I have a range of 'proper' (read expensive) camp tables. These days I default to fold-in-half blow-mold jobbie. I think it was $32.00
I know the problems when trying to eat off a table from a camp chair, so I went looking for stackable plastic stools like my grandparents had in the caravan years ago.
Now when i were a lad plastic stools were everywhere, but not so easy to source these days. Found some at Clark Rubber for $14.00 each, so not particularly cheap.

They also double as side-tables when sitting on a camp chair around the fire.
You don't need to be careful with them when packing, but they do take up some space. I stack them and put them under a seat in the Jayco with stuff packed inside the space. One stool takes up almost the same volume as six.
Another use is as a carry bag. Invert them, fill the space with fishing gear, get a kid each side on a 'handle' , and walk down to the jetty for a fish. You've got something to sit on when you get there
