One tester has kept it in that Tacoma for at least the last five years, where it comes in handy for apres ski parking lot feasts and for dinnertime prep on a weekend rafting trip. Our testers have taken an older model of the Helinox Table One on road trips, camping trips, living out of an old Tacoma, and on backpacking trails from the Adirondack Mountains of New York to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to the Coastal Mountains of Alaska and British Columbia. However, when it comes to out-on-the-trail camping, no table made a better impression on us than the Helinox Table One, making it the winner for best camping table for those who value weight over height. The only reason it didn’t? The lower height profile works well between two camp chairs or next to the campfire but isn’t the best for bigger groups or standing up to cook. We were nearly convinced that the Helinox Table One should take the Overall Best Camping Table Winner slot thanks to its mere 1.5 pounds, its great packability, its 110-pound weight rating, its strong weather-resistant mesh top, and its snap-in-place easy setup. What we liked: Less than 2 lbs, sunken cup holders mid-table, holds over 100 lbs of weight, super fast set-up, 5 year warranty Material: Aluminum, durable mesh and rip-stop polyester Surface area and height: 16 x 23.5 x 15.5 inches (length x width x height)

However, with forethought and good planning (bury the two legs in the rocks, if your campsite has gravel!), the GCI Outdoor Slim-Fold table will rock your camping world.īest lightweight portable camping table: Helinox Table One Our testers’ minor complaints were about the lack of adjustability (one taller tester felt like he had to stoop down to use the camp table) and that the table could be tippy if not “dug in” or set on a flat surface properly, which adjustable legs would have helped. (Juggling several hot pans and pots when cooking for 6+ people would have been easier with a place to put the pans that wasn’t plastic.) However, when taking on an ambitious meal like steak and risotto or biscuits and gravy for 6 folks, the four plastic side tables were nothing short of miraculously helpful.Īll in all, it’s the considerate design that won us over with the GCI Outdoor Slim-Fold Cook Station - the extra space that can be folded up or tucked away as needed, the cookstove-safe top, the durable steel braces, the clever cut-out hooks to hold all of our accessories elevated our camp cooking experience to a new level. The aluminum countertop withstood a camp stove easily, although we would have liked the side tables to be made of the same material at times.

The metal grate on the bottom level served us well holding the dish bin and keeping our soft cooler full of meats and veggies handy, and held up well despite several bumps from curious dog noses. (You read that right - all of those side tables are already attached, so no losing a wing to the depths of your closet between now and next camping season!) GCI thought of just about everything when it comes to this kitchen cook station table - it sports three levels of storage racks or table tops, has a cookstove/grill-compatible aluminum tabletop at the top, utilizes cup holders and hooks built into the side tables for extra pizazz, sits just under the $100 mark, and folds down to the size of a collapsed beach chair, all in one foldable piece. You want options? The GCI Outdoor Slim-Fold Cook Station gives you plenty of ‘em. What we didn't like: we wish the side tables were also aluminum, lack of table height adjustability, requires securing legs What we liked: three levels of storage racks, cookstove/grill compatible aluminum table top, cup holders and hooks, good value price, easy folding and portability
