Product Information

We have recently discovered some delicious bamboo tables which cost slightly more than comparative aluminium or plastic alternatives but perform in a very stylish and practical manner. Bamboo as a material is extremely environmentally friendly and sustainable and so worth considering for that reason alone. It uses a folding bamboo table top which is 90cm in diameter when set up. Underneath are four legs which are height-adjustable to three different settings – 40cm, 58cm and 70cm. This is excellent flexibility. There is also individual height adjustment possible using the endcap screw for uneven ground.

The bamboo sections fit together really well with very minimal grooves in between them. This is a massive difference to some of the aluminium options we recommend below which tend to have bigger gaps. With the Navaris it is very easy to brush out crumbs and other wayward bits of stray food!

The Atepa Folding Bamboo Table is a wooden-topped offering in our roundup and an absolute peach of a design. The table top then connects securely onto the top of the spike and hey presto, you’ve got your own personal drinks table! Where the Zempire excels over other drinks tables is that there are four indents carved into the bamboo top. These support up to 4 wine glasses very nicely indeed. There is also a handy bottle opener on the underside of the table. Underneath the tabletop a useful net can be suspended (included in the bag) which adds a second layer of storage for say laptops or magazines. This certainly improves the functionality and flexibility of the Nestling versus some of the other similar-sized tables. This table looks great and will carry up to 23kg in weight – not quite enough to sit on, but pretty impressive nonetheless. The Trekology has rapidly become one of our go-to tables at Camping Secrets Towers, just because it is so well put together! In some ways a solid table top is the best option for keeping clean and tidy because you don’t get the little gaps and grooves into which crumbs can fall. It also feels more solidly built, being a single chunk of wood. Hot Legs

This is a great table for socialising for it can seat up to 8 people due to the hexagonal shape, with an independent height adjustment of each of the three legs. Bamboo wood is fairly unique in that it has the look of tree wood but is actually made from a grass. As such it does not warp or shrink when the humidity of the surroundings change. Setting the Outwell Kamloops up is easy – simply unfold the table top so that it is upside down, with the underside facing upwards. 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. This is a big table and can seat four with ease, and potentially up to six people.

This Bamboo Folding Table is a wooden-topped offering in our roundup and an absolute peach of a design from a classic outdoor company called Snow Peak who are based in the Fukushima region of Japan. A sturdy table is an essential component of camping life, but unfortunately they don’t receive the focus they should compared to other camping ‘must-haves’ such as tents or awnings. We were a little concerned about just having three fairly flimsy-looking legs to support the table but found that it is extremely stable in use. Our first bamboo choice is the Dometic Bamboo Large Table which is a gorgeous camping table using premium bamboo wood as a fixed (non-folding) top section. What do you think about fishing or angling? You either get it or you don’t I guess. I’m in the latter camp, and can’t really see the point of sitting at the side of a lake, in beautiful countryside, sipping at your chilled beer, occasionally pulling the line and…. hold on a minute! 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….

When opened up, the tabletop surface is very smooth which enables wine glasses to be placed on top without any fear of spillage. In fact, this is the smoothest table top we’ve reviewed and it would be possible to pen a letter on it (do people still do that?). To keep costs down, the material used for the Quechua table top is MDF, but this doesn’t interfere with the performance for eating, drinking, card games, etc. The surface is very smooth and a pleasure to sit and eat at. We highly recommend the Quechua hexagonal table for camping this year. Our first ‘luxury’ choice is the Navaris Bamboo which is a gorgeous camping table using premium, sustainable bamboo wood as the folding top section.

Preview

There are two pairs of legs which open outwards away from each other in a U shape, and the height of these legs can be switched between two settings. 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. Probably the only negative about this table, and only a minor problem at that. Summing up 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. Where the Zempire really shines though is the folded size. By a nifty design, and because the top surface is fabricated from four separate sections of bamboo, the table is easily folded into a 94 x 26 x 12cm bag.
