Top 7 Camping Table Ideas for Your Next Camping Trip

1. Coleman Outdoor Folding Table

The Coleman Outdoor Folding Table is an extremely compact aluminum folding table that is perfect for outdoor cookouts and camping. For a little over $30, this table also comes with a lightweight carrying bag for that added convenience.

It has an aluminum slat top with a strong steel frame that offers just the right amount of support and surface area for as many as 4 people. Its snap-together design also allows users to easily assemble and disassemble the table after use.

Despite its lightweight design, the table is very much durable. One user even reported placing 25-pound plates on the four corners of the table and observed no bows to the table’s legs at any time. He also tried pushing the table from side to side, but it remained upright and intact.

2. Trekology Portable Camping Side Tables

Next on our list, the Trekology Portable Camping Side Tables, a set of all-purpose, knee-height, camping tables that combine practicality with mobility. It’s perfect not just for campers, but also for backpackers, beachgoers, and even for those who are just out for a picnic.

The tabletop is made from top-quality, aerospace-grade aluminum alloy that makes it weather-resistant and easy to clean. It is also sturdy and stable enough to handle heavy tasks including cooking and cutting.

Setting it up is also easy with its foldable aluminum base frame and unique hinge designs that allow you to easily connect the table top to the frame. The table also comes in three sizes so make sure to check them out before making your purchase.

The table comes at a price of $45.99. Its durability and lightweight design, however, make that price tag worth it.

3. SOVIGOUR Aluminum Folding Camping Table

Like the previous two camping tables on the list, the SOVIGOUR Aluminum Folding Camping Table is also made of the same material. It is also great for both indoor and outdoor activities like hiking, camping, fishing, or even just backdoor barbecuing.

This rectangle-shaped table also comes in three sizes. Additionally, its legs are equipped with a rubber outrigger that helps stabilize it in different environments.

Its lightweight and compact design make it ideal to carry around, regardless of what outdoor activity you might be planning on going. While the table is not sturdy enough to carry the weight of a person, it is more than sufficient for small items like snacks, drinks, and other food.

The table comes at a very affordable price of only $17.93.

4. iClimb Ultralight Compact Camping Folding Table

The iClimb Ultralight Compact Camping Folding Table is one of the most affordable camping tables on this list. With a price of only $20.99 and a ton of convenient qualities, this camping table definitely gives you bang for your buck.

The table is ultralight and is also made of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. It weighs only 2.2 lbs. but still packs a lot of power as it is durable, waterproof, and resistant to corrosion and rust. The table is heat-resistant, making it safe for use when cooking with a stove placed on it.

iClimb’s camping table also has an easy-to-setup design, with its unique hinged connection tabletop and anti-slipping rubber legs. It also comes with a lightweight carrying bag so you can easily take it with you when going fishing, camping, or maybe even just having some coffee in your garden at home.

5. GCI Outdoor Compact Camp Table 20

The GCI Outdoor Compact Camp Table 20 is perhaps the most compact camping table on this list. It has a remarkable one-piece compact design that allows it to fold down to about half the size of other camping tables.

Its patent-pending “telescoping technology” allows users to simply pull the legs down when using them and push them up when storing. The table then easily props up or folds on itself with a built-in handle so you can easily carry it around.

It is, however, slightly heavier than the first four camping tables on the list with a weight of 4 lbs. It more than makes up for this, however, with its capacity of up to 60 lbs.

The GCI Outdoor Compact Camp Table 20 has a price tag of $39.99.

6. CampLand Outdoor Folding Table

The CampLand Outdoor Folding Table comes at a slightly heftier price tag of $64.99, but its features justify the amount you pay for it.

This camping table is bigger than most of the previous camping tables on the list. When setup, the table has a length of 47.24 inches and a width of 18.5 inches. It is also able to support as much as 66 lbs. or 30 kg.

The camping table is also equipped with zippered cartons that offer large storage spaces. You can use these  for a variety of reasons, including protecting your food from animals and bugs and storing your kitchen utensils before and after using them.

7. Sportneer Portable Camping Tables

The Sportneer Portable Camping Tables is yet another great piece of camping gear innovation. For a price of only $32.99, this aluminum alloy table is also equipped with a mesh storage compartment so you can store your things without them occupying space on the surface or getting dirty on the ground.

Like most of the items on the list, it is also lightweight and easy to assemble. It also has a reinforced aluminum frame with legs that are equipped with anti-slip caps.

The Sportneer Portable Camping Tables do provide value for money. The standard size is about 2 feet in length and 16 inches in width. If this is too big for you, the product also comes in 2 other sizes.
