  • 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

A no-frills campsite for a peaceful rural getaway. Reviewers rave about the friendly owners, ample space, and natural beauty. Basic but clean facilities, no showers. Site's loved for its quiet vibe, wildlife, and easy access to walks and pubs. Expect minor farm/plane noise & a bumpy track. Great for nature lovers!

Unpowered grass and earth caravan site

Liked Absolute lovely people that own the site. Well kept site, clean and tidy. We stayed there on Christmas eve, Christmas day and boxing day. We were the only ones there in our camper van. The owners had put up Christmas lights in the field and welcomed us with a lovely Christmas card and present. We had a wonderful time there, and thankyou very much to the owners.

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

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

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Very glad to know that you are a returning visitor and plan to come again.

The price is just about as low as we can make it and we hope it doesn’t put you off. It’s such a pretty place to stay.

Unpowered grass and earth caravan site

Liked 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.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback.

We’re glad we were able to help you enjoy your stay with us.

Please come again soon.

Liked 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.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review

We’re happy to have rounded off your road trip with a pleasant stay and very much look forward to welcoming you back soon.

Anthony G.

Unpowered grass and earth caravan site

Liked 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.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely positive review.

We do believe that we give value for money for a short break in the wilds!

Love the photos. Thank you.

Please come and see us again soon.

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).
