If you've ever sat in a traditional round camping chair and found it awkward to get in and out of, the Outwell Casilda range is worth a look. The half-moon design is a clever evolution of the classic round chair — wider, more supportive, and far easier to use. Here's a full guide to the Casilda range we stock at Newquay Camping Shop, Cornwall's dedicated camping specialists.
Whether you're setting up on a pitch at a Cornwall campsite, relaxing in your drive-away awning, or spending a long weekend in the South West, a quality camping chair makes a real difference. The Casilda range delivers that — at a price that won't break the bank.
What Makes the Casilda Different?
The Casilda's half-moon shape gives you a wider, more open seat than a standard round chair — you're not perched in a bowl, you're sitting in something that actually supports your posture. The padded seat and backrest add genuine comfort for long evenings in the awning, and the steel frame is built to last. Both models open and fold in seconds with no assembly required, and both come with a carry bag.

Outwell Casilda Moon Chair — £36.99
The original Casilda — a compact, lightweight half-moon chair that's a significant step up from a basic camping chair without the bulk of the XL.
- Dimensions: 76 x 49 x 73 cm (W x D x H)
- Seat height: 35 cm
- Pack size: 25 x 21 x 85 cm
- Weight: approx. 4.5 kg
- Max load: 120 kg
- Frame: High-strength steel
- Fabric: 100% polyester, padded seat and backrest
At £36.99, it's the most accessible entry point into the Casilda range — and at 4.5 kg, it's light enough to carry comfortably between the car and the pitch. A great choice for Cornwall's coastal campsites where you're often carrying gear across uneven ground.
Best for: Solo campers, couples, or anyone who wants a comfortable half-moon chair without the larger footprint of the XL.
Outwell Casilda XL Chair — from £54.99
The XL is a noticeably bigger chair — wider, taller, and with a higher maximum load. If you want to spend a long evening in genuine comfort in your awning or on the pitch, this is the one.
- Dimensions: 104 x 63 x 90 cm (W x D x H)
- Seat height: 40 cm
- Pack size: 37 x 23 x 105 cm
- Weight: 7 kg
- Max load: 150 kg
- Frame: High-strength steel
- Fabric: 100% polyester, padded seat and backrest, logo-embossed
The XL is 5 cm taller than the Moon Chair, which makes it noticeably easier to get in and out of — a real advantage if you're spending hours in it or if mobility is a consideration. The higher 150 kg load rating also makes it the better choice for larger users.
Available as a twin pack for £105.00 — a saving of around £5–10 per chair versus buying individually, and ideal for couples who want a matching pair. Popular with caravanners and motorhome owners across Cornwall and the South West who want a quality chair setup without overspending.
Best for: Anyone who wants maximum comfort and a higher seat, or couples looking for a matching pair at a good price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Outwell Casilda chairs suitable for use inside an awning?
Yes — both models are designed for awning and tent use. The Moon Chair's smaller footprint (76 cm wide) makes it the better choice if space is tight; the XL (104 cm wide) is better suited to larger awnings and porch setups.
Do the Casilda chairs come with a carry bag?
Yes — both the Moon Chair and the XL include a carry bag as standard, making them easy to transport and store between trips.
Can one person carry the Casilda XL?
At 7 kg, the XL is manageable for most people — it's heavier than the Moon Chair (4.5 kg) but still well within the range of a single carry. The included bag makes it straightforward to transport from the car to the pitch.
What is the weight limit on the Outwell Casilda chairs?
The Casilda Moon Chair supports up to 120 kg. The Casilda XL has a higher maximum load of 150 kg, making it the better choice for larger users.
Are the Casilda chairs suitable for Cornwall's coastal campsites?
Yes — both models are well-suited to outdoor use on grass and hard standings. The steel frame and robust polyester fabric handle Cornwall's variable weather well. For windier pitches, make sure your awning is well-guyed and pegged.
What's the difference between the Casilda Moon Chair and the Casilda XL?
The XL is larger in every dimension — 28 cm wider, 17 cm taller, and with a seat height 5 cm higher than the Moon Chair. It also has a higher maximum load (150 kg vs 120 kg) and weighs more (7 kg vs 4.5 kg). The Moon Chair is the lighter, more compact, and more affordable option; the XL is the premium comfort choice.
Where can I buy Outwell Casilda chairs in Cornwall?
Both models are available online with free UK delivery and in store at Newquay Camping Shop — Cornwall's dedicated camping specialists at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, serving campers, caravanners, and motorhome owners across Cornwall and the South West.
