Camping in Berkshire

Berkshire's campsites make the most of its mix of river valleys, downland and woodland, with a good spread across Newbury, Reading and the quieter villages between. Sites such as Bishops Green Farm Camping and Ellis' Hill Farm Campsite offer a simple rural base near Newbury and Lambourn, useful for exploring the Berkshire Downs, while Hurley Riverside Park sits closer to the Thames for a waterside pitch.

Families tend to head for Wellington Country Park or Bucklebury Farm & Deer Safari Park, both combining camping with animals and outdoor activities on site. For something different, Hollington Park Glamping and Orchard View Wedmore offer more comfortable, ready-made stays, and Heritage Family Naturist Campsite caters to a specific niche. Around Sandhurst, Crowthorne and Riseley, smaller sites like Scotlands House Campsite give easy access to the county's eastern edge without straying far from Bracknell or the M4 corridor.
