Small Trees Campsite

Liked Was there at the end of the season and it was quiet so plenty of choice of pitches. The owner was very welcoming and there was free hot drinks available in the morning. The showers and the toilet block were basic but kept clean and warm.

From the manager: Thanks so much!

Liked The shower was really great!

Disliked Someone in the neighborhood put really loud music at midnight for like an hour and half! We just can’t sleep. The next day the owner told me that it must be a party or a wedding. I can’t recommend you this campsite because if there was a party when we went here it must be another one when you will stay.
The toilet was also really dirty. One of them was completely clogged

From the manager: Hi Laurie, thanks for staying! sorry there was a party on for the neighbours this is completely out of our control and a little unfair to blame our campsite for this. I responded to your message at 2am and listened for the music and it was silent.
The toilets are cleaned 10 times a day, unfortunately toilets are used after my regular cleaning visits so we have to rely on the cleanliness of other campers not to leave a mess. Also, this was a night of torrential rain so the toilets were understandably being trodden with mud.
We’re pleased you liked the showers, we’ve worked hard to bring decent facilities to our campsite and welcome any suggestions for improvement.

Liked Lovely site. Friendly owners, flat pitches, quiet neighbours, nice little play area/ tree swing, lovely to have sheep in the adjoining field, close to amenities and tea/coffee available in the morning- fab!

Disliked Shower ran hot-cold-extreamly hot, so had to time rinsing carefully- not a massive problem really.

From the manager: Thanks so much! Sorry the water was doing that, we didn’t realise and no one told us! We will check this over for next year. Thanks so much for staying.

Liked Very quiet site with small fruit trees dotted all around. Spacious pitches with small play area for children.
Toilet block with two large showers spotlessly clean and chemical toilets and wash basins.
Washing up area with two large double sinks.
Would definitely return next year. Friendly helpful owner. No WiFi signal so be aware.

Disliked No chemical waste disposal area. But understand why there's not as it's only open for 2.5 weeks a year and a pop up site.
Would have liked a phone charging point.

From the manager: Thank you!

Liked Lovely little spot, hot showers and lovely toilet facilities, clearly a labour of love. Plenty of room and so had great privacy. Hosts were so considerate and provided teas and coffee free in the morning along fairly priced necessities such as fires and marshmallows! Perfect for a get away, and young adult friendly!

Disliked No criticism, however do note to get to local attractions or local areas (pubs, shops etc) you will need to drive as it’s not walkable!

From the manager: Thank you! The walk to romsey takes 40 mins through Squabb Wood so is walkable but not down the main road. I’ve walked it a few times with my children. There is also a bus stop just up from our entrance however local shops are in the main village. Thanks so much for staying and for your lovely comments.

Liked Great hosts, all facilitaties very clean at all times. Great hot showers with good space.

Nice to chose your pitch and loads of space to choose from. My son loved playing on the swing it was a great place for kids to make friends.

Great location 10 minutes to Paultons.

Liked • The toilets and shower are spotless and the owner cleaned regularly throughout our stay. Shower was hot! A mirror in the shower would be useful.
• The size of the space means you can pitch up without feeling crowded
• Kids loved the tire swing!
• Free coffee and tea in the morning (although I was too late getting a coffee so be quick!)
• I was able to buy homemade Damson jam which is so yummy.
• The owner was so lovely. She was working hard throughout our stay to clean.
•Perfect if you are going to Paultons Park or Harold Hillier Gardens.
•Stars, stars and more stars!

Disliked • The toilets do have a strong smell due to the chemical toilets. BUT we went over a bank hol when it was very hot and very busy. The owner was trying her best to use air fresheners etc but it's really difficult. I could manage with it and many people did but just a heads up if that kind of thing is an issue for you.
• Queues at the washing station because the tap to fill up people's tanks would shut off the other taps so that caused some confusion and a bit of a delay. This water is cold. Again not an issue for us but some other campers aren't so patient.
• No internet signal and no WiFi (again good for us but not for all)

From the manager: Thanks so much for your review and lovely comments. It was lovely having you stay.

The water in the sink taps was being affected by refilling the shower tanks for the morning shower, it was unfortunate timing you were trying to wash up while we did this. we will make sure we fill these at a more convenient time.

Toilets are always a struggle with heat and a busy weekend but we learn every year and hope to finally understand the system next year!

Pleased you loved the jam!

Liked A quiet and rural field site. Loved that there are only 30 units allowed and you had freedom to pitch wherever you wanted. Basic toilet and shower facilities and water available. Lovely touch offering free tea and coffee in the morning. Tiny camp stall selling cans of drink too. Really cute. Would stay again.

Disliked Although toilets were clean and flushable they did smell pretty bad but guessing as the site is only open in August they are just temporary type loos. Shower was clean and well set up but again pretty al fresco.

From the manager: Thanks for the great review! Yes, just temporary toilets so emptied every few days over the 2.5 weeks. Unfortunately over bank holidays we can’t get them emptied until the Tuesday and the heat didn’t help. Every year we learn a little bit more!

Liked Hosts were LOVELY.
Peaceful - lots of space. Flat.
Showers were clean and hot.
Pizza night was also great touch. As was the free tea/coffee.

Disliked Toilets are a little cramped - but means you get friendly with other campers chatting as you go by.
