Highly collapsible and highly functional…that’s what comes to mind when I use the NEMO Moonlander Dual-Height Table. It's ideal for 1 or 2 people to use for a meal or to hold odds and ends next to a chair (i.e. lantern, drinks, book, etc.)

Conditions I’ve used the NEMO Moonlander table for nearly 4 months, from late spring through summer and now as we head into the early days of autumn. The table has been used during weekend camping trips, day trips to the beach, and at several backyard cookouts. It’s been a landing spot for food, card games, lanterns, kindling, kid’s coloring books/toys, and much more.      Moonlander (in low height position) with carrying case Specs Packed Size (in carrying case): 15" x 9.5" x 1.5" Standing Size (Low Height Option): 15.5" Standing Size (High Height Option): 3.5" Carrying Weight: 4 lbs and 14 oz (2.2 kg) Table Top Dimensions: 18.5" x 14.5" Weight Limit: 100 lbs (45.4 kg) High height position Low height position   Construction and...

Ingeniously designed, this rugged and sturdy little table provides an extra level of backcountry enjoyment and comfort at camp time — with minimal effect on your pack weight. Works well as an elevated platform for canister stoves as well. Setup and take-down are a cinch and the table stows in a fully daisy-chained soft case for versatile packing. Although built well for two in the backcountry and optimized for Helinox chairs, this versatile table works well with or without other similar chair systems and is ideal where a quick and portable table is needed.

EASE OF USE This is a well-built item, with quality construction, not surprising considering it's DAC's design and materials. The DAC hubs and poles are perfectly integrated. Assembly is easy thanks to the hubs and Jake's Foot style mounts between legs and table top. I've assembled it 20 times at least, and have never had a problem with it. Kids have assembled it as well, without directions. It is intuitive. It takes about 20-30 seconds to set up and about 1 minute to take down and roll up for packing.

Sturdy little camp table, easy to set up and break down. Best used by car and motorcycle campers.

Perfect small table for the campsite. I car camp so the weight and length of this table when rolled up is not an issue. I always camp at dispersed sites so I use the table for cooking when there is no picnic table at the site. When I'm relaxing in my chair it's a great place to set my beverage. Also the table has two built-in can holders, one at each end of the table. I use a Coleman one burner stove and an 8" cast iron skillet to cook and this table handles them no problem. The table is 31" long and 20" wide, stands 18" off the ground and comes in two colors.

This is an excellent portable, sturdy table for base camping or canoeing. For the lux adventurer, this little table is perfect for camp's table needs.

From REI's website: Whether you're playing cards or sitting down for dinner, the packable RIO Adventure One-Piece 18 in. camp table comes in handy on all car-camping adventures. Aluminum frame and heat-dissipating aluminum tabletop support up to 60 lbs. Innovative design allows this table to fold to half the size of many other camp tables for easy transportation Includes telescoping legs (see how the table takes up no appreciable room) My friend and I used the table on a 150-mile Missouri River Breaks trip this summer.

Compact and lightweight small folding table.

  The Tiyastun folding camping table This little folding table is the sort of item you find on Amazon and Ebay—cheap, bearing an odd-sounding brand name you've never heard of before, yet decently made and genuinely useful. It is not for weight-conscious hikers, but it can be useful for car or bike camping trips or simply picnics in the outdoors. It is not a table you can sit at and eat from, but more of a small platform on which you can set things down without fear that they will tip over on rough ground.
