Folding Camping Table


If you do a lot of car camping, you might want to invest in a folding camping table.

Many established campgrounds will have fixed picnic tables with benches at each site.

But you might end up in the overflow section of the campground, or at a non-established campground without picnic tables, and you will be eating off your knees!

Even if you do have a picnic table,  you might like to have an additional cooking or eating surface.

Folding Camping Table

Advantages of a folding camping table:

  • It can fold flat
  • It is light for carrying
  • It is quick to set up 
  • It will have a cord for hanging paper towels
  • Good ones have a sturdy, solid, powder coated steel tube construction
  • Look for a well-balanced heavy-duty handle

Here are some good, solid camping tables that I like the look of, from my experience!
