As winter is slowly coming to an end, it’s time to start preparing for warmer adventures.
The summer usually brings people to the beach where the weather is warm and the views unforgettable.
However, depending on where you live, the temperature at such places can get extremely high – especially during mid-day hours.
To stay comfortable, having a camping chair with canopy that provides protection from the sun is crucial.
Rather than messing around with umbrellas and other heavy accessories, we reckon we have the perfect answer to this problem – a camping chair with canopy

What Exactly is a Camping Chair With Canopy?
(SPORT-BRELLA)
A camping chair with canopy is simply a normal camp chair with an added piece that provides shade to the person sitting. It’s a simple yet very effective idea.
The benefits of a camping chair with canopy are that it provides shade without the inconvenience of moving around according to the sun or carrying heavy beach umbrellas with you on every trip.
Simply open the chair, sit down, and enjoy your relaxing time at the beach without getting sunburned.
Let’s have a look at what’s available!
Kelsyus Premium Canopy Chair
Our first option of a camping chair with canopy comes from Kelsyus.
Their premium canopy chair offers shade and quality. Furthermore, product satisfaction seems great as on Amazon, it scores a 4.5/5 rating out of 524 comments.
At around $230, this is an expensive product. However, Amazon has a massive 75% sale on it at the time of writing, so you can pick it up for just $54.99.
Hurry up and get yourself a great camping chair with canopy for a steal!
KampSmart Folding Camping Chair With Retractable Canopy Shade
The canopy camp chair from KampSmart probably offers the most protection from the sun of the camping chair with canopy options on this list (and even rain as most of it is waterproof). However, it does limit rear and side visibility.
This camp chair is designed to provide you with your own little cocoon that will keep you cool even during the hottest of days.
It may seem like this chair will be complicated to set up; however, that is not the case. Setting it up only takes a few seconds and involves unfolding the portable chair, pulling out the canopy cover, and attaching the top pole to the shade. After, it is time to take a seat and enjoy.
At around $200 (including a 9% sale), this camping chair with canopy is pricey. However, the durable design, waterproof material, removable canopy, and the great shade it provides make it worth the price.
GCI Outdoor Pod Rocker Collapsible Rocking Chair With Sunshade
As mentioned above, beach trips are all about relaxation; therefore, it only makes sense to produce a rocking camping chair with canopy.
Sit by the beach with a cold beverage under the shade of your canopy while you rock back and forth. Isn’t that how every beach trip should look?
The product that combines a canopy and a rocking mechanism is the GCI Outdoor Pod Rocker chair. At around $80 dollars and with a rating of 4.5/5, it seems like the perfect choice.
Obviously, due to the more complicated parts involved with this chair, it will be slightly heavier and will take a bit more space in your vehicle. However, depending on your setup, this may be something you can tolerate.
It should be mentioned that the canopy on this chair is smaller than the one on the two chairs mentioned above. Therefore, you may not get as much protection from the sun.
Quik Shade MAX Shade Chair
The Quik Shade MAX Shade Chair is the perfect choice for someone who is searching for a more affordable product.
At around $60, the Quik shade offers sun protection with canopy that provides the perfect compromise between having enough shade and visibility of your surroundings.
Furthermore, with a weight rating of 500lbs, It is the strongest option out of the products mentioned in this list.
Transporting and storing this chair in your vehicle will also be easy as it only weighs 9lbs and comes with a carry bag.
Best of all must be the fact that it comes with two mesh cup holders just in case you want both of your favorite beverages right next to you.
QuikShade also makes a line of camping chairs for kids. Their canopy option is the perfect addition for making the toddlers sit in the shade.
Sport-Brella 3-Position Recliner Chair with Removable Footrest
This camping chair with canopy from Sport Brella is one for the seeker of ultimate comfort. Recline, rest your fit on the footrest, sit under the shade of the canopy and enjoy your summer camping trip with one of your favorite beverages.
If you wish, you can also readjust the chair to stay in an upright position, and you can even remove the footrest and canopy.
Keep in mind that when fully reclined, you may not be able to take full advantage of the shade provided by the canopy as you are sitting lower.
Just like the POD rocker, this will take more space and will be heavier than the rest of the options; however, if comfort is what you are after, the Sport-Brella is tough to beat!
