A longtime favorite for car camping and multi-day rafting trips, the Camp Time Roll-A-Table is also one of our personal favorites year after year. It sets up quickly and rolls down into a compact package, and its tabletop is constructed of wood slats fully encased in a durable poly-vinyl that is easy to wipe clean. Its aluminum legs screw into the tabletop, a unique design among roll-top models, which often have more complicated setup configurations. It's large enough for food prep, playing cards, or seating a few people for a sit-down meal, and the mesh pocket in the front is great for storing odds and ends and kitchen tools. It can also serve as a drying rack for recently washed dishes. One of our testers put this model through the wringer with several years of rafting trips, and it still has lots of life in it.
Though sturdy, the table can be wobbly due to its lack of crisscrossing support beams &mdash; although this allows you to comfortably sit at the table, too. Aluminum dust from the legs wore off on our hands when assembling, which required us to rinse off our hands after setting up and tearing down. Flaws aside, we know of several people who've utilized this table for a decade or longer. Though it's not one of the cheapest options in our test fleet, when you consider the years of potential use you may get out of it, its price tag could end up being a bargain. We feel that its packability, straightforward setup, and general usefulness are worthy enough to earn it one of the top spots in our review.

Tired of fumbling through plastic storage totes or make-shift containers for the spatula or pancake mix? The Camp Chef Sherpa Table is designed to keep your camping kitchen organized in one place. One of the most unique cooking station tables we've ever reviewed, the Sherpa is an organizer's dream — complete with color-coded storage totes that can be individually labeled. Think of the Sherpa as a portable kitchen cupboard system. It's smaller than the largest cook stations we examined, but its denier fabric design is lightweight and sturdy. This table's stand-out feature is its colorful, separate storage totes. They fit perfectly into the table's interior and allow users to organize, pack, and carry nearly all of their cooking supplies in one enclosed system. We even had enough space to store our stove. One of the totes is an insulated cooler that doubles as a washbasin and can keep iced drinks cold for about one day. The Sherpa sets up super fast and has a very reasonable base weight. It's an ideal table for keeping everything you need in one place and for cooking up grub for a medium to small-sized camp.
While this model has plenty of storage space, it doesn't boast a large workspace. After our cooking stove was in place, we had little to no space to prepare food or place cooking utensils. It's also a bit vertically challenged. It's shorter than the other cook stations we tested, and our testers felt it needed more than just one height setting. Yet, for its overall convenience and organization, this is our favorite cook station.
