Rental Tent Tour: Inside the De Waard and Karsten Set-Ups at Camping Le Plô

Arriving at a campsite and finding your rental tent already set up can turn a good holiday into a far easier one. If you want the camping experience without the work of packing a full tent kit, setting everything up, and sleeping on basic mats, this rental tent tour of Camping Le Plô shows exactly what is waiting for you on site. You will discover the differences between the De Waard and Karsten rental tents, what equipment is included, how the pricing works by season, and which option may suit your trip best.

Camping Le Plô offers fully equipped De Waard and Karsten tents that are already erected on the campsite. That means you can focus on the holiday itself instead of the logistics of bringing and pitching your own tent. For families, couples, and campers who want comfort while keeping the outdoor feel, that can make all the difference.

What rental tents are available at Camping Le Plô?

Camping Le Plô offers two tent rental options highlighted here:

Both are presented as fully equipped rental tents. The Karsten set-up is described in more detail as a luxury inflatable rental tent that lets guests enjoy camping with a little more comfort.

Quick answer: what is the difference?

The clearest distinction is capacity and style:

The Karsten tents are also described as 6 persons tents furnished for 4 for extra comfort, which points to a more spacious experience for four guests.

What is included in the Karsten set-up?

Camping Le Plô describes the Karsten tents as completely furnished. The tents are listed as:

The tent includes:

You only need to bring along:

This set-up is ideal for campers who want a practical arrival: beds are already there, key kitchen items are included, and the fridge with freezer adds useful day-to-day convenience.

Why the Karsten tent appeals to comfort-focused campers

A furnished rental tent can simplify nearly every stage of the trip. You avoid transporting a large tent, sleeping systems, and much of your cooking equipment. The Karsten also offers the classic atmosphere of camping while giving you a more structured and comfortable base.

That makes it especially appealing if you:

De Waard rental tent: a larger furnished option

Camping Le Plô also offers the Tent hire 6 persons "De Waard". It is presented alongside the Karsten tents as part of the campsite's fully equipped rental accommodation offering.

For guests who need more sleeping capacity, the De Waard is the larger option in this rental tent tour. It suits campers who want a ready-to-use tent while keeping the feel of a traditional camping holiday.

De Waard pricing

The standard rental prices listed for the De Waard are:

Season Price per week Price per night
Low season 300 €/p.wk 45 €/p.night
Mid season 500 €/p.wk 78 €/p.night
High season 645 €/p.wk 108 €/p.night

Because this is the 6-person option, it may be the better fit when you want extra sleeping room or are travelling as a larger household.

Karsten rental tent prices and stay conditions

The Tent hire 4 persons "Karsten" has clear seasonal pricing and booking conditions.

Karsten rates by season

Season Dates Minimum stay Arrival and departure Price per week Price per night
Main season 14/7 - 18/8 Min 5 nights Thursday, Saturday and Sunday € 570/p.wk € 95/p.night
Mid season 1/7 - 14/7 and 18/8 - 1/9 Min 2 nights Every day of the week € 485/p.wk € 75/p.night
Low season 1/5 - 1/7 and 1/9 - 30/9 Min 2 nights Every day of the week € 300/p.wk € 45/p.night

This structure gives guests a straightforward way to plan a shorter low- or mid-season break or a longer main-season holiday.

Cleaning expectations at departure

At departure, the rental tent must be left clean and arranged. The required tasks include:

If this is not done correctly, € 35 will be charged from the deposit.

How the rental tent experience compares with caravan hire

Some guests comparing accommodation types may also want to look at the 4-person caravan. It is also fully equipped and includes electricity, gas, cooking gear, a fridge, cutlery, a garden set, and a coffee maker.

Caravan standard prices

Season Price per week Price per night
Low season 225 €/p.wk 35 €/p.night
Mid season 405 €/p.wk 60 €/p.night
High season 495 €/p.wk 82 €/p.night

The caravan can be a useful comparison point if you are deciding between a more enclosed stay and a rental tent holiday. If you prefer canvas, outdoor atmosphere, and the classic feel of camping, the De Waard and Karsten options remain the natural choice.

Even with a furnished rental tent, bringing the right personal items matters. In particular, pay attention to the bedding notes for the Karsten tents:

4. Leave time for departure cleaning

The departure checklist is specific. Giving yourself enough time on the last morning can help you avoid the € 35 charge linked to insufficient cleaning and arranging.
