Small Trees Campsite

Mi è piaciuto: The campsite was spacious and well kept, i camped nestled into the trees and it was so peaceful and such a great experience. The owners were great - they were very friendly and made sure i had everything i needed

Dal gestore: Thank you!

Mi è piaciuto: Great place to be in nature. Toilets and showers are OK, space to wash dishes and free coffee and tea in the morning. Expectations are very high for the next pitches. And kind farmers.

Mi è piaciuto: 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.

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

Mi è piaciuto: 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.

Non mi è piaciuto: 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.

Dal gestore: 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.

Mi è piaciuto: So lucky to have found this little site! We were visiting Pepper Pig World and it was perfect to return to … quiet and peaceful and lovely safe feeling for young children to enjoy the space and freedom. Very nice addition was the free tea and coffee that was supplied each morning.

Non mi è piaciuto: Basic facilities that did the job! No criticism at all.

Dal gestore: Thank you!

Mi è piaciuto: Peaceful location.
Large field and openness to pick a spot.
Friendly welcome.
Tea and coffee in the mornings.
Shower and toilets.

Overall fantastic place and I'd definitely come back.

Non mi è piaciuto: Constructive criticism only here...
Yes the toilets were a bit smelly but that's expected with chemical portable toilets. Maybe people should lower their expectations of toilets in what's effectively a field.
One of the showers was hit and miss with cycling through hot and cold but I get teething problems with it being newly installed. The showers could do with a little bit on the front to dry and change in. It was a bit awkward to dry and change within the cubicle but totally doable.

Dal gestore: Thanks so much Edd and thank you for your comments! We have plans to improve the toilets and definitely have some form of change area for the showers. We made them and didn’t think about that! Doh! Be great to see you next year. All the best.

Mi è piaciuto: Friendly owners and perfect quiet campsite which was great for us and our dog.

Dal gestore: Thanks Sarah!

Mi è piaciuto: Our favourite campsite yet, we can’t wait to come back next year! It’s beautiful, peaceful, spacious and very friendly hosts. Thank you!!

Dal gestore: Absolute pleasure. Hopefully see you next year!

Mi è piaciuto: Large flat field with mowed areas, well apart, separated by young tree areas. A pleasant environment.

Non mi è piaciuto: The facilities were not good. Cold water for sinks and washing up sink. The toilets were very smelly which pervaded the surrounding area. One functioning shower with hot water but so small the towel and any clothes would be against the shower curtain!

Dal gestore: Thank you for your review. I’m glad you liked the field! We are sorry we don’t have hot water in the taps, this is our home and temporary pop up site and very new so it’s something we hope we may have in the future. We are only a pop up of 3 weeks and building our facilities up each year. Unfortunately you left the morning the toilets were emptied and cleaned out, the only slot we could get for toilet waste removal that week due to the peak season.

Regarding the showers - both self built and we’ve been told they are quite large! They are new for this year and we’ve popped a shower tray behind the curtain so that guests are able to put their belongings there and keep them dry. Again, something we hope we can improve for next year.

Thanks so much for staying.
