Rose Tree Campsite

We have just spent a wonderful 4 nights at Rose Tree Campsite. The site is peaceful and relaxing and also very friendly. We were met by the Site Warden, Dave a lovely helpful man who showed us to our pitch and once we had settled in brought the necessary paperwork and take away menus! The facilities are basic but more than adequate and beautifully clean. The site is close to Sand Bay beach which is beautiful and very quiet. Weston-super-Mare is about 10 mins drive from the site and is a nice seaside town. The site is well situated for many days out with Bath, Wells, Cheddar and far too many other places to mention within an hours drive. We choose this site as we wanted to visit Cheddar Gorge, it was a fantastic day out. We found so many other things we would like to do in the area we just can’t wait to go back! Thank you Dave and Donna for such a great stay and a fantastic campsite that is a credit to all your hard work.

Just got back this afternoon from Rose Tree Campsite where my friend and i pitched tents for three nights. What a lovely stay! For fear of everyone knowing about this hidden gem, we really must give it the rave review it deserves. Dave and Donna are such nice people and made us feel incredibly welcome, without being pushy. We chose this campsite because it is over 30s and we wanted peace and quiet, which was exactly what we got. The facilities are modest, but extremely clean and well maintained, neither of us ever had to wait for a free shower or wc. The site is ideally located for touring the area and is very close to Weston, Bristol, Bath, Somerset and the list goes on. The local beach, Sand Bay is beautiful, golden sand for miles and not a soul to be seen. I recommend you go to Rose Tree, but only if you intend to keep the peace and maintain the standards the site upholds. Donna & Dave, we’ll be calling in spring next year to book up our stay for 2012!

We had a great night at rose tree campsite. Lovely site very clean and quiet. Pub nearby and nice village. Would stay again if down that area again. We was made very welcome. Very dog friendly! You must try!!!

spent 3 days at rose tree campsite, our 2nd visit, and although some things had changed it was still a relaxing peaceful break, clean and tidy campsite, great location, brilliant weather and dave and donna are friendly and helpful. on arrival i had added the outstanding balance up wrong which dave put me right by telling me this and refunded me back what i would have over paid, which impressed me straight away on their honesty, although we had only been once before they still recognised us, probably because of our dog a 10 stone bullmastiff who loves it there. thanks and see you next year. 1/8/11-4/8/11.

We just arrived home after nearly a week at Rose Tree. We were looking for an adults campsite, that was quiet and friendly, I kept being drawn to this site, even after looking all over the place!! The reviews are good, and it sounded just like the sort of site we were after. I only phoned up the day before, but the lovely friendly voice on the other end of the line assured us that we could have a pitch, and that they would see us the next day. When we arrived, Dave, the site warden was near the gate. He showed us where to park up and set up our tent, and said he’d be back later to book us in. He came round a while later, and had a chat, booked us in and showed us where everything was. He’s a very friendly chap, who lives on the site. He’s usually around somewhere if you need him, very available, but also very unobtrusive too. We found the facilities, although quite basic, to be very clean, and well organised. The grass is kept short, with no cuttings to get everywhere. The site is secure-a combination lock on the gate keeps out unwanted visitors, which somehow makes you feel that bit safer. The bit of the park we were on (in a tent) was slightly sloping, but we got around that, and it didn’t bother us too much. The site fronts onto quite a busy road during the day, but it quietens considerably at night, so that’s not a problem. Previous comments have mentioned aircraft overhead, again, we didn’t find it was that much of an intrusion, and after a while failed to even notice them. There’s perhaps three or four a day, if that, and even then it’s not that loud. They didn’t disturb us, and I am normally the first to notice any noise!! Just a short drive from the beach at Sand Bay….a delightful little road to nowhere along the front-not busy, not commercial, just a road on the waterfront. It’s not far into Weston Super Mare though, for all the seaside stuff, and a large retail park, supermarkets, and the chippy (nice!) are just up the road too.
All in all we had a lovely stay at Rose Tree and will be back again. It’s a lovely, non commercial site – great if you want no annoying music, children, big treks to the loo, loads of charges for everything (showers are free) and if you want a lovely peaceful getaway
Thank you Dave!

spent a lovley long weekend at rose tree was made very welcome the site is the cleanest we have ever stayed in so thahkyou to dave and his wife

We came to Rose Tree for T4 on the beach, (which as three 30-somethings is questionable in itself!) but all I can say is we had an amazing time.

