  • 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

This no-frills campsite offers a peaceful, natural escape with spacious spots and friendly, helpful owners. Enjoy the on-site cafe with tasty breakfast sandwiches and lovely woodland walks. Basic, clean restrooms are available, though some guests missed showers. The bumpy access road is noted, and while farm noise is mentioned, many find it a great value for a relaxed stay.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Location, local walks, farm shop breakfast sandwich, staff friendly

Disliked Very uneven ground. Went over on my ankle several times. Not well sign-posted. Wasn't sure I was in the right place.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re glad you liked our little place.

We’re sorry to hear that you found the uneven ground challenging. We are doing our best to fill in ruts and bumps after a very wet winter.

Please come again soon.

Quite few days with the kids

It’s true that our facilities are basic. We are in the middle of an upgrade to the loos, but we can’t, unfortunately put showers in at this point.

We hope to see you again soon.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked Farmer Kieth is the loveliest man, so friendly and chatty, clean toilets

Disliked Access through gate to the path to the lovely pub

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind words.

We will try to improve the gate through to the path. You can walk up through the yard, but the field gate is quicker!

See you again soon, hopefully.

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).
