A camping stool is a small and light implement used in outdoor activities such as hiking or camping, as the term suggests. Its main purpose is to provide support and rest for an outdoor adventurer who has had to accomplish a long trek before setting camp. Stools for camping need to take as little space as possible in the individual’s backpack or vehicle; otherwise, they would defeat their purpose of helping provide rest by, instead, turning into additional load.

Thus, a camp stool by necessity should sport a bare design. The most common stools of this kind come with three legs and a seat surface made from a strong material. Although there are stool surfaces and legs crafted from wood, campers also widely choose ones that are made of canvas, denim, polyester, or heavy cotton. For the legs, PVC and aluminum are common. If wood is preferred, then usually they would be oak or pine. The trouble with a wooden camping stool is that it needs to be treated with waterproofing to ensure a long serviceability.

People who have never been to camping trips may wonder why campers need to bring along chairs or stools during their nature trip. After all, is it not the idea to experience fully the natural environment? If an implement for sitting should be required while on camp, certainly the campers can fashion out such things from whatever materials they can find in their immediate surroundings. While such might be the case occasionally, campers realize that a lightweight camp stool does a better job every time, providing a strong, dry, and clean surface for sitting to eat, rest, or converse around the campsite. The surface can even be used for other purposes depending on its width and stability.

To this end, there are camping stools that are even more convenient to pack and carry on an outdoor trip. These are folding camping stools. Collapsible stools need to be as stable as possible. Thus, when buying or constructing your own, pay special attention to the placement of the leg stabilizers. One minor disadvantage of this type of stool is that often it does not fold completely flat. However, compared to the ease of transport and storage that it brings, that element can be easily overlooked.

A camping stool, though intended primarily for camping, is actually a versatile tool for any type of outdoor activity. You can use one in a boat, in concerts and parties, or even when simply having a backyard barbecue. In order for it to be truly useful, it must be of the right height and width. This is of course determined by the preferences of the owner; and it should be strong and stable enough to support the owner’s weight along with any additional load.
