I didn’t start my trip with a side table. I thought it was silly, completely unnecessary. Why do you need a small table when you have a big picnic table at nearly all campgrounds? It didn’t take long for me to change my tune. I wanted something to sit beside me while I was around the campfire. Most of the time the picnic table is chained to the ground so it can’t be moved closer to the fire pit.
I also moved the table into my tent most of the time. It was so nice to have something to put things on – my charging devices, cup of tea or water, keys, lights, etc.
My thoughts:
Helinox is amazing! I have several of their products. They are lightweight and incredibly sturdy.
It is quite expensive, and if it’s too much for you, pick up a table from Walmart or Coleman. I’m a huge fan of both brands for camping gear.
And when you aren’t in camping mode, don’t put this away. It’s great on a patio, soccer games, backyard fire pit. It’s quite versatile.
Get this gear
Helinox.com has the table I purchased along with some other options. Going to their website will allow you to check out other options to find what is right for you.
You may prefer to add it to your Amazon cart. At the time of this post, it was the same price on both websites.
REI is a great resource for Helinox…and you get your dividends:)
