Camping can get messy, especially when you aren't prepared. While sometimes you need to completely rough it (say when you are backpacking) and use a rock as a surface for your plate, some campers like to have all the right tools and equipment to make it feel like an outdoor home. While a camp table might not be the first thing you think of when you are packing your camping gear, it's a pretty nice addition to any campsite if you plan on staying more than a night or two.
