Depending on level, one spot that might work is the north eastern edge of Bree-land. Just head up the road to the Hengstacer farm, turn east, and keep going past the farm. There are some wide open areas out there that don't seem to get a lot of traffic. The creatures are fairly well spread out, the gathering is good, and there are some repeatable quests to kill bears and boars.
Going in there as a level 17 hunter, mostly just grinding and collecting (I did each quest once), in two hours I hit level 19, gained two deeds (for killing the orcs in the area), collected over 120 ash logs and over 100 medium hides, and probably picked up anywhere from 100-200 silver worth of other vendor trash as well. The orcs also dropped some good recipes, I did OK picking up resin and flax, and ran into very few people the entire time. Just do a circuit between eastern Bree-fields, Far Chetwood, and in the north I believe it was Nan Haith (I could be wrong there, I apologize). The down side is there are no vendors in the area, so your packs can fill up quick, but even if you make a few shorter trips, it is well worth it. If you're a prospector as well, there is also good barrow iron around there.
I recently made a survey of Tier 1-6 wood nodes in most of the Lotro regions. For players who have a woodsman and want to roleplay this profession a bit - or wonder which wood type you are actually harvesting - I added some flavor about lore and utilization of all the wood types you can find.
