  • 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

Tranquil, basic campsite amid lovely rural scenery, perfect for nature fans. Owners are a hit for friendliness & helpfulness. Generous pitches, great for spotting wildlife. Toilets are clean & functional; no showers. Some noise from industry/Heathrow & road access issues noted, but overall a great value, highly recommended spot.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a wonderfully warm and friendly welcome from the moment we arrived, which really set the tone for our stay.

One thing that genuinely stood out was how clean the toilets were — something you don’t always expect at a campsite, but it made a big difference and was very much appreciated.

The owner clearly takes a real interest in their guests and goes out of their way to make sure everyone has a great experience. That personal touch didn’t go unnoticed, and we truly did have a fantastic time.

We also loved the fact that cars aren’t allowed to drive onto the pitches. It made the site feel much more peaceful and safe. The addition of trolleys to help transport your equipment was a thoughtful and practical touch that worked really well.

Overall, a brilliant stay and somewhere we’d happily return to.

Disliked Can’t think of one thing we didn’t like

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very friendly team on site, lovely location and the breakfast baps were delicious!

Highly recommend and will be returning soon!

Disliked Only downside is a lack of electricity, but that’s easily fixed by asking politely to use an outlet in their farm shop.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Very peaceful, clean but basic facilities and lots of nature.

Close to a pub and it was easy to get an Uber into Reading....cost about £15 each way from The Bull Inn....didn't go in but looked like a lovely pub

Disliked You need to be very careful walking across the field....there are lots of dips/ small holes that are hidden by long grass.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely big pitches in a beautiful setting. Owners were so kind and welcoming and the little cafe is awesome. We loved how relaxed and informal it was, it suited us down to the ground. No showers, but if we stayed again we'd just bring a solar shower.

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).
