Camping Travel Store, a retailer based in Melbourn, has been recognized with three national industry awards in the 2025 Tent Owner Satisfaction Survey conducted by The Camping & Caravanning Club.
The company received accolades for Best Premium Tent (over £1,000), Best Inflatable Tent, and Best Traditional Poled Tent for its exclusive Karsten Tent range.
The recognition marks the ninth consecutive year that the company has been acknowledged for its contributions to the camping sector, according to a report by the Royston Crow.
James King, managing partner at Camping Travel Store, highlighted the significance of the awards, stating:
“Winning these three prestigious awards in such a competitive market is truly an honor. What makes this achievement even more special is that the awards are based entirely on customer feedback.”
For businesses in the outdoor hospitality industry, the continued success of the Karsten Tent range underscores the demand for high-quality, durable, and well-designed tent solutions.
As the market for premium camping accommodations continues to evolve, retailers and campground operators may benefit from understanding the factors that contribute to strong consumer satisfaction.
King emphasized the company’s commitment to both product quality and customer service, noting, “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and we are incredibly proud that they value not only the superior quality of Karsten Tents but also our commitment to exceptional customer service.”
With increasing consumer expectations for reliability and comfort in outdoor accommodations, businesses looking to invest in premium tent offerings may find value in products that emphasize longevity and ease of use.
Camping Travel Store has been the UK’s official representative of Dutch tent manufacturer Karsten Tenten for the past 15 years.
The company operates a dedicated showroom in Melbourn, providing customers with an opportunity to explore a permanent indoor display of Karsten Tent models. For outdoor hospitality professionals, the ongoing success of Karsten Tents in customer satisfaction surveys suggests that high-end tent options may present opportunities for differentiation in the competitive camping and glamping market.
