Reviews
Here’s your opportunity to tell fellow campers all about the campsites that you know and love. Whether it’s to highlight a hidden gem of a location or praise a sensational site manager, we want to hear from you!
Think of your favourite site and how well you know it. Then imagine being able to tell someone else about some of those wonderful things that make it so special! Advice on getting there, info about the pitches, the low-down on the facilities, what there is nearby to do, see and explore... it could open up a world of possibilities to fellow campers just like you.
Your reviews are important and will be valuable to the Club and Club Members alike, so why not

Pandabloke (Club member) reviewed Matley Wood - New Forest Camping in the Forest Campsite...
stayed here for two nights at the end of the Jubilee weekend, having come from the sister Setthorns site. My unit is a Conway Excel F/C and I camp alone - well accompanied by Arnold the cuddly Panda (see our Setthorns review). On arrival you sign in at Denny Wood, across the road, given instructions by the splendid wardens, then are basically left to your own devices to find a pitch and set up, which is great! There are no set pitches, just areas, if you like, and Arnold chose a fine spot under a tree which he could laze against, promptly fell asleep and left me to set up. Site was virtually fully booked but despite that there was plenty of room for children to play and plenty of areas to choose from. It's about a 30min amble into Lyndhurst which has an excellent camping store (and numerous splendid pubs, Arnold tells me...) lIn fact, like all these Forest sites, it is handy for exploring all of the New Forest. During our brief rainy stay a foal actually strolled into the sun canopy! Arnold then proceeded to try and chat up it's mother - typical.... Hey, it's rained - but it doesn't matter. The scenery and wildlife (not just Arnold) are worth it. Bring a chemical lavvie and a camera and just enjoy. Why 5 stars for the facilities? Cos what it said you get - (not much) - were as they said, no EHU (Arnold couldn't use his hair drier so that was a sulky afternoon, I can tell you), no toilets, no showers, but I wasn't expecting them. But all in all, a fine site. A word of warning however, the main gate is locked at 10.30. Have you ever tried to carry a drunk Panda from the nearby car park, through the trees and back to your unit to the accompanying inebriated singing of Sweet Molly Malone? Oh and if you see a fat Panda lurking as you cook your fry up, please don't feed him - you'll never get rid of him...
