  • 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.

What customers say

A friendly, peaceful, and spacious campsite with welcoming owners and wildlife sightings. Facilities are basic, with no showers, which may not suit all, and occasional noise from planes or farm machinery. Some visitors found it tricky to locate.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Such a lovely quiet, secluded site with lots of shade, which we really appreciated in the heatwave. Very friendly owners. Lovely big field so we could easily exercise our dog. Lovely to see the deer, dragonflies and butterflies in the meadow.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review.

We do have quite a few shady spots, so it is possible to cool off a little. There’s also a little stream nearby which is lovely for cooling dogs down.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

To find camp stay on Mole road and you will see large yellow signs .

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The calm and scenery . Friendly owners. Relaxed atmosphere. Good for a short stay.

Disliked Toilets although basic could be a little better I think. Nowhere to wash crockery but buckets were provided. Difficult to find a large yellow signs only say name of farm in small letters at the bottom of sign.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and particularly for flagging up that guests should look for the yellow signs at the bottom of our farm track. That’s very helpful as we are tricky to find. We would remind guests to study the directions which are on their booking confirmation.

We take your points about facilities and will improve where we can.

It’s nice to know that you plan to visit again and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Caroline S.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly owners, timely response to our request, and nice field to camp in. We enjoyed the rustic site and remote location. The ladies loo was clean.

Disliked Unfortunately the site has a sewage works nearby and the smell carried itself over to us! This is why I've given a rating of 7 instead of 9

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed most things about the site.

From time to time we do get a bit of a whiff from the treatment works and the hot weather seems to be a factor. We’re sorry that it had an impact on your enjoyment.

Best wishes

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.
