We just got a blow up couch which is ever so comfy. Fully inflates in about 4-5 minutes and also can be used as blow up beds.

That sounds great - where did you get it from? we managed to break TWO chairs in france last year. Must be all that cheese, not to mention the wine! The chairs were like the ones crazycamper has so we're on the lookout for something as well. Claire

Hi we had 3 of these chairs last year all brand new and they had all burst by the end of the 2 weeks.  Our friend bought the fold down old fashioned chairs with the material that cost about a fiver  each and his were like new by the end of the holiday.

I still use the old fashioned steel framed chairs that fold flat, they are much more comfortable and robust than the modern chairs that fold into a bag.  They are easier to pack too, they lie flat in the car boot then everything else goes on top of them.

I have a moon chair. Similar to the one in this link but covered in a fake leather:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B0000U4MBS/ref=dp_image_0/103-7606703-3415824?ie=UTF8&n=3375251&s=sporting-goods

It is a bit of a squeeze to get it in the car, but well worth it. (as long as I can remove the kids from it!)

Its only a bargain if you needed it in the first place!!!

The couch is double height so a real ease to get out of. Link below to the one we got

Have got a couple of throws to put over couch. We cant wait sitting there watching the world go by outside our tent with a glass of wine or two on a lovely warm summers eve.

I've sat in one of those moon chairs in our local camp shop and i must admit they are very comfy. But a little pricey. The directors chairs look the best, they don't seem to cut into the back of your legs, plus you have the added bonus of a side table.

We used to use the old style aluminium framed chairs with high backs, but found the front of the frame almost stops the blood supply to your feet  I use a wooden framed canvas directors chair now which is sooooo comfy. However, hubby insists on taking his lounger with big thick padded cushion - takes up loads of room in the trailer
