1981

The basic tent can be set up within several minutes and is available from 220 x 220 cm to 380 x 380 cm. The smallest model offers space for two to sleep. In the Karsten 380 model, with a surface of almost 15 m2, it’s possible to go camping with a large family. Even if you stay with several people in the tent, the air does not get stuffy due to our fantastic ventilation system.

The standard tent is equipped with a strong bisonyl tub shaped sewn in groundsheet with a standing edge of 25cm. This allows for loads of comfort and keeps out drafts, moisture, and insects. That's not a nice to have, but "need to have"! The tent is fully customisable, and can easily be extended with a broad range of awnings, link tents or sleeping extensions.

Unique inflation system

Karsten Tents are inflated under pressure. Up to 4 bar (58 PSI). Thanks to this high pressure, the tent is not only pitched within minutes but also stands as solid as a house. The hoses of the frame are made of the same strong material as a fire hose, so it’s easy to withhold this pressure. Inflating a classic Karsten Tent can be done with a foot pump or compressor. Whichever pump your customer chooses, inflating a Karsten Tent may attract some curious campers.

"Once revolutionary, still the best!"

100% Cotton Canvas

Awnings

The inflatable Karsten Tent can be extended with different awnings. This makes your customers holidays even more comfortable! Creating plenty of space for extra camping gear. A Karsten Tent always comes with an awning zip, which makes it possible to extend the tent at a later stage with an awning.

The canvas is a 100% Ten Cate cotton canvas and reinforces the breathability of the tent. There is also an adjustable and closable ventilation system in the top of the tent, adjustable from the inside. The Karsten 280 and up have two vents in the back to improve ventilation. So even if you stay with several people in the tent, the air does not get stuffy due to this fantastic ventilation system.

Customize your own Karsten Tent. It's easy! And fits your (changing) needs.

One can easily extend the Karsten Tent with a link tent or a sleeping extension, for a wonderful night’s rest and even more space. A sleeping extension has a surface of six square metres and can accommodate 4 people. The extension comes with a partitioning wall which divides the sleeping space into two compartments. Each compartment has its own half-moon vent. The link tent is a smaller version of the larger tent and can be easily zipped to the tent with a tunnel section. This creates a new ‘bedroom’ or extra storage space, fully utilising the living space in the main tent.

Since the invention of the inflatable Karsten Tent in 1981, we haven’t moved an inch. In our workshop in Zwaag (North Holland) we use our decades of knowledge and experience to make these unique Karsten Tents by hand. With passion and attention to detail. All parts are cut to size down to the millimetre, then sewn and carefully put together. This makes Karsten Tents a top-quality Dutch product! Which is awarded several times by known institutions worldwide. It makes us proud, and keeps us going. For over 40 years now!

An in-hous workshop, to guarantee the best quality, personal service and bespoke products.
