  • No-frills farm campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Winnersh in Berkshire
  • Legoland Windsor Resort half an hour’s drive; Thorpe Park 45 minutes
  • Camping field bounded by woodland; two pubs within five minutes’ drive
When you’re looking for a slice of country living under canvas, but equally well can’t face pottering down too many country lanes, Ellis’ Hill Farm Campsite will suit you very well. Just double check the directions on your way there, as satnav may direct you through a ford and you don’t want to end up with a car issue.
 At 10 minutes’ drive from Winnersh in Berkshire, this peaceful farm site is close to several major road networks. Even better news – for the kids if not your pocket – it’s within half an hour by car of family attractions like Legoland Windsor Resort and Beale Wildlife Park. Sheltered by tall trees, the camping field is mostly level with a few undulations. You’ll need sturdy footwear, and as it’s only mown once a year, if you’re a repeat visitor you’ll see how the meadow grows through the seasons. Also be aware that there’s no electricity to hand, so bring torches for wandering around your pitch after dark.
 The surrounding woodland is a fascinating habitat for wildlife. Don’t be surprised if you encounter the odd deer or sneaky fox – just please make sure your food is stored away from all animal foragers. Barbecues are allowed on site, but of course you can also sneak off to the two local pubs (both around five minutes’ drive) for a pint and helpings of comfort food.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, back-to-basics campsite set in beautiful rural surroundings, ideal for nature lovers. Guests consistently praise the friendly and accommodating owners, the spacious pitches, and the opportunity to observe local wildlife. While facilities are basic (toilets only, no showers), they are generally found to be clean and functional. Some guests mention noise from nearby industrial activity or Heathrow airport, and occasional issues with road access or campsite signage, but most find the tranquil atmosphere and value for money make it a highly recommended and re-visitable destination.

Kim B.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Very quiet and scenic spot considering its close proximity to the hubbub. Third time we have stayed here as perfect central spot for us to visit family and friends. Have been for Xmas, summer hols and now springtime and never been disappointed. Loved watching the deer frolic from the camper bedroom window on waking and the bacon and sausage butties from the farm shop are lush. We are self sufficient in our camper so don’t need any additional facilities so suits us just fine 👍

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Quaint campsite with very welcoming staff. Camped on the woodland pitch which was reasonably flat. Facilities very clean.

Disliked Noise from the lorries in the yard behind woods

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We’re glad you found the pitch and facilities satisfactory.

We’re sorry to hear that the lorry noise disturbed you. The yard does get busy from time to time. Once the weather is better, it’ll be possible to camp further out in the field, which tends to be quieter even when there is traffic in the yard.

We hope you will visit us again.

A Dream Camping spot that YOU need to check out!

George I.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked If you’re looking for a spacious and well-kept place to enjoy a couple of days outdoors, Ellie’s Hill Farm is definitely worth adding to your list. The setting itself is one of the highlights — you have the option to pitch up in a wide open clearing with plenty of space around you, or choose a spot closer to the forest for a more tucked-away, peaceful feel. Both areas are extremely clean and clearly well maintained, which makes the whole experience much more comfortable.

From the moment I arrived, everything felt organised and easy. The staff were helpful and even provided a trolley to move camping gear to the pitch, which made setup much easier. It’s small details like that which really improve the overall experience.

The amenities are also very well thought out. The toilets are only about a 2-minute walk away, and there are plenty of them, so even during busier times you don’t end up waiting in queues. Everything was clean and accessible, which is exactly what you want when staying somewhere for a few days.

One thing I would definitely recommend is trying the on-site café. The sausage and egg sandwich was genuinely one of the best I’ve had in a long time — simple, fresh, and done properly. It’s a great addition to the stay and saves you having to worry about meals if you don’t want to cook everything yourself.

Overall, it’s a calm, enjoyable place to camp whether you’re going solo or with friends. The mix of open space, natural surroundings, and good facilities makes it a solid choice for a relaxing outdoor break.

If you’d like to see the full experience, including the setup, cooking, and the overall trip, you can check out my adventure at Ellie’s Farm on my YouTube channel, BalkanBornOutdoors.

Route directions

Please use Gravelpit Hill Lane to access the site. Satnav devices often suggest Ellis’ Hill as the best route, but there is a ford that can be quite deep. Stay on the B3030 (Arborfield to Twyford or vice versa), drive to the top of Gravelpit Hill Lane and turn right. The farm is a few hundred yards on the left. What3words: blip.reverted.cutback.

Local attractions

The kids will be pestering you for their day on the water rides, gentle rollercoasters and splash parks at Legoland Windsor Resort (half an hour’s drive), where they can also build their own Lego Ferrari. Once that’s done, no doubt Thorpe Park (45 minutes) and all its adrenaline-inducing thrill rides will be on their agenda too. All wildlife lovers will appreciate the chance to spot sloths, monkeys and reptiles moving about freely in tropical glasshouses at The Living Rainforest (35 minutes). Another option is to head for Beale Wildlife Park (half an hour) to feed exotic capybaras and tapirs or get up close to whiskery binturongs, cat-like mammals from southern Asia. To up the activity stakes, set out on the lake for kayaking adventures at Wokingham Waterside Centre (15 minutes), or try out the paddleboards and sailing dinghies at Dinton Pastures Country Park (10 minutes). If you hit the odd rainy day, you can catch blockbuster films at Showcase Cinema de Lux Reading (10 minutes), or take refuge on the lazy river and waterslides at under-cover Coral Reef Waterworld (25 minutes).
