About Matley Wood Campsite
Surrounded by ferns, open grasslands and ancient trees, this peaceful, family friendly site allows guests to immerse themselves in the outdoors. Set in a central New Forest location, there is no better spot for walking, cycling and wildlife watching. Smaller than many other sites in the area, there are just 40 non electric grass pitches onsite. Suitable for tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans, RVs and motorhomes, each measures 9m x 9m and allows up to six guests. You will also be able to pick your own spot amongst the trees as pitches are unallocated. There are also pitches available for seasonal use. If you want to enjoy a spot of al fresco cooking, you are welcome to bring your own charcoal or gas BBQ along, you will just need to ensure it is raised from the ground. Campfires, fire pits and disposable BBQs are prohibited. Dogs are also welcome onsite, with up to three four-legged friends permitted per pitch. Check in is at neighbouring site Denny Wood. Please note, all guests must have access to their own chemical toilet as there are no toilets and showers onsite.
Matley Wood Campsite is open from 20/05 to 29/09.
Please note, the site offers no toilet or shower facilities so your own chemical toilet is required.
The village of Lyndhurst can also be found a five minute drive away with a Co-op, The Fox and Hounds pub, plus other other eateries and shops.
