Karsten Imperia

The biggest of them all

The Karsten Imperia is by far the largest tent in the Karsten family. It comfortably accommodates up to 5 people — ideal for larger families! Yet despite its generous size, it’s just as easy to pitch as our other tunnel tents.

the Karsten Imperia

de grootste van allemaal

The Imperia is the most spacious tent in our collection. With two 2-person sleeping cabins on either side, a single sleeping cabin in the centre, and a living area of more than 22 m², you’ll never feel cramped. “A student would be jealous!” joked one journalist — and he wasn't wrong. With the Imperia, you truly create a home away from home.

A subtle nod to our 40th anniversary in 2021.

Unique add-on: the Camping Dressoir

The Imperia is already one of a kind, but what makes it even more special is the optional Dressoir: a wide cupboard that zips onto either side of the side window. The result? Substantial storage space without losing your view. In fact, it beautifully frames the large window. The generous compartments give you all the space you need to organise your camping gear neatly. And when it’s time to pack up, the dressoir folds flat for easy transport. Say goodbye to all those bulky camping cupboards — and hello to the Dressoir!

  • The Tent
  • The Rear Wall Panel
  • The Standard Awning
  • Divider Walls
  • Peg bag incl. guy lines
  • Instruction manual

In a separate bag: 5 robust yet lightweight aluminium arch poles. Any optional awnings also come in a separate bag.

 

A comfortable night’s sleep

The Imperia is designed with comfort and efficiency in mind. Every inch is used to its full potential. Take the large mesh door on the right side — it allows plenty of fresh air in while keeping pesky insects out.

Each spacious sleeping cabin features a modern ventilation grille, ensuring pleasant air circulation even in poor weather. Combined with the breathable cotton canvas, you’re guaranteed a cool and well-ventilated sleeping space. A peaceful night’s sleep, no matter the weather.

Why we choose Bisonyl?

The groundsheet of Karsten tunnel tents is made from strong Bisonyl — a high-grade PVC fabric known for its durability and weather resistance. It’s completely waterproof and tough enough to handle a wide range of outdoor conditions. Its tear- and wear-resistant nature ensures a long lifespan, even with frequent use. Bonus: Bisonyl is easy to keep clean too.

Every Karsten Tent is made with 100% Ten Cate cotton — a premium material praised for its breathability and strength. Look closely and you’ll see the weave allows in some light and air, helping to prevent condensation and creating a pleasant indoor climate. When it rains, the cotton fibres swell naturally, sealing the weave and making the fabric fully waterproof. It’s almost magical!

Optional: More awning, more comfort

The Dressoir already adds generous storage, but what about those wet coats or that cosy jumper for chilly evenings? We’ve got the answer: the hanging rail. Perfect for jackets, a lantern, a mug, or even a roll of toilet paper. Wonderfully multifunctional!

Want even more covered space than the Imperia already offers? No problem. Extend your living area with one of our optional awnings. Choose the Extension Awning, which zips in between the tent and standard awning, or opt for the Combi Awning, which attaches to the front. For even more outdoor enjoyment!
Come experience them in our showroom in Zwaag or visit one of our dealers to find the perfect match for your camping style.
