Product Information

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. 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! 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 Setting the Outwell Kamloops up is easy – simply unfold the table top so that it is upside down, with the underside facing upwards. 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.

In some ways a solid table top is the best option for keeping clean and tidy because you don’t get the little gaps and grooves into which crumbs can fall. It also feels more solidly built, being a single chunk of wood. Hot Legs All in all, we love the Trekology- it does everything expected of it exceedingly well! And that blue colour is to die for – yum! Bamboo wood is fairly unique in that it has the look of tree wood but is actually made from a grass. As such it does not warp or shrink when the humidity of the surroundings change. Our first ‘luxury’ choice is the Navaris Bamboo which is a gorgeous camping table using premium, sustainable bamboo wood as the folding top section. 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.

Adjustable legs are extremely useful – preferably all four should be independently extendable to help level the table on undulating ground. Trekology have released a fantastic folding table which uses aviation-grade aluminium as the tabletop material. The colour of the metal top needs to be seen to be believed – a gorgeous electric blue sheen which attracts a lot of attention. Bamboo wood is fairly unique in that it has the look of tree wood but is made from grass. As such it does not warp or shrink when the humidity of the surroundings changes. A clever touch is the central triangular section of the table which can be used either flush with the main surface or raised by around 10cm to act as a platform to put food on in a more easy-to-share location.

What do you think about fishing or angling? You either get it or you don’t I guess. I’m in the latter camp, and can’t really see the point of sitting at the side of a lake, in beautiful countryside, sipping at your chilled beer, occasionally pulling the line and…. hold on a minute! I can see exactly why anglers angle – it’s a way of relaxing in the arms of Mother Nature, and for that reason, Anglers and Campers are of a similar mindset….

Preview

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. This Bamboo Folding Table is a wooden-topped offering in our roundup and an absolute peach of a design from a classic outdoor company called Snow Peak who are based in the Fukushima region of Japan.

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. 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. 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 The bamboo sections fit together really well with very minimal grooves in between them. This is a massive difference to some of the aluminium options we recommend below which tend to have bigger gaps. With the Navaris it is very easy to brush out crumbs and other wayward bits of stray food!Our first ‘luxury’ choice is the Outwell Kamloops which is a gorgeous camping table which uses premium, sustainable bamboo wood as the folding top section. This is a big table and can seat four with ease, and potentially up to six people. Our first bamboo choice is the Dometic Bamboo Large Table which is a gorgeous camping table using premium bamboo wood as a fixed (non-folding) top section. 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!
