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:
- Tent hire 6 persons "De Waard"
- Tent hire 4 persons "Karsten"
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:
- De Waard: a 6-person rental tent
- Karsten: a 4-person rental tent, presented as a luxury inflatable tent
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.

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:
- Want to camp without owning a tent
- Prefer real beds over basic sleeping mats
- Do not want the hassle of setting up and breaking down camp gear
- Like the idea of a more luxurious camping stay
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.

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.

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 |
