GCI Outdoor Comfort Pro Rocker Collapsible Rocking Chair & Outdoor Camping Chair, Indigo Blue by GCI Outdoor

After going through I don’t know how many cheap folding camp chairs over the years, I finally took the plunge and bought a pair of these rocking camp chairs with sun shades. We are in the south and kids sports are everywhere, all year long, and hotter than the hinges of hell in the full sunlight at most sports fields. Soccer is 80 minutes long and that is a long time to roast. These chairs make that process a bit more bearable. The sunshades are awesome to keep you out of the sun and about as comfortable as you can be. They fold relatively easy, though getting the travel bag (which is pretty robust compared to cheaper chairs) can be a challenge with all the extra metal bars for the hood supports. The rocking feature is amazing and being able to just lean back sometimes really saves my back. There is a dedicated phone storage pocket, which is nice and a cup holder that works for cans, but I don’t put my big old water bottle in there as I don’t want to rip it. Good for beer or sodas though. Now the Cons: The cost is a hard pill to swallow, I can’t sugar coat it. These are about four times what you pay for a normal folding camp chair, but the features and quality make it worth it. We have other sports parents friends that have had these for years and are still lugging them out to games and they still look and work great, so I know we will get years out of them too. These chairs are a permanent feature in my wife’s soccer mom SUV and store small, so not a hassle to keep in there. Overall, we love them.

The GCI Outdoor Rocker Pro Camp Chair has quickly become my favorite chair to bring along. What I like most is how comfortable it is compared to other camp chairs. With most chairs, I end up feeling like I’m slouching or sinking too low, but this one has great support and keeps you sitting upright in a natural position. It’s genuinely relaxing, especially with the smooth rocking motion.

Another thing I really appreciate is how compact it folds down. A lot of rocking chairs are bulky and awkward to haul around, but this one is designed to fold up much smaller, which makes it easy to pack in the truck or carry to camp. It gives you the comfort of a rocker without the hassle of a big frame taking up space.

Overall, it’s well-made, supportive, and thoughtfully designed. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a camp chair that feels more like real furniture but is still portable and practical.

I needed something that gave my back better support than the typical fold-up chairs that leave me compressed and uncomfortable. This chair has been a great solution. The rocking feature is smooth and silent, the stitching feels solid, and the fabric is exactly as described. I especially love the mesh back, it makes a big difference on hot days.

For reference, I’m 5’2” with shorter legs, and my feet don’t touch the ground in this chair. That’s pretty typical for me, though, so I just use a small footrest (something I always bring camping anyway) to keep a proper leg position for comfortable sitting and leaning. If you’re on the shorter side and that bothers you, keep this in mind.

Overall, it’s comfortable, well-made, and a big improvement from standard camp chairs.

this is a great chair. my summer was spent sitting outside at tournaments all day long on the weekends and evening practices. the built in sunshade is amazing. having a phone holder and cup holder great. i think that i will go for the rocking version if i see it go on sale.

The chair itself is excellent quality, durable and comfortable. The chair is easily 5.

Though the cargo bag is of poor durable quality. The rating on the bag is 1/2. We bought 2 chairs in April 2025 and the cargo bag did not last. The bottoms are failing(holes and seams are ripping open, therefore unable to use cargo bags further.
