My dog has destroyed three camp chairs by jumping on them. After way too much trial and error, I finally found setups that hold up to muddy paws and excited 70lb labs.

Heavy Duty Chairs 💪

These are the tanks of camping chairs. My golden retriever has launched himself onto all of these and they're still standing. Not a single ripped seam.

Portable & Packable

Sometimes you're hiking in to a campsite and every ounce matters. These fold down small but don't sacrifice durability when your pet inevitably climbs aboard.

Pet Gear for Camp

Your dog needs a spot too. I learned the hard way that if you don't give them their own setup, they'll take yours.
