 Stayed here over the Whitsun Bank Holiday weekend.
The site is perfect and so quiet with wildlife coming to visit.
Even though there are no facilities it was a perfect 'off grid' weekend.
Would certainly visit again and recommend this site for its peace and quiet

Denny Wood is our favourite 'Camping in the Forest' site!
It is in a great location for walking and cycling, with easy access to the New Forest trails, that are easy to follow thanks to numbered posts at junctions.
It was easy to find a quiet space to pitch. The 'pay only £3 for late departure' offer was helpful.

Stayed at Matley Wood as an overnight stop for part of a trip down to Dorset. Being a couple of days before the August Bank Holiday the site was very busy and as there are no designated pitches as such it was a little difficult to find a space without being on top of another unit. I did find a space after a little searching and was glad I'd got the levelling blocks in the camper as it was far from level!
This site doesn't have any toilets or showers etc on site but this didn't bother me as it was literally an overnighter as part of a longer road trip. The price was very reasonable and I believe reflects the level of facilities available. I would like to come back when it's not so busy to get a better spot to pitch, and take some walks or bike rides out into the surrounding New Forest area.
One point to note is that all of the customer service is done from the Denny Wood site down the road.

Even though this site was close to road it was so peaceful
You could pick where you wanted to park. Loads of walking to do and close to Lyndurst. But it was that nice we didn't even move from the campsite

Excellent site to visit you can either have peace and quiet or the site managers do a cheese and wine evening or similar first Saturday of each month the next event will be bring your own BBQ on 29th August which we will not miss and every Thursday its coffee morning where all campers are welcome
Its a fantastic site for wild life badgers deer and foxes come onto the site in the evening whilst you are sitting outside. There is some fabulous walks can walk to Lyndurst aabout 2 miles or Brockenhurst about 45 min walk
There is no facilities on this site so chemical toilet is essential

I spend most weekends at this site, its hard to fault it
There has been an ongoing problem with the water supply but with the site manager pressing the powers that be it seems finally to be solved
The manager organises coffee mornings fish and chip nights and many other gatherings to allow people to meet each other these are of course optional
The area is very quiet just the occasional motor bike and train noise to disturb the peace and tranquillity that this site has in shovel fulls
The only noise at night is from the owls
Wild deer foxes and badgers are to be seen most nights coming close to the units and are fairly used to the campers so they allow lights to be shone on them
This coupled with donkeys ponies and cows wandering free on the site makes for a real rustic feel
Informal camping at its best
Highly recommended

This was my first experience of a Camping In The Forest site. I stayed for two nights and had booked using a 33% discount special offer.
If you are looking for a clean, quiet, basic site set in beautiful woodland then this is the place for you. I was met and given my permit by a very friendly lady warden who pointed out a couple of good places to set up but there are no designated pitches and you can camp where you like.
A young couple arrived after 9. 00pm and pitched their tent without a toilet and were asked to move on the following morning so don't try to camp without one!
The only negative for me was the constant traffic noise as the site is close to the busy B road. However, this was offset by ponies wandering around and doing their own thing and the lack of screaming kids. I did have big plans for walking and cycling but decided to lay down my pick nick blanket and soak up the peaceful vibe instead.
I enjoyed my stay but think it would be a bit expensive at full price for what's provided.

On the positive side this site is pretty & rural and in a nice location. However it is a very basic site with no hookups, loos or showers. Luckily we had onboard toilet etc. But this is not ideal with kids & lack of shower facilities meant that we only stayed a couple of nights.
There is a chemical waste disposal point but it was a bit of a hike across the site from where we were.
It is a nice site but lack of facilities means that it is only really suitable for an over night stay, if there was a bit of investment in better facilities it would be super. Pricey though for what is on offer.

This is the first camp site that we have ever stopped at, so bear in mind we have nothing to compare it with.
However, we stopped at Matley Wood with our two border collies. We chose a pitch looking straight out onto the forest which the two dogs loved.
The site is quiet and clean. The facilities ( water and disposal site only )were well maintained. The reception is up at Denny Wood site ( about 1.5 miles up the road ).
Lyndhurst is about 2. 5 miles away and has various restaurants and takeaways. The only drawback that we found was that the gate to the site closed at 10. 30pm. It would have been nice to have a couple of drinks after our meal but we would not have been back until 11pm
We will definitely be back hopefully when it doesn't rain nonstop!

Lovely little site. We decided to give this site a try after a long love affair with the New Forest. We normally stay at the Longbeech site but fancied a change and we wasn't disappointed.
Its very quiet although you can hear a busy road and trains going past but still peaceful all the same. Nice and clean and very basic with only your drinking water tap and the elson point to empty your chemical toilet down.
You must have a chemical toilet as there are no toilet facilities on site but if you are a regular at the New Forest you will be used to this anyway.
The man in charge of the site was very friendly and helpful and will always stop and have a chat whilst walking with his two dalmatians
I would recommend this site to anyone looking for peace and quiet. Its quite small with 70 pitches, it wasn't very busy while we were there but can imagine it might feel a bit crowded when full up.
Dogs are welcome at this site. Our dog loved every minute of it and we all enjoyed a cycle ride together at the back of the site on one of the cycle paths that run through the forest. You can also see the lovely animals just walking through the forest.
The site is about a mile away from local village (Lyndhurst) where there is a supermarket with a cashpoint and little souvenir shops and there is a camping shop there too for anything you have forgotten to pack. We had a lovely stay and fully intend to go back.