I have never in my life camped, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The toilet & shower facilities are pristine, the campsite hosts are lovely, and could not do enough to help.

Our only apprehension was that we had read reviews that said ‘do not come here if you want to make merry’. I think this is a relative term, as that was our exact intention! We wanted to have a few drinks & reminisce (we do not see each other often), which means we can get a bit excitable…
‘You remember the time when’ / ‘No, no that’s not how it happened!’
However it was fabulous. As long as you are respectful this is not an issue. Certainly, as is polite, if you are asked to keep the noise down, do.
The site is not far (by car)to a Sainsbury’s (used for snacks & drinks),
TK Maxx (for anything you’ve forgotten) & McDonalds (cups of tea in the morning!) There are pubs in walking distance that serve great food but the taxis are relatively inexpensive.

Needless to say, I will be using this camp site again, and cannot wait!!!

We had a great weekend at Rose Tree Campsite and we were extremely lucky with the gorgeous weather. What a tranquil atmosphere and great people. Thanks, see you soon !

I live at the coast in North Yorkshire and needed a brief stopover with my dog whilst visiting family in South Wales and North Somerset. Camping is the easy option for me for both cost and convenience, with having a dog, plus the fact I just love it! I’ve been camping or caravanning since I was a child, in a trailer tent with my husband and young family, as a single parent in a frame tent with teenagers and now as a mature lady on my own in a smaller tent I have ventured onto the continent too. You can imagine I’ve seen all sorts of campsites over the years and Rose Tree is up amongst the best, but it is not for everyone.

If modern facilities, shops and entertainment is what you want this is not for you. (Though the nearest shop is within walking distance.) If you are comprehensive in what you arrive with, relish peace and quiet, and appreciate the friendliest and most helpful of welcomes you will find it here. I booked by phone at the last minute and expected to arrive about 5-6pm. In the event I had to phone ahead to say I was delayed. Donna was reassuring and helpful on the phone, told me not to worry I could arrive up to 11pm and told me where to find Dave, the site warden on arrival. I arrived about 8pm and it was nearly dark but Dave saw my headlights and came to meet me. I had booked a pitch without electricity out of habit as I’ve never bothered with it and don’t have a hook up lead. On this occasion though, I thought it might be a good idea and had thought to pack a light etc, so asked Dave if I could upgrade, but with no chance to buy a lead would he have one he could hire me? He was brill, loaned me a hookup lead at no charge, advised me what lead to buy so I could get the right thing for the future, told me where to find the dog excercise area, came back whilst I was pitching my gear to see how I was coping in the dark and told me to come and find him if I needed anything.

The facilities are dated, even old-fashioned, but this is an old-fashioned site – in the nicest possible way – with old-fashioned values of service, friendliness and behaviour standards. The facilities are perfectly adequate, very clean, with no extra charge for hot showers, hand soap and loo roll provided and not too far from any of the pitches. To me there are more important things than modern – and this site has them, together with good directions, being easy to find and in a lovely setting. At present it is for over 25′s only. Dave mentioned it might be changed to over 30′s only. I’m not sure if he was joking but thankfully I’m old enough to still be allowed in!

Thanks Donna and Dave for a really lovely site. I just wish I’d had more time to explore the area and get on the beach with the dog. I’ll be back to do just that!

If you want peace and quiet and somewhere where you can truly relax and chill out, then Rose Tree is the place for you. We have just had 8 wonderful days, and most certainly will be going back. We received a very warm welcome from both Donna and Site Warden Dave. During the day we visited Weston (Dave played golf twice),the Clark’s Shopping Village and enjoyed walks with our dog along the beach and Headland at Sandbay (where you can get a Cream Tea from Grandma’s Cafe). The fish n chips at Sandbay were the best I have had in a long time, and the Carvery at the Hotel was excellent value. Altogether a brilliant holiday, we just wish we had planned to stay longer.

