Ellis' Hill Farm Campsite

Positiv Easily accessible campsite - second stay at this site. Back to basics - large pitches. Plenty of local amenities.

Negativ Price is on the slightly high side for a back to basics campsite perhaps.

Positiv Lovely owners, very helpful. We got there late so didn’t have a great deal of time there just an overnight for legoland but the views in the morning over the field was beautiful! The boys particularly liked the rope swing!

We are very glad that you enjoyed your brief stay with us.

We look forward to welcoming you for a bit longer next time.

Hope the boys enjoyed Legoland!

Positiv We loved our stay at Ellis' Hill Farm, especially watching wild deer grazing metres away from our caravan. Close enough to Reading for visiting our daughter but completely rural and surrounded by walks in beautiful woodland. We felt really welcomed and bacon butties and tea at the cafe was an added bonus. We look forward to returning.

Positiv Coffee with the locals Saturday morning. Pork butchery onsite and amazing. The hosts are the most genial and accommodating in 8 weeks on the road. In the country ( it is a farm ) very quiet and deer in the meadow in the morning. Clean washrooms, no showers. Great value.

Positiv Lovely, accommodating staff. Great site. For the price and the honest description, I got exactly what I was expecting from the site. For those negative reviews, I suggest they pay over the odds for a luxury site… I love that we can still get away in this country for minimal cost and minimal gimmicks. A true back to basics weekend with great links and plenty of local attractions. Will definitely stay again in the future. The toilet facilities could do with an update, however it’s perfectly serviceable.

We very much look forward to seeing you again soon. We love it when guests see what we see in this wonderful place.

Positiv Rural, peaceful location. Almost felt like a wild camp, but without needing to pack up and move on at sunrise!

Negativ Nothing to dislike.

See you again soon, we hope.

Positiv - Site feels secluded and remote despite being close to big towns like Reading and Wokingham
- Short, pleasant off-road walks to 2 decent pubs

Negativ - The guy who ran his petrol generator all evening and following morning (looks like a permanent resident?) - definitely not a peaceful experience
- Haulage company lorries arriving and unloading until around 1am
- As with other reviews, bathroom facilities are functional but pretty grim

Generators are not permitted on site. We would have addressed this issue at the time had we known about it. We don’t have permanent residents. The guest in question was only staying for a couple of nights.

We do have lorries working on site at night from time to time, but only occasionally. We’re sorry if their activity disturbed you.

The loos are basic as stated in our entry.

We’re sorry that you didn’t have a wholly positive experience with us.

Positiv Friendly staff and very relaxed atmosphere, lovely to be in nature and see the geese flying over and the rooks circling before roosting at night. The cafe and farm shop looked nice but we didn’t have a chance to sample it. Lovely walks nearby.

Negativ Unfortunately there was work going on well into the evening, lorries loading up with aggregates in the yard near the field. The toilets were very basic and although the toilet itself was clean the room wasn’t, sink, walls and floors very dusty and grimy and no hot water. Without showers on site this might be the only option for those camping to be able to wash but not a problem if you have a camper van.
