Can anyone recommend a camp chair that is lightweight, comfortable and fold up small enough to fit in my baggage compartment?

I have two of these. One of the smaller, lighter options I've found. They sit fairly well too.

I've got several dozen (or so it seems) of those "tube" chairs, including a freebie I got from Continental a few years back.
Helinox makes several that would fill the bill without taking much room. I just recently bought their "Chair 2 Rocker"--used my REI dividend and 20% off coupon--otherwise way too pricey. But it's very well made, very light weight, surprisingly comfortable, and folds amazingly compactly. https://www.rei.com/product/106192/h...air-two-rocker

I'd shy away from a chair that has legs that can sink into the ground unless you're only going to use it on paved surfaces. Disclaimer - I'm built for traction, not for speed so I need to spread out the 'load' - lol
Lots of the chairs with "pointy legs" have plastic feet that spread the load. I was curious about that when I bought my chairs.Originally Posted by CHICAGORANDY
A 3"x3"x1/4" piece of plywood will keep the chair leg from sinking in. I keep a piece in the tiny tool bag of my motorcycle to keep the kick stand from sinking into hot asphalt, or soft dirt.
