  • Spacious pop-up site five minutes' drive from Romsey
  • New Forest and Peppa Pig World within 10 minutes' drive
  • Dog-friendly pitches with no artificial light for great stargazing
Small Trees Campsite is a spacious pop-up site in the Hampshire countryside, about five minutes’ drive from Romsey. The large camping field here is surrounded by a variety of trees, and you can choose to pitch in an open space or a more sheltered spot. Families and dogs are welcome, as well as solo travellers, and dog can be walked nearby on Canada Common. Life on site is all very peaceful – you may well spot kites and buzzards circling overhead, and can finish your day warming up by a firepit, which you can hire on site (on a first come, first served basis); wood is also available to buy. On selected evenings you’ll also be able to buy wood-fired pizzas for an easy evening meal as the sun sets. A water supply and separate male and female toilets are available on site, along with hot showers, but please note that there’s absolutely no artificial light here so you’ll need a torch to find your way around after dark. The trade-off, of course, is that the lack of light pollution often leads to some stunning stargazing on site. As for getting out and about, you can cycle over to the New Forest in about half an hour, or hail a bus from the stop a short walk away for services to Salisbury, Romsey or Peppa Pig World.

What customers say

This family-run campsite offers spacious pitches amongst trees, with many guests praising the friendly hosts and peaceful atmosphere. Complimentary morning tea and coffee are a popular touch. Facilities include toilets and showers, though some visitors noted them as basic, compact, or occasionally smelly. The site is considered a good base for exploring the New Forest and Southampton, with an on-site pizza van and fire pits for hire adding to the appeal.

The Field non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Rocked up. Kid loved the swing. Perfect little base for what we needed. Quiet and peaceful. Amenities were all pretty decent and world away from what I remember as a kid and the freezing cement boxes. The tea in the morning was a god send.
Happily go back. Thanks for the stay.

From the manager: Such a lovely review. Thanks so much for staying and glad you loved the swing!

The Field non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Showers and toilets were nice, as well as surrounding area.

6 minute drive from romsey but you couldn’t tell.

Disliked Entrance signs are a bit small.

From the manager: Thanks for a great review! Sorry the signs are small, we keep them on the smaller side so that our little campsite isn’t obvious to unwanted visitors. Hopefully google maps brings you to the correct location.

The Field non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked We had 1 night stay at Small Trees after touring Devon and Dorset. We picked the site as it looked lovely and wild, also near to Southampton Docks to pick family up the next morning- an easy drive.
Telephoning the owner a couple of times she was lovely very friendly.
Pitching where you like we couldn’t decide as a huge field. We packed everything away so couldn’t have the lovely gesture of free tea and coffee.
The only down side is the toilets, they are very compact - another lady came in when I was washing- it was very cramped. The chemical smell does permeate - I have used other chemical toilets that don’t smell as strong.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much Shelley. Working on the toilets, haven’t quite mastered the product to water ratio! Thanks so much for staying.

Would come again.

Mark R.

The Field non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Welcoming family and farm atmosphere.
The camp field has clusters of small trees, surrounded by fields with sheep and large oaks. Good site with mixture of wildflower areas and mown mostly level pitches.
Good washing up sink although a bit high.
Free coffee and tea.
Firepits for hire.

Disliked The toilets are a bit too small and terrible smell from the septic treatment system. Toilet paper is too high for young children to reach.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review Mark! So pleased you liked it. Good point about the toilet roll location. Will see if we can sort that when we do them up. The chemical smell is a difficult one to manage and every year we’re learning! Thanks for staying.
