  • 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. Dogs are welcome on site when kept on a lead at all times.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Natural peaceful site with beautiful surroundings, woods and trails. Nature lovers dream.

Disliked There’s nothing to dislike but worth saying ‘basic toilet facilities’ although clean. No showers so camping as it should be. more than compensated by the beautiful surroundings

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Really liked the connection to nature, the wild meadow separating the tents form the vans, the trees, walks from the site. Great for wildlife too, we heard deer barking, saw a baby pheasants and heard a wood pecker.
Friendly welcome and an easy site to navigate.
We didn’t use the facilities as we are self contained in our van so can’t comment on them.

Liked A simple and pleasant stay for 1 night in my camper on the hottest night! Start gazing, animal watching and plane spotting. Only 2 of us parked up, so was very spacious and felt very safe. Would definitely come back again. The gentleman who runs the farm was lovely to chat too also. Thank you!

Liked Loved this peacefull site
Just the sort of place we look for.

Perfect after a long drive from Cornwall.

Would defo recommend.
Just watch the potholes on the lane leading up to the site 😅😅

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.

We are always happy to welcome friends and family to the site. It makes it so jolly here.

It’s true that the farm track is a little challenging. Slow and careful driving is definitely required!

See you again soon, hopefully.

Wonderful, relaxed experience!

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).
