Open from April to October<\/strong><\/p>\nThe closest of our holiday parks near Legoland Windsor is alongside the river Thames, with direct access to the Windsor-Maidenhead towpath: the pretty walk to Windsor takes you past Dorney Lake, scene of Team GB\u2019s rowing triumphs at the 2012 Olympics. It\u2019s a 20-minute drive to Legoland and about the same to Windsor Castle; heading north, you can be at Cliveden House or Cookham in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
This small, family-run holiday park has grass pitches and several fruit trees on the site, a reminder that it used to be an orchard. Pets are welcome and facilities include electric hook-up, showers, toilets, a laundry and a playground. The M4 runs next to the site before crossing the Thames: pedestrians can use the bridge to visit Bray, for posh nosh at one of its Michelin-starred restaurants or top-notch pub grub at the Crown, owned by Heston Blumenthal. There are more pubs in Taplow, a five-minute drive away, and you can pick up any shopping in Maidenhead or Slough.<\/p>\n

This is a simple site, with electric hook-up, but no showers, sinks or toilets: it\u2019s surrounded by trees and the pitches are around the edge of the 2\u00bd-acre site, leaving plenty of green space for family fun and games. It backs onto a cricket pitch and playground, and you can walk to the village of Warfield for pubs, wood-fired pizza or a curry. Pick up supplies at the Tesco in Whitegrove or the huge Waitrose in Bracknell, both a five-minute drive away.<\/p>\n
Although the site is secluded, there\u2019s loads to keep active families happy within a 20-minute drive, including Go Ape rope courses in Swinley Forest, waterslides and a spa at Coral Reef Waterworld, and windsurfing, sailing and canoeing at Bray Lake Watersports. Windsor Great Park is a marvellous spot for a stroll, with deer parks and a chance of spotting a royal. Scotlands House is 10 minutes from Ascot racecourse and 20 minutes from Sunningdale and Wentworth, with plenty more courses within, er, driving range.<\/p>\n
