We researched Fireside Outdoor's official pricing, terms, product pages, help pages and outside reviews. We haven't used Fireside Outdoor ourselves, so this is a research-based review, not a hands-on test.

Who it’s best for

  • Campers who want a fire pit that packs flat.
  • Campsites and beaches that require a raised fire.
  • Backyard owners who want a pit they can move.

Who should skip it

  • Probably not the best fit for people who want a permanent built-in backyard fire pit.

How it works day to day

This part draws on Fireside Outdoor’s own product pages, help center and documentation, read October 31, 2026 (listed under Sources). We haven’t used Fireside Outdoor ourselves.

Unfold the pit, set it on the heat shield, build your fire, then let it cool fully and fold it back into its bag.

What it costs

Prices checked October 31, 2026, from Fireside Outdoor’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.

  • Pop-Up Fire Pit & Heat Shield Bundle: $119.95 (shown down from $129.95).
  • Backyard Fire Pit Bundle: $169.95; Dutch Oven Fire Table: $139.95; Quad-Fold Grill Bundle: $199.95.
  • 30-day returns for unused items in original packaging, with proof of purchase.

What we like

  • Light and folds flat.
  • Heat shield helps protect the ground.
  • Amazon 4.7 out of 5 from about 1,450 ratings.
  • Phone support on weekdays.

What to watch for

  • Bundles cost more than the base pit.
  • Returns only for unused items.
  • Accessories add up.
  • Open-fire rules still apply.

The fine print

  • Check fire rules where you camp; many areas ban open fires during dry seasons.
  • Ask for a return within 30 days; used items cannot be returned.
  • Legitimacy signals we found: founded in 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona; Amazon showed 4.7 out of 5 from about 1,450 ratings for its main Pop-Up Fire Pit listing; its own site shows 4.8 from 457 reviews.

The main alternative: Bass Pro Shops

Bass Pro Shops sells a wide range of camp stoves, grills and fire pits online and in stores.

What it costs: Varies by item

Pick Fireside Outdoor if you…

  • want a packable fire pit.
  • camp where raised fires are required.
  • want campfire cooking add-ons.

Pick Bass Pro Shops if you…

  • want to compare many brands.
  • want in-store returns.
  • want other camping gear too.

Our take

Fireside Outdoor makes a well-rated portable fire pit with useful bundles; check local fire rules and use the 30-day return window if it does not suit you.
