A day at the park when there were no Camping Tables available
The other day I went to the park for Labor Day. In the morning my wife prepared a delicious potato salad, the best baked beans on the planet and we had some nice steaks, hotdogs and hamburgers that were just ready to grill to perfection. We bought some buns, chips, ice and beverages with the grill put in the car the kids were jumping up and down thrilled at the thought of a nice day that we were going to spend at the park. When we finally made it, we saw that every camping table was full and there were absolutely no camping tables to put all of the food while we prepared the meats. We had to eat our food on the ground along with all of the ants. The rest of the day was dedicated to fighting off the ants and scratching. I learned my lesson, that when we got home I was going to immediately go out and buy a Coleman tables and chairs so that this would never happen again!
Here are some options that I was shown when looking for a camping table and chairs.
There were camping tables made for two, four or more. The camping tables were made of aluminum which is lighweight and durable. Some come with stools or benches which are made to be versatile, the table of two can fold up and store the two stools or the 4 person camping table comes either normal aluminum or they come with padded benches which are used as a case for storing the table This way it is easy to put in the car and take it out for set up. I really liked the 4 person camping table with the padded benches because this looked comfortable for a change in the way that you think of camping tables. The are great because they are easy to clean and as you know aluminum lasts for a long time, with a little warm water and soap it is easily cleaned and ready for the next outing so our family will never be out of luck on the next day at the park. You might want to buy more aluminum camping chairs for guests that come along. It was easy for me to select my camping table because the cushioned benches were what made the choice for me and it was affordable.
Since the camping table was so affordable I was able to splurge and buy a camping kitchen for my wife so maybe I will convince her to go camping gear which she hates. It should be easier for her to agree because she doesn´t only have a good folding camping table and benches but she also has her camping kitchen to be able to better prepare the food so that she can feel like she´s at home, but outside.
On our next day at the park we are planning on inviting our extended family so we went ahead and bought another folding camping table and chairs for the other family members to enjoy the day with us.
With the perfect which we previously bought we are ready for the next family day at the park.
