Our Analysis & Ratings

The Portal Outdoor Folding Portable Aluminium Camping Table is a versatile, space-saving solution for campers, RV travellers and outdoorsy people who need a sturdy yet packable surface. With an adjustable height design, a convenient mesh storage layer and a compact fold-down size, this table is great for everything from meal prep and dining to serving as a workstation for hobbies. While it’s not the most heavy-duty table on the market, its lightweight construction, easy setup and ability to adapt to uneven terrain make it a practical option.

Performance - In real-world use, the Portal Outdoor table performs well for its intended purposes. The independently adjustable legs allow for leveling on uneven ground, which is a major advantage when camping on sloped or rocky terrain. It can comfortably hold a camp stove, a 7-gallon water jug and cooking utensils at the same time, with the mesh layer underneath providing extra storage for smaller items. While it’s stable enough for most tasks, there can, however, be a slight wobble when fully extended, especially if the legs aren’t firmly locked. For a lightweight folding table, though, it offers impressive stability, handling up to 60kg without buckling.

Construction - Built with a roll-up aluminium tabletop and a folding aluminium frame, this table is designed for durability without excessive weight. The legs feature a telescoping design with secure lever locks, though just be aware that dirt or sand can make them harder to collapse over time. The tabletop is made of slatted aluminium, which resists water and is easy to clean, though it can scratch with heavy use. One minor drawback is the plastic attachment points for the tabletop, which may wear out over time. Overall, though, build quality is solid, especially considering its 4.2kg weight.

Features - One of the standout features of this table is its adjustable height, ranging from 45cm (coffee table height) to 70cm (standard dining height), making it useful for multiple scenarios. The mesh storage layer beneath the table is a practical addition, providing space for kitchen tools, small gear or even wet dishes. Unlike some folding tables with obstructive X-braces, this design allows for better legroom, making it more comfortable for seated use. The included carry bag keeps everything organised, though a Velcro strap for the rolled-up tabletop would have been a helpful inclusion.

Portability - When folded, the table compresses down to 90x70x53cm, roughly the size of a camping chair, making it easy to store in an RV, car trunk, or even strapped to a backpack (for short carries). The 4.2kg weight keeps it manageable, though it’s not ultralight enough for backpacking. The bag’s two compartments (one for the frame, one for the tabletop) help keep things tidy, though repacking can take a little practice. You may want to consider adding foam caps to protect the plastic knobs during transport, but overall, it’s one of the more travel-friendly tables in its class.

Versatility - This table shines in its adaptability. It works as a dining table, food prep station, coffee table or even a field desk for remote work or hobbies. The adjustable legs make it functional on uneven ground, and the lack of obstructive crossbars allows for comfortable seating. You could even add tennis balls to the feet for better stability on sand or grass. While it’s best suited for small groups (2–4 people), it’s spacious enough for meals, games, or gear organisation. The only limitation is that moving it while fully assembled can be tricky, as the tabletop clamps may loosen if carried by the edges.

Overall - The Portal Outdoor Folding Portable Aluminium Camping Table is a well-designed, practical choice for campers, RVers and those who need extra space in the outdoors due to its lightweight, adjustable and packable surface. While it’s not as rock-solid as a heavy-duty camp table, its space-saving design, easy setup and versatile height adjustments make it a great value for the price.
