Caravan campsites near Windsor with showers

Whether you want to glamp in a cabin fit for a king or get back to basics on a working farm, there are plenty of options for Hipcampers visiting Windsor. Close by you'll find country parks and riverside camping, plus plenty of opportunities for courtly procession along the Thames Path. Head out a little further to find plenty more rambling routes and cycling trails, in two of southern England’s most scenic outdoor attractions.

With parks, moors, and the River Thames right on the doorstep of Royal Windsor, there's no need to travel far to get a glimpse of the great British outdoors. Mobile and caravan parks line the river's banks, while family-friendly sites such as Hurley Riverside Park offer easy access to the home counties as well as the Thames Path National Trail.

Though summer tends to bring the best weather for any outdoor pursuit in England, the vibrant colours of autumn or dramatic frosts of winter certainly have their own charms. June, July, and August are often very busy around Windsor, especially during the Reading Festival and Royal Ascot weekends.
