OUR IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT

 

Wytch Wood Campsite aims to have as little impact on the environment as possible.

 

You’ll be drinking cool, clear spring water (safely filtered of course) from one of the uppermost tributaries of the River Axe. Eight compost loos are positioned around the site, and guests can enjoy use of the three hot showers and the washing up stations.

 

Bio washing up liquid, soaps and shampoos will be supplied along with comprehensive recycling facilities.

A MORE SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO CAMPING

 

When small, quiet campsites in great locations, that allow campfires and are gentle on the environment are what you are looking for, The Greener Camping Club is for you!

 

We’ve put ‘green’ at the forefront of camping and created The Greener Camping Club to fill the void for a members-only camping organisation committed to sustainable, responsible, eco-friendly camping.

 

Wytch Wood Camp Site is privately owned and managed, and provides some of the most environmentally friendly, low impact recreational camping experiences.

WHY CHOOSE WYTCH WOOD FOR YOUR NEXT HOLIDAY

 

  • A secluded and relaxed choice of exceptional and camping and glamping pitches.
  • An annual membership fee of just £12 (the membership year runs from 1st January to 31st December – membership automatically extends to the 31st December of the following year if you join on or after 1st September of the preceding year). Meaning you can book any time we are open.
  • Our ’Trees for Life’ scheme, whereby a tree is planted for every customer that stays. In this small way, our hope is that the trees go some way to off-setting some of the inevitable environmental impact of even the greenest of holidays.
  • Campsites where queues for the loo are a thing of the past. We have a strict quota system of loos/showers to pitches for the campsite, so you’ll never be caught short again.
  • The showers contain bio soaps and shampoos.
  • Comprehensive recycling facilities.
  • A paper-free, digital membership enrolment process.

Working in harmony with the environment.

GREENER CAMPING CLUB TREE GARDEN

 

Welcome to our new tree garden – this new plantation was created by our guests!

 

When we sign you up for your Greener Camping Club Membership, we receive a young tree to plant in the winter.

 

There are over 300 trees in this area – a mix of native species, including: Silver Birch, Scots Pine, Hazel, Mountain Ash, Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Hornbeam, Oak and Crab Apple. In future, this area will get more beautiful and create a whole new area of woodland giving cover and food to small birds.

 

We want to thank our guests for making this possible and we hope to welcome them back for many years to come so they can see their trees grow and flourish.

This place is really amazing. Beautiful quiet campsite with individual character pitches. I took my boys and they loved it. Booked again for another visit for 2024 and will probably become a traditional for us to visit.

We thoroughly had a fantastic time staying at Wytch Wood. It was obvious from the get go that a lot of thought, love and effort has gone into creating this beautiful campsite, with a conscientious approach to nature. We love how each pitch has their own complementary fire pit, handmade table and chairs and even a trug full of logs free of charge as you arrive - something you rarely get on other campsites! We stayed at Toby's Double pitch which is right next to the stream on the edge of the woodland, but still gets plenty of sunshine throughout the day. Falling asleep next to the sound of running water was absolute bliss... as was seeing an eel in the stream and waking up to owls hooting, horses neighing away in the distance and serene birdsong. All of the pitches are generously spaced out so you get plenty of privacy without feeling like you're too penned in. We even had our own compost loo which was super convenient and clean and tidy. The showers were simple yet a great set up with complimentary Faith in Nature shampoo and conditioner - again, an offering you rarely get on other campsites. They have thought of everything essential you need here - at the entrance to the site there are plug sockets to charge devices and a makeshift shop selling local beers/ciders/snacks and most necessities you might have forgotten to pack - all with an honesty box to contribute to. The homemade Pizzas we had on Saturday were epic! We were also really grateful to be given some homemade apple and elderberry crumble made by one of the ladies running it - it was really thoughtful and kind of her. They were friendly, relaxed and always easy to find if we needed anything. Walking around you can see all the new trees they have planted including figs and apple trees which we thought was very forward thinking. There was a lovely well looked after herb bed too. If you are looking for all this, at excellent value for money and in an incredible setting nearby to lots of lovely villages and beaches, then you really must go here. Thank you for a wonderful stay - we hope to come back in the future. Phoebe and Mel x

A really nice place with a lot of activities and communal spaces with different vibes to chill or play board games or read a book and relax. Family friendly with lots of space for kids to play. Fantastic pizza and they also have coffee, croissants and more, in the morning. The owner was lovely and very helpful.

This is the perfect campsite- we stayed for 4 nights and would have stayed longer if we could! The pitches are really spaced out, so it feels peaceful and private. Great countryside views. We appreciated the private composting loo for each pitch. The honesty shop served us very well, we loved having a campfire every night with toasted marshmallows :) the local area is beautiful too. The campsite owner is super helpful and welcoming. We also enjoyed chatting to Jonny who was the cleaner while we were there, very nice guy. We would love to come back one day and will be recommending to family/friends.

Family of 5 (3 children aged 9,7,4) and our first time camping/glamping. Wytch wood was a fabulous site with everything we could have possibly needed and all very comfortable. We rented a bell tent and it was spacious, set up brilliantly and the beds were comfy and cozy. We had the best time and Elise was an incredible host. Thank you for a magical time!

Only spent one night here, but already planning to come back next year for longer! Stayed on pitch 7 (Toby's Double), and was able to string my hammock tent up between two sturdy trees. I think this is one of the smaller pitches here, but even so it's fully equipped with table and benches, firepit and your own composting loo. The rest of the site is glorious as well, there's showers up the top, and a great little communal area with charging, a community fridge/freezer, and an honesty shop with local products (try the gelato and the kombucha). In the morning there's fresh coffee available from Elise, and two nights a week they fire up the pizza oven(!). The best bit though? There's a babbling brook that runs through the bottom of the site. Despite all the facilities, the low number of pitches and separation between them allows this to feel nearly like wild camping in terms of closeness to nature. Heavily recommend Wytch Wood!
