THE BLACK CAT BAR AT WYTCH WOOD

 

Tucked inside the rustic barn at the heart of Wytch Wood, the Black Cat Bar is our cosy, woodland watering hole — named after the elusive wild black cat who prowls the forest and occasionally graces us with its mysterious presence.

 

Whether you’re toasting marshmallows outside, catching up with fellow campers, or sipping something special under the fairy lights, the Black Cat Bar is the perfect spot to unwind.

It's in the middle of country nowhere. There are hills and sheep and horses.

Wow, what an amazing spot to stay! It was my first time camping with my 18-month-old little one, and I picked this place because it's like a cool mix of wild camping but still has all the essentials, like a toilet and washroom and everything. I'd totally recommend it, like, 100%! 😊. The owners are absolutely amazing, so lovely, and the site itself is just so well looked after. We honestly loved it so much that we're definitely coming back! Oh, and top tip, they do these brilliant pizza nights too! 🍕😊

We loved camping at Wytch Wood, the pitches are lovely with plenty of space, each pitch is unique. The site is lovely and quiet except for the noise of the animals and birds! We loved the honesty shop & bar and the selection of games you can borrow. The Wood fired Pizza night was delicious and good value.

Wytchwood Camping is a beautiful campsite with spacious, well-kept pitches. You can really feel that this place is cared for with love and attention. The owner is incredibly kind, and every morning there's the best coffee waiting. It's fantastic for kids too, as they can run around and play freely in the forest and by the little creek. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back.

Amazing quiet and peaceful site with only twelve pitches, each with their own loo. Showers and washing up areas very clean. There is an 'honesty shop' which was very useful and the host Elise was so helpful and welcoming. Thoroughly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful break.

We absolutely love Wytch Wood campsite. It is our favorite campsite of the UK and we have been here 3 times yet because of that. Elise is a wonderful host, makes you feel very welcome. The site is beautiful and all the activities (yoga, workshops for children/adults, pizza night) are great. Her staff is very friendly & helpful. And last but not least…so many lovely animals in the field and their own ‘fairytale like’ forrest (sheep, horses, bats, deer, owls). Fantastic! Would really recommend staying here.

Wauw wauw wauw. Heerlijk rustige, kleinschalige camping midden in de natuur. Heel ruime plekken tussen de bomen, elk met een eigen compost-toilet, vuurschaal en grill. Elise runt de plek met zoveel toewijding en doet het allemaal: van een barista-waardige flatwhite in de ochtend tot zuurdesempizza’s in de steenoven op woensdagavonden. We bleven hier 5 nachten met onze baby en konden hier helemaal ontspannen. Voldoende uitstapjes in de buurt! Absolute aanrader voor wie houdt van eco-camping. We’ll be back!

This spot is absolutely gorgeous! It's ideal for tents or smaller camper vans, and I loved how quiet and picturesque it was. Such a lovely place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommend!
