  At the top of the hill but sheltered a bit by the trees, but still gets lashed by the wind and rain during south-westerleys and lots of standing water in winter. Some nice old oaks in neighbouring Matley wood, but they've been dropping a lot of branches recently even during quiet spells in summer, so don't stand around under them for too long!

  The New Forest is a great place to visit and Matley Wood Campsite could be an excellent place to stay, a get away from it all campsite, It's a site that has no facilities other then a water tap and WC emptying point, you must have your own chemical toilet or you can't stay. The site has no warden on site, to obtain your camping permit, even if you have payed online, you must go to the Dennis Wood Campsite up the road to obtain your permit. There is no signage explaining this on site or online, we woke up the following morning to find a soggy note under our campervan wiper informing us to collect a camping permit. This was the only sign we had that anybody visited the site, We were approached several times by new arrivals asking how to pay for camping. Dogs are allowed onsite but not on the Dennis Wood Site; here lies the problem, many campers at Matley Wood bring their dogs, which as a dog owner is great. But, because there is no supervision on site some dog owners feel that the signs around the site saying, keep dogs on leads, does not apply to them. We had a very disturbing confrontation with a dog owner who's 3 dogs were chasing a ball across the site, when we asked the owners to but one of their dogs on a lead when it came onto our pitch and approached our dog; they did not take kindly to being asked to put their dog on a lead. Other people arrive, open there vehicle door, out jumps a dog which dashes off to do it's business! If you have issues with dogs or just don't like them, best avoid this site. I feel with a site warden or at least someone doing the rounds several times a day would at least put off most dog owners from letting their dogs off its lead whilst on site.