Well what can i say…….Donna and Dave are lovely and so is Rose Tree Site, I didnt want to come home. We had a 3 night stay and although the weather wasnt the best the friendly faces and the helpfulness of Donna and Dave certainly made up for it. The site is lovely and clean as are the facilities(basic, but all that I needed) Would like to say a big Thank You and we will certainly be seeing you again very soon.

The place was easy to find (for us M3/M4/M5!). It was nice to find a ‘childfree zone’, and even at the height of the season wasn’t overly busy. The facilities were fairly basic (the shower was better than at home!) and most other visitors were happy to just ‘pass the time of day’, without being in your face.
If you are looking for ‘onsite entertainment’ and a ‘child friendly’ site or ‘luxurious facilities’ this isn’t for you. If you want to chill out in an ‘adult’ emvironment, within a couple of miles of beaches and tourist attractions and within walking distance of nice friendly pubs and shops then give this a go. We’ll definately consider going back again.

We had a lovely stay at Rose Tree Park.
It was as good as it looks on the website – if not better. For us the real plus was the quiet and calm of the place. There was no late night noise and no groups coming back late at night in a drunken state. Also there were no badly behaved children being shouted at or completely ignored by their parents.
Although lots of those there had dogs they were well controlled and no trouble. As dog owners ourselves it was good to find that the nearest beach (Sand Bay) is dog friendly, as is the local pub (The Old Manor – 5 minutes walk away) and we were able to take the dogs and eat outside there. The pub food was also good and reasonably priced. There was plenty of room, the amenities were good, the site was easy to find, following the directions on here, and we were made very welcome. We will certainly be considering going again.

We had a superb week here in spite of arriving in the pouring rain ,we were made very welcome. The park is very well maintained the grass clippings were collected by Dave and his mower, which is great as you dont end up with a tent full of grass.The beach nearby is dog friendly as is the park. The toilets and showers were lovely and clean a real credit to Donna. Would definately stay again.

Donna/Dave thanks both made our stay brill ,What a lovely site very clean very well kept, Will be back soon and will recommend Rose Tree to every one. Hope the “CAMP” WARDEN Has a nice Birthday

We have just come back from Rose Tree after a 10 night stay in our Caravan and what a lovely site to stay in , Donna who run’s it was really nice , helpful and great to get on with , we thought the site was run really nice and was very clean and tidy . The site is not far from the M5 ( about a 10 minute drive ) so this was really good for us to see more of lovely Somerset , anyway getting back to the site , the toilets were nice and clean , everyone was friendly , really quite at night and good security with the coded lock on gate . The beach is just over a mile away and even quicker in your car, but yes we will be back next year, and many years to come. Good on you and keep up the good work

We are new to caravaning and this was only the third site we have used – but by far the best! Although the amenities were basic, they were spotless and as the site is small, we never had to queue! What we liked most about the site was how friendly and helpful Donna and her site warden, Dave, were. They helped us get our caravan into place, making certain it was level and secure. They had the time to stop and chat to us and make sure we were OK and happy with our stay and giving advice on the area. There is lots to do around the area and the cycling is great, although challenging due to the hills!!

We are hoping to pitch our caravan there for a few months next year, so we will definitely be back!!

Stayed 8 nights should have been 9 but weather forecast was wet for the last day Donna & Dave thank you we had a great time the site does you credit and so peaceful we hope to be back in the future !!!

