  • 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.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

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

Disliked - 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

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked 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.

Disliked 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.

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.
