  • 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.

What customers say

A no-frills spot with chilled vibes, quiet countryside and heaps of wildlife. Owners get rave reviews for being friendly. Basic but clean loos, no showers. Ppl love the roomy sites, bush walks and cafe. Bit tricky getting there, and farm/plane noise now & then.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Relaxed and natural campsite. No frills, short walk to the pub. Owner is really nice. Farm shop a nice bonus. Toilets were basic but clean.
We live very locally and came for a night away. Loved the peace and quiet and hearing the deer.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So glad to hear that we fitted the bill as your local campsite.

Come anytime!

Peaceful and beautiful. Great walks nearby and a fantastic pub.

Georgina G. 1 review

Unpowered grass and earth caravan site

Liked Site with basic but clean facilities.

Enjoyed:
Nice quiet field
Big trees for shade
A swing hung from a tree
Wild blackberries
Plenty of space
Able to choose own pitch
Our friends were allowed to visit us on the site
Watching large construction vehicles moving gravel next to the site (this stopped in the evening and didn't disturb our sleep)

To be aware of:
Rubbish must be taken home
No specificied area for disposal of grey water


The site is priced according to the facilities. We had a lovely stay at Ellis Hill Farm Campsite and would happily return in future.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your detailed review. It’s very helpful.

Some guests do find the lorries a bit disruptive, but most people don’t seem troubled by them. Thank you for flagging up a potential issue though.

We’re working on a grey water solution at the moment particularly in the light of the extreme weather we are experiencing. We hope to improve this soon.

We do have rubbish bins at the farm gate, but it helps us enormously if guests can take their rubbish home with them.

On the plus side, you gave us a ten out of ten, so we must be doing something right!

See you 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).
