Neat little bed needed around camp, perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
compact
'neat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'little bed needed around camp perhaps' is the wordplay.
'little bed' becomes 'cot' (child's bed).
'needed around' indicates putting letters inside.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'camp' anagrammed gives 'mpac'.
'cot' enclosing 'mpac' is 'COMPACT'.
(Other definitions for compact that I've seen before include "cosmetics case" , "Compress; agreement" , "bargain" , "Tightly-knit, agreement" , "Dense; powder case" .)
