Camp Tables
A camp table keeps cooking, eating and gear up off the ground and makes camp life far more civilised. Our range covers roll-up and fold-flat tables, compact hiking tables and kitchen stands from Zempire, Helinox, Kiwi Camping and Coleman, sized for everything from a solo trip to a family setup.
Match the table to the job: a low, light table for a compact camp, a full-height table for dining, or a kitchen stand to cook on. Pair it with your chairs for a comfortable setup, and check the packed size for the boot.

Frequently asked questions about camp tables
What height should a camping table be?
Standard dining and cooking tables sit around 70cm high to pair with normal camp chairs, while low tables around 40cm suit lounging with low chairs. Many camp tables adjust between heights, which is the most flexible option for mixed use.
Roll-up, fold-in-half or slat table, what is the difference?
Roll-up tables pack into a long thin bundle and are light and quick. Fold-in-half tables are rigid and sturdy, folding to a briefcase shape. Slat tables sit between the two. Rigid tables are steadier for cooking; roll-ups win on pack size and weight.
How stable are camping tables on uneven ground?
Stability depends on the legs, individually adjustable legs let you level the table on rough ground, while fixed legs need a flat spot. For cooking on a stove, prioritise a rigid table with good legs so nothing tips.
What size camp table do I need?
Match it to your group and what goes on top, a small table for a couple's meals, a larger one for a family or to hold a stove and prep space. Remember to leave room to sit around it, and check it fits your vehicle packed down.
Can camping tables handle a hot pot or stove?
Some tables have a heat-resistant section or a dedicated stove stand, but many tabletops can be marked or damaged by direct heat. Use a trivet or a purpose-built kitchen stand for stoves and hot pans, and check the table's specs before cooking on it.
How is a camp kitchen stand different from a plain table?
A kitchen stand is built around cooking, with a stable surface for a stove, plus features like windshields, storage, hooks and a lower shelf. A plain table is more general-purpose. If you cook big meals at camp, a dedicated stand makes the kitchen far easier to run.
