Forester’s Gate Camping Pitch
A sunny, grass pitch suitable for most tent types. Backing on to the ancient woodland, you can still see the old gate used by the foresters to remove timber.

(MAX 4 ADULTS & TEENS)
Situated in the newest part of the campsite, Forester’s Gate is at the top of the paddock beside a tiny brook. Backing on to the woodland, you can still see the old gate used by the foresters to remove timber over the centuries. We have levelled the area to accommodate most tents types.
At the highest point on the campsite, views are over the paddock and across the valley on one side and into the woods at the back. We’re planting wildflowers all around to make another beautiful place to camp.
The Forester’s Gate camping pitch is best for:
⇒ Most tent types, though no room for a pup tent
⇒ Sun lovers

EXCELLENT Based on 103 reviews Louise Barnett24 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stayed in our Campervan. Site was amazing peaceful and surrounded by beautiful views. Elise very welcoming. All in all a great stay Rob Shaw18 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I think this is probably the best site I've camped at. Each pitch is slightly different, but most have their own toilet and all are nicely separated. Showers, washing up area and communal spot are all excellent. The staff, led by owner Elise are all fantastic. I very highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Rae Cod9 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This campsite deserves its name because it’s magical. The wind in the trees, the babbling stream, wonderful walks - idyllic. Stayed at the start of the season & it was really quiet, but it’s not a massive site so I imagine it’d be nice & chilled most of the time. Echoing others views on coffee & pizza - delicious. We stayed in a camper van on pitch 6 but hired a bell tent for some extra room for our family of 4 & it was amazing to be able to gaze at the sky through the perspex roof. I loved pitch 6, but I reckon you’d say that about any pitch you stayed on here, they all look great. Wild garlic was everywhere & made a scrumptious addition to our burgers. The toilets, fire-pit & seating on each pitch felt like such a luxury, as did the wonderful toiletries in the showers…I fear this campsite has ruined all other campsites for me. Looking forward to returning when the kids can have a go at some axe throwing. Thank you Elise & team for a lovely stay. Emily5 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful campsite, made even better by the incredibly friendly team. The setting is stunning, with a great mix of woodland and sunny grass pitches to choose from. We especially enjoyed the excellent coffee, fresh stone-baked pizza, and warm showers. We’ll definitely be coming back—and recommending it to friends! Nicely located within easy reach of supermarket for supplies and 30 ish mins to the Jurassic coast for a beach day.

Will definitely be back Helen Noakes12 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A wonderful stay in our Campervan. This is a gem of a campsite set in woodland - the only sounds you will hear are birdsong and sheep grazing in the fields. Facilities were excellent and well thought out for campers. Highly recommend this place. Suzie Eastment1 September 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing camp site, we loved our stay here. Our pitch was huge, partly under trees so was great to have some shade as well as sun. The pitch came with a table and chairs, firepit and composting toilet. The showers were closed by too. The pizzas on pizza night were delicious, would highly recommend. We loved the honesty tab that you start on arrival and pay on leaving. Would definitely recommend a trip here😍 Caroline Lisle1 September 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a lovely week at Wytch Wood...one of the most beautiful places we've camped. We camped on the edge of ancient woodland under an oak tree. The team there are friendly and helpful and make the best morning coffee you'll ever have at a campsite! It's a place to relax and enjoy just being in the natural world. Will definitely return. Cal and family. Jessica King26 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Campsite of dreams! We had an amazing weekend at Wytch Wood in June, complete with luxury add-ons (delicious stone-baked pizzas, fresh coffees and warm croissants) and incredible location, including stream and woodlands on site, offering hours of adventures for a group with young children. Each pitch is unique and nicely spaced. Plenty of spots to hang hammocks, play games and enjoy being outside. Beautifully landscaped communal facilities. Loads of games on site. All of the touches so well thought through. We got lucky with the weather, and enjoyed some lovely evenings listening to owls and watching bats flit about. We hope to be back next year. Simon Ferdinand26 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great campsite: we liked the varied pitches and walk through the woods. Clean showers and private toilet. Beautiful area with lots to do. Recommended.
