Our first ‘luxury’ choice is the Outwell Kamloops which is a gorgeous camping table which uses premium, sustainable bamboo wood as the folding top section. Setting the Navaris Bamboo up is easy – simply unfold the table top so that it is upside down, with the underside facing upwards. I can see exactly why anglers angle – it’s a way of relaxing in the arms of Mother Nature, and for that reason, Anglers and Campers are of a similar mindset…. If you need a pick-me-up, you can even opt for some of our supplements and energy-boosting items such as collagen sachets, super blend coffees and happiness diffusers. This table is absolutely perfect for setting up inside your awning or close to your cooking area, because within that briefcase-like exterior, there exists a couple of sizeable fabric cupboards having individual zippable front-loading bays.

It’s one of those irritating occurrences which makes you wonder why you bother with this camping malarkey – you spend an age putting up your tent in the sun and then pour yourself a drink to relax, before promptly spilling half of it when you nudge the table as you sit down. One thing we did notice is that there is a spring-loaded pin which requires pushing in to change the height of the legs, and this can easily catch the skin on your thumb as you press it. Please bear in mind though that this is more of a side table and is probably not large enough to eat around unless there’s just a couple of you. This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for.Bamboo wood is fairly unique in that it has the look of tree wood but is actually made from a grass. There will be some products that are amazing quality and packed full of additional features or specifications, but do take the time to really get an idea if you need that level of quality or if your budget and needs mean you should get something else. A clever touch is the central triangular section of the table which can be used either flush with the main surface or raised by around 10cm to act as a platform to put food on in a more easy-to-share location.

In fact they probably fit in the final segment we mentioned above whereby they deliver a fantastic overall package.The tables are unusual in that they use a fabric top section which is held extremely taut by a set of metal poles within the fabric which are propped out into a rigid frame. The table top measures 100cm (L) x 70cm (W) and so the key consideration with this table is whether you will have room for transporting it in your car or campervan.

Whether in the shelf compartment with zip or in one of the practical side pockets – there is plenty of space for the whole family. The metal legs are easily accessible from their neat storage bag and can be quickly unfolded and snapped into shape before attaching to the metal top. OK, I’m not talking about Miss World here, but you can see why the Victorians used to have to cover their table legs to avoid the menfolk getting too amorous!We provide hints and tips about camping as well as reviews of the gear we’ve found useful over the years.
