  • 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. At 10 minutes’ drive from Winnersh in Berkshire, this peaceful farm site is close to all the 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. Just double check the directions on your way to this splendid place, as Satnavs may direct you through a ford and you don't want to end up with a soggy bottom. Sheltered by tall trees, the camping field is mostly level, but has 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 and changes 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.

A peaceful, basic campsite with welcoming owners. Praised for spacious sites, beautiful scenery, and abundant wildlife like deer. Facilities are simple but clean. While some mention absent showers & occasional plane noise, guests enjoyed the relaxed vibe & good value for a quiet, natural getaway.

Liked We have just come back from a lovely stay, the field was very spacious lots of room and had a really good vibe. The cafe/farm shop did fantastic bacon and eggs. All the staff were super friendly.
We saw a deer first thing in the morning roaming around the meadow.
We will definitely book again.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked No frills level field without marked pitches. Retired couple with grandchildren in campervan adored the simplicity and quietness of being in the countryside. Loos were clean and a little shop at the entrance. Easy to book and really friendly owner.

Disliked Nothing.

Route directions

Please make sure that you use Gravelpit Hill Lane to access the site. Satnav devices often suggest Ellis’ Hill as the best route. Please don’t come this way. There is a ford which is sometimes quite deep. You need to be on the B3030 (Arborfield to Twyford or vice versa) to reach the site. Drive to the top of Gravelpit Hill Lane, and then turn right. The farm is a few hundred yards along on the left. What3words: blip.reverted.cutback.
