboo theme, but this time with a circular shape, the Zempire Kitpac Round Table is an excellent choice for camping trips. We should emphasize the beauty of the Japanese bamboo used for the tabletop. It is sublime and exceptionally smooth but with a lovely grain. You can mentally picture the bamboo shoots swaying in the Japanese breeze!

When opened up, the tabletop surface is very smooth which enables wine glasses to be placed on top without any fear of spillage. In fact, this is the smoothest table top we’ve reviewed and it would be possible to pen a letter on it (do people still do that?). This is a great table for socialising for it can seat up to 8 people due to the hexagonal shape, with an independent height adjustment of each of the three legs. With a wide choice of outdoor furniture, you can find the ideal folding table whether you are lightweight camping, holidaying with the family, or going away in the caravan or motorhome - or having an alfresco gathering with friends and family in the garden The addition of a durable drawcord bag allows you to easily store and carry the table.

Forcamping and caravanning,a roll-top slatted table is an ideal blend of portability and stability - the aluminium slats are corded together so that they roll up for storage. When erecting the table the slats sit into the frame and are usually supported by a securing rod holding them firmly in place, giving a perfectly stable, flat surface for eating and drinking without spills. Available in a range of sizes. Arguably one of the most important points when shopping for a camping table is your budget. You might be very budget conscious and cautious about spending money on a camping “accessory,” or you might be willing to spend a little extra if it means you won’t be replacing your table in the next 10 years of use. Whatever your budget, we made sure to find durable options for every price range. Do you want a dining table or a cooking station — or a multi-functional table? Cupholders sunk into the table top can help stop your drinks slipping, but these are not usually too useful for wine glasses with a stem. Instead, we generally prefer to make sure the table is simply solid and stable and easy to level – then you don’t need cupholders. Decathlon is a massive multi-national outdoor equipment company, and its engineers often have some pretty original ideas for new takes on the old classics. The Quechua Hexagonal Camping Table is one such novel design.

It’s worth remembering that there are many styles of folding camping tables, and one product cannot cover all use cases. There’s a fundamental difference between a tiny occasional table which you might place between a couple of chairs to rest your pint on, and a large table to eat at or do your cooking on. Below are a couple of different types of table which we're particularly loving at the minute: Folding Camping Tables There are two pairs of legs which open outwards away from each other in a U shape, and the height of these legs can be switched between two settings. One thing we did notice is that there is a spring-loaded pin which requires pushing in to change the height of the legs, and this can easily catch the skin on your thumb as you press it. Probably the only negative about this table, and only a minor problem at that. Summing up But it’s the bamboo which is the star of the show here. It provides a highly stable surface with a real quality feel. Please bear in mind though that this is more of a side table and is probably not large enough to eat around unless there’s just a couple of you.

Camping Chairs

Let’s start with the legs – these are the best legs in the business! OK, I’m not talking about Miss World here, but you can see why the Victorians used to have to cover their table legs to avoid the menfolk getting too amorous! The legs on the Nestling are independently adjustable for height which means you can level the table on any surface. Extremely useful indeed! We should definitely emphasize the beauty of the Japanese bamboo used for the table top. It is sublime and exceptionally smooth but with a lovely grain. You can mentally picture the bamboo shoots swaying in the Japanese breeze! The Atepa Folding Bamboo Table is a wooden-topped offering in our roundup and an absolute peach of a design.

OK, we hold our hands up – this Nestling folding camping table is a budget offering and probably not the highest quality piece of furniture you’ll ever buy – however, it covers all the basic features that we consider essential in a camping table. However, it’s the sprayer that we really loved — not only was it helpful for washing dirt off of fruits and veggies that spilled from a bag, it was great for rinsing out dishes, hosing down dirty feet, and spraying off tough burned pieces from a dinner left too long on the stove. It uses a folding bamboo table top which is 90cm in diameter when set up. Underneath are four legs which are height-adjustable to three different settings – 40cm, 58cm and 70cm. This is excellent flexibility. There is also individual height adjustment possible using the endcap screw for uneven ground.A sturdy table is an essential component of camping life, but unfortunately they don’t receive the focus they should compared to other camping ‘must-haves’ such as tents or awnings. Camping is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend some quality time in nature. The right gear can make or break your camping experience. An often overlooked but critical piece of kit is of course the Camping Table! Benefits of a Camping Table Where the Zempire really shines though is the folded size.
