Understanding the Karsten tent rates by season
The Karsten rental tent is positioned as a more spacious and comfortable way to camp without bringing your own tent. It is described as a luxury, inflatable rental tent, completely furnished, with 4 beds, mattresses, duvets, pillows, cooking gear, a fridge with freezer, cooking and tableware, cutlery, a garden set and lights.
These tents are 6 persons tents furnished for 4 for extra comfort, which makes them a strong option for guests who want a camping experience with real beds and a ready-to-use setup.
Low season: the best entry price for Karsten comfort
In low season, the Karsten tent costs:
- € 300/p.wk
- € 45/p.night
For travelers focused on value, this is the most accessible rate for this accommodation type. The booking conditions are also flexible:
- Min 2 nights
- Arrival and depart: every day of the week
That flexibility matters. If you want a shorter stay or prefer to avoid fixed weekend-style travel patterns, low season gives you more room to plan around your own schedule.
Mid season: a balance between timing and price
In mid season, the Karsten tent costs:
- € 485/p.wk
- € 75/p.night
The conditions remain convenient:
- Min 2 nights
- Arrival and depart: every day of the week
Mid season can suit guests who want a holiday during busier periods while still keeping more flexibility than the main summer weeks.

High season: peak-period pricing for Karsten tent stays
In main season / high season, the Karsten tent costs:
- € 570/p.wk
- € 95/p.night
The conditions change in this period:

In low season, the 4-person caravan costs:
- € 225/p.wk

- € 405/p.wk
- € 60/p.night

Booking conditions that affect your total decision
Price matters, but booking rules matter too. A lower nightly rate is most useful when it aligns with your trip length and preferred travel days.
Low and mid season are more flexible
For both the Karsten tent and the 4-person caravan, low and mid season offer:
- Minimum stay of 2 nights
- Arrival and departure every day of the week

High season is more structured

- Minimum stay of 5 nights
- Arrival and departure on thursday, saturday and sunday
This structure can be manageable for longer holidays, but it is less adaptable for shorter visits.
Extra rental costs to consider during your stay
If you are budgeting carefully, it helps to look beyond the accommodation rate and think about optional extras.
Useful hire options
Available hire prices include:
- Cot: 4,50 € per day, deposit: € 0
- Baby chair: 2,50 € per day
- Cot + Baby chair: 6 € per day
- Sheets: € 8,00 per unit
For families, these extras can make packing lighter and your journey simpler.
Equipment deposits
The deposit requirement for rental equipment is € 0.
Practical tips for choosing the best season
If you are unsure when to book, use these simple decision points.
1. Start with your budget ceiling
If price is the main factor, begin with low season. It delivers the lowest weekly and nightly rates for both accommodation types.
2. Decide how much flexibility you need
If you want to arrive on a day that suits your route or personal schedule, low and mid season are easier because arrival and departure are available every day of the week.
3. Match the accommodation to your holiday style
Choose the 4-person caravan if you want the lower-cost furnished option. Choose the Karsten tent if you want a luxury, inflatable rental tent experience with furnished camping comfort and real beds.
4. Look at trip length before comparing nightly rates
A low nightly price is useful, but only if it matches the number of nights you want to book. Since high season requires a minimum of 5 nights, short stays are easier to plan in the lower seasons.
5. Think beyond accommodation only
If you are planning a family stay, extras such as a cot, baby chair, or sheets can influence convenience and final cost. If you are comparing accommodation types, it can also help to look at related rental topics such as the campsite’s other fully equipped tents, rental caravan details, and practical hire items for guests.
Departure conditions for rental accommodation
For both the Karsten tent and the rental caravan, departure cleaning standards are clearly defined. At departure, guests must leave the accommodation clean and arranged, including washed dishes, cleaned tables and closets, an empty and clean refrigerator with freezer defrosted, collected linens, garbage disposed in the container, and the accommodation left broomclean with furniture arranged as found on arrival.
If this is not right, € 35 will be charged from the deposit.
Final takeaway: when do you save the most?
The clearest answer is this: the biggest savings are in low season, and the 4-person caravan is the most affordable option across all three seasons. The Karsten tent costs more in every period, but it offers a distinct ready-to-camp experience with furnished comfort, real beds, and a fully equipped setup.
For guests who want the best balance of price, flexibility, and simple planning, low season stands out. For those tied to summer holidays, high season remains available, but it comes with higher rates and stricter booking conditions.

If you are planning your next holiday at Camping Le Plô, compare your preferred dates with the low, mid, and high season rates for Karsten tents and the 4-person caravan before you book. It is the easiest way to choose the accommodation and season that fit your budget.
