Ellis' Hill Farm Campsite

Líbí se: We had a friendly welcome and the place was very quiet which was great. There was a nice 20 min path walk to the nearest town with a lovely pub serving food, nice looking pizzeria and a Londis if we would have needed to stock up on anything. The campsite is very basic but this was what we were looking for.

Od správce: Thank you so much for taking the trouble to post such a lovely review. It makes it all worthwhile for us, especially in early spring, when the weather and ground conditions can be unpredictable!

We are definitely no frills, but we do try to make guests feel welcome.

We very much hope to see you again soon.

Líbí se: Easy to find and lovely place to easily pitch up. The toilets were great, nothing special but made a lot easier with the children.
Just what we was looking for at last minute. No frills just nature and a fire.
Enjoyed every minute even if it was a very cold night lol.

Nelíbí se: Nothing

Please come again soon. The weather is beginning to warm up!

Líbí se: Location is great for me visiting family in Reading, arrived to a wagging welcome from Digger the dog who regularly does the rounds and checks in on all campers! Was very quiet first 2 nights with more campers arriving at the weekend. So wonderful to wake up to a beautiful sunrise with deer in the field! Lovely local woodland walks, great little cafe and shop and Kevin was very helpful. Was able to buy wood for fire pit. Toilet facilities are basic, no showers but I knew that and was fine. Just what I needed after a busy few days in the city centre.

Nelíbí se: Planes overhead but you can’t help that! Managed to get parked fairly level but might need chocks for hardstanding area.

Od správce: Thank you for your lovely, positive review.

Digger the dog certainly keeps a watchful eye on our guests (and their snacks)

The big commercial aircraft can sometimes be a bit irritating, but we also get quite a few interesting heritage planes flying overhead from time to time - worth looking out for!

As soon as the ground dries out, it should be possible to drive camper vans and caravans onto the field. We know that campers prefer this, but we try to accommodate guests even in challenging conditions. We can always help with levelling vehicles if need be, but bringing chocks is very good advice.

We really look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Líbí se: They had accommodated everyone despite the poor weather making sure that everyone was able to enjoy their stay. Facilities were clean and as described. Overall cannot go wrong for the money

The weather has, indeed, been challenging recently, but we love to welcome guests who are prepared to put up with a bit of mud! It’s a really lovely place to connect with nature, whatever the weather throws at you!

We hope to see you again soon.

Líbí se: We recently visited this campsite for our first-ever camping trip—crazy, right? Despite the poor weather, we had an amazing experience! The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. They not only guided us to the best spot to pitch our tent but also, seeing how cold we were, generously gave us some firewood. Their hospitality made all the difference. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Od správce: So happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the lovely comments.

See you soon!

Líbí se: Very friendly and helpful staff. Real people. Good guidance. The purpose of this camp was "winter camping". The site delievered by having an area that was not drenched and muddy. Toilet facilities were clean, had water, had toilet paper and hand washing soap. There are no shower facilities and that is clearly stated - so no miscommunication there. Camped under some beech trees. Saw a deer. It was a good get-away in a safe space. Great grass meadow surrounded by beautiful trees, and we camped angled at the sunrise.
No wifi offered, and maybe more geared towards adults as there are several barbed wire fences.

Nelíbí se: Nothing really. No mis-representation of the site.

Od správce: Thank you for your helpful and generous review. Feedback is so important to us and helps prospective guests to understand the nature of our site.

It’s correct that we do have some areas in our woodland, bounded by barbed wire. This was put there by a neighbour (unfortunately). The main camping field is suitable for families, with plenty of space for children to play safely.

Camping in the winter is certainly more challenging here as we are up against the weather which can make the ground waterlogged quite quickly. We do try to accommodate guests despite the challenges and we know that people generally understand that winter camping is not for everyone.

We hope to see you again soon.

Best wishes.

Líbí se: Site is easily accessible by bus--take the bus route 3 from Reading and take a 20min walk. Very friendly for backpackers :)!!

The host is very friendly and helpful, had a great time at the site. Pitch is large but you have to spend some time finding yourself a flat and dry space if you want to be under the trees. There are fire bowls, logs and kindlings available on site, and a cozy little tea room at the reception. Toilet is very clean. A lot of wildlife including robins, bluetits, owls and deers. Will definitely visit again!