This is a fantastic,friendly welcoming and extremely good value for money site,
being adults only gave us a chance to relax in peaceful surroundings .The site was very clean and although a small site all the facilities were spotless and well maintained. Its a great place to walk from and Donna who runs it was full of information as to which direction to go ,we walked to Weston Super Mare through the woods. There is a fantastic pub just up the road serving good food, we even had entertainment on the Friday evening, a local convenience store a bit further on ,and a Sainsburies about a mile and a half away .We would definitely recommend this site to anyone who wants a stress free and relaxing break

Bryan + Jean It was jeans birthday the 5th July, so we were all set for a good time, The first person we met was Donna what a lovely helpful lady she is and what she doesn’t know about setting up a caravan and leveling it, isn’t worth knowing, Donna told us it mite be a bit noisy that weekend because the T4 festival was on, but that wasn’t going to worry us, The weather was fantastic, what peaceful and beautiful place to relax and unwind. We will definitely be going back next year for more of the same. Hope we can still get a pitch after all the good reviews that we have read. Thank You so much for looking after us while we were there. Bryan + Jean

Brya + Jean. We had a ball lots of beer + cider, sunny days and star filled skys. A peacefull perfect holiday. keep up the good work donna. See you soon. this is jean+ her friend Donna.who camefrom liverpool as surprise for jeans birthday.

Brilliant…cant wait to return….neither can the Great Danes!!……my perfect getaway retreat……see you soon Donna…..and Dave!

lovely, quiet, clean, tidy and friendly. local pub within walking distance, bus stop also within walking distance. everything you want for a lovely peaceful camping holiday. will definately go back.

We have found our perfect getaway retreat and its taken us years!!……We had 4 nights here and it wasnt enough. Everything we ever wanted and needed in a campsite is right here…..peaceful, small site, very clean and tidy shower and toilet block, very friendly fellow campers, very quiet at night and Donna is one of the most friendliest campsite owners we have seen…always has a smile. As does Dave the on-site warden…..who always seemed to be there to open the gate!! Next time we visit I shall pre-book one of the treatments from the Salon in Donna’s cottage….just to add to my perfect getaway retreat!… Cant wait to return…..many thanks Donna and Dave for a great time, we shall be back!

I have now stayed at rose tree 4 on 4 seperate occasions. I am always treated really well. The site its self is in such a beautiful peaceful location. All you can here is birdsong. Donna is more than just a fab host she is a pleasure to be around. The facilities are always clean and working. Just the little touch like a tea towel by the washing up area is such a bonus if you have rushed away and forgot to pack. i would recomend anyone to stay at rose tree i know you would love it and return again. keep up the good work

Rose Tree is a little piece of paradise in a beautiful area. We knew the moment we arrived that we had picked the right site. Rose Tree itself is only 10 minutes off the M5 but it is so quiet and peaceful it seems worlds away.
We were greeted by Donna who introduced us to Dave the site manager. He showed us to the tent field, which only had about 3 other tents in it, and told us we could pick our own pitch. We chose a spot opposite the entrance under the trees. There are no markers and during the 5 days we were there we had most of that side of the field to ourselves.
The facilities are basic but spotless, in fact when we were there we saw Donna scrubbing the boards from the shower floors out on the grass. We went out and when we got back she was still busy cleaning. It showed as even thought the toilets and showers are in an outbuilding there wasn’t so much as a spider in them. There are 2 ladies and 2 gents loos and one shower each. We didn’t have to queue once during the time we were there. Plenty of hot water for the showers and lovely soap in the loos which was an unexpected touch. There is a washing up sink next to the showers, the hot water runs on 10p coins and you get ample hot water for this.
There is a large Sainsburys within a 5 minute drive. We had fish and chips from the takeaway near the beach one night which were good and cooked while we waited. There seemed to be a few pubs nearby, we walked to the Manor which took about 10 minutes. Had a great meal and the prices were very reasonable. Just take care on the road as it does get narrow towards the site.
The road through the woods to Weston-Super-Mare has to be be one of the prettiest in the country, with the Bristol channel on one side and trees on the other, and it’s different every time due to the huge tides there.
Sitting outside the tent all you can hear is birdsong and the occasional horse, it was hard to imagine that we were only just outside the town.
We found Weston-Super-Mare a lovely place and there seems to be an awful lot being done to make it better. It’s a real old fashioned seaside place and really is worth a days visit. We look forward to going back next year when the work has finished so that we can see it complete. The tides are amazing as they sea goes out further than you can see which is quite a sight. We also drove into Bristol and walked cross the Clifton Suspension Bridge, wow, it’s high!
We only stayed 5 days before moving down to Cornwall where we stayed on an award winning site with all mod cons. It was lovely but not a patch on Rose Tree which we missed as soon as we left. Can’t wait to return and see some more of this lovely area.
If you want a tranquil campsite in a beautiful place it has to be Rose Tree.

