Woodland camping, especially in our secluded woodland areas , offers a unique experience with several benefits:

1. Connection with Nature:

Being immersed in a natural environment allows campers to disconnect from urban life and reconnect with the natural world. It promotes mindfulness and reduces stress levels.

2. Seclusion and Privacy:

Unlike crowded campsites, camping in secluded woodland areas provides privacy and a sense of exclusivity. This solitude allows campers to fully unwind and enjoy their surroundings without disturbance.

3. Freedom and Flexibility:

Named as one of Time Out’s ‘Best UK Campsites’, Wytch Wood Camping is a peaceful retreat surrounded by woodland and wildflowers. With options for tents, hammock tents, trailer tents and campervans the choice is yours for your next camping adventure.

4. Adventure and Exploration:

It encourages exploration of lesser-known areas and hidden gems of the Somerset countryside. This sense of adventure adds excitement and discovery to the camping experience.