We had a marvellous ten day stay to Rose Tree Farm and thoroughly enjoyed every minute ,an excellent site ideal for relaxing or touring round, we totally endorse all the other reports and Donna works so hard for everyones benefit. Thankyou so much Donna

Stayed 2 nights last weekend. Loved everything about it. Donna is fab and her site is a credit to her. Definatly be going back and highly recommended.

This was our first time camping and decided to just try everything out for a couple of nights. Stayed at Rose Tree Touring and we couldnt have been more impressed with everything. It was perfect and we had a wonderful relaxing few days, the most chilled out we have been in years.
The site is small but has absolutly everything you need – spotless facilities and its set out beautifully. We stayed in the tent field and had a lovely pitch opposite the entrance. In this field was the access for the dog walk area which was perfect as we had ours with us. Dogs to be kept on leads, leashes around the site but ok off in the exercise area. This was ideal for us and as it should be.
Donna who runs the site was lovely and very helpful/welcoming. We felt totally at ease with her and would like to thank her again for a great time.
We will definatly be going back soon. Think we are hooked on this camping lark now!!!!!

We had a wondeful time, Donna was very welcoming.The site is in a lovely area, an easy walk to the beach and local shop,and further on Grandmas tea rooms- home made scones! and in the other direction the pub and fish and chip shop.Up the hill is a really good wine bar & restaurant-the new Castle where we had a fantastic meal. the area is great for bike riding and the site is extremelt clean , tidy , friendly and spacious.
Thanks for a great weekend

We had a superb 8 nights stay at Rose Tree Park.
Admittedly, the weather was fantastic, but this is a great place to stay at any time.
Beautifully tranquil and adults only!!
Toilets are spotless, and Donna is lovely.
We bused it into Weston most days (bus stop at top of hill, turn left from site)
The Manor pub is just past the bus stop, and is absolutely brilliant. The drinks are cheapest we found anywhere (Wetherspoon type prices- £2-35 a pint of Fosters), and they’re still doing two meals for a fiver!
The only drawback is the short walk on the road (250ish yards) from the site to where the pavement starts at the top of the hill, the road’s very narrow at this point, and there’s NOT room for two cars and walkers arriving at the same time. Keep to the campsite side of the road both ways, as it is a continuous RH bend from the site so you’re far more visible to oncoming cars from either direction. To find the site, take junction 21 on the M5 and follow signs for Kewstoke. The road becomes Queens way, and at the top of the hill, where the pavement runs out, the site is on the right about 250 yards further on.
We are definitely going back to Rose Tree, maybe this year.

Made a last minute decision to go to camping. Found this site on search engine and just turned up. It was a stunning site. Adults only so lovely and quiet. Well kept surroundings with excellent toilet facilities. 10 minute walk to the pub or 10 minute car journey into Weston. I highly recommend this site. We will definately be returning.

this is the second time we have camped at rose tree cottage, we recommend this camp site as its 25years and over it is a basic site but the toilets and showers are always clean. (although we dont have a dog)dogs are welcome and their is a special walking field for them. sand bay is near. about a mile down the road is a pub called the manor inn which serves good food at a reasonable price. the site is run by donna who always has time to talk to you, alan takes good care of the site and is always around to lend you a hand. hope to go to the site again later in the year. it is a very relaxing atmosphere.

We absolutely loved this site!! Donna Diamond is a wonderful lady, so kind and atttentive to her campers, nothing is too much trouble. Facilites basic but very clean, couldnt be faulted. Peacefull, we loved it, generous pitches, nice pub 5 minutes up the road for a cheap meal and drink.
Certainly will visit again.
See you soon Donna, Best Regards

Rose Tree is just a fabulous site – tranquil, beautiful surroundings, easily accessible and small. As others have commented, wc/shower facilities offer the basic with no frills, (take your own hair dryer) – but absolutely immaculate. Rubbish bins for explicit recycling, too.
Owner Donna is funny, welcoming and brimming with local history and general information, and warden Alan, couldn’t do enough to help – with hilarious music hall commentary!
Rose Tree is a ‘Five go Adventuring’ sort of a campsite, not to be missed!
Thank you and we’ll see you in the autumn.

Just stayed here for two nights and thought it was great value for money. Though the facilities are limited they are kept clean and the staff were very helpful. Site security was very good. The pub was within 10mins walk and had a brilliant meal, A good stroll down to the beach but you have to be very vigilant of the cars as it was fairly busy, don’t attempt after dusk ! We will certainly go here again. Price will vary, but starts from £10 per night w/o car, and note ex cars and electric hook ups are at an extra cost.

This is a small site with basic facilities. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Toilets (4) and showers (2) are clean, free and well maintained. Although rural there are ample amenities close by in Kewstoke village. Within walking distance of Sand Bay where there is a frequent bus service into Weston-Super-Mare. Excellent value for money at £12 per night (£3 extra for electric hook up). Would highly recommend this site as a base for exploring the area. Ideal site for couples.

I just had to write to say what a great time we had at Rose Tree.
We arrived here to stay for one week and as we hadn’t done any camping on ‘real’ campsites [only YHA ones] we were really surprised.
A friendly welcome From Donna the owner and Alan and a really nice, well kept site was introduced to us. Everything we wanted [except the weather] was fine. The toilets were very clean and in truth the electric shower had more pressure that one at home. A joy to use.
The site wasn’t to busy so we had a really lovely pitch in the corner of the field. Our little dog Alfie [Jack Russell] thought it was fantastic.
A lovely quite holiday really, two or three pubs nearby, two meals for one etc, lovely beach and fine walks. Local shops have everything and this site is just off the motorway.

Didn’t use hook-ups but plenty around.

Highly recommended and we are going back.

I visited this campsite last year and again earlier this year, as usual there was a friendly welcome and atmosphere. Although the facilities are basic they are kept clean and in good working order.
Whilst the park is situated in a sloping field there are a number of flat pitches and shaded areas and most pitches have electric hook-ups. The spacing between units is generous in comparison to other sites I have visited and there is a genuine feeling of being in the open countryside.
The park is easily accessed from junction 21 off the M5, but you need to take care driving down the approach lane as the site entrance is located on a blind left handed bend. Although there are a number of amenities close to hand, others require a short car journey to reach. Overall the park offers value for money and a stress free quiet break. I will definitely be returning for another visit during the season.

I stayed on this site for 5 months while working in the area. I found it to be well run and very peaceful. Lovely location, close to amenities of Weston Super Mare and Worle but far enough out to be very peaceful.
There was a combination of tents and tourers and plenty of hook ups available. Had some lovely walks on the beach at Sand Bay. There is a good pub just up the road where food is reasonably priced and takeaways are available locally in Worle.
The owner is very friendly and approachable and was very helpful in those unexpected crisis moments – running out of gas etc! I do not have a dog but I know the site welcomes dogs, and there is an exercise area for them. There seemed to be quite a few regular visitors so I think I am not the only one who has every intention of going back!

If you want a nice quiet break in some lovely countryside amongst friendly people and at a very reasonable nightly rate, I can highly recommend this site!

Visited the site after having stayed there about 8 years ago. Still as pleasant as ever. Very friendly reception and even after I tripped the hook up breaker the chap was ready to come and sort it out.
Toilet and shower blocks are small and basic but kept spotlessly clean and the showers easy to use.
The site itself is small and off the main road but convenient to the M5 Junction 21; take care though if towing a caravan as Norton Lane is narrow in places.
Take your bikes if you can as there are some nice rides locally – a visit to Woodspring’s Priory is worth the trip.
Their is a little local store in Kewstoke and a retail park including Sainsburys a short ride away (with the cheapest petrol and diesel in the area). Weston super mare is about 4 miles away and an open top bus goes there from the sea front at frequent intervals all day.
