5 best holiday parks near Legoland Windsor - 2021

Legoland Windsor is a fantastic family day out and one good option is staying at one of the hotels on site. However, that’s not a cheap option (3 nights in August 2021 staying in the Legoland Castle was £1247 for a family of four when we checked).

Sure, you could stay in a hotel near Legoland but I’ve come to the conclusion that young children and hotels don’t mix, especially if you’re staying for a whole week. A holiday park or a lodge park is often a more affordable option and they give you more space. 

There aren’t very many holiday parks near to Legoland Windsor, as it’s not near the sea and Slough isn’t exactly a tourism hotspot (unless you’re a fan of The Office). In fact, Parkdean Resorts and Haven’s nearest holiday parks are about 90 minutes drive away from Legoland Windsor (Haven’s Church Farm and Parkdean’s Hayling Island Holiday Park).

However, with a bit of digging around we’ve found five highly rated holiday parks which are near to Legoland Windsor. Some of them are also near Peppa Pig World and Chessington World of Adventures, so you can endure (sorry, enjoy) a whole week of family theme park fun. If you want to mix it up with something a bit classier, the royal residence at Windsor Castle is another hugely popular attraction near to Legoland Windsor.

​For our top 5 holiday parks we looked at factors including distance from Legoland, value for money, customer reviews and facilities.

1.  Tilford Woods Lodge Retreat (45 minutes from Legoland, hot tubs).

Tilford Woods Lodge Retreat sits about half way between Legoland Windsor and Peppa Pig World (part of Paultons Park). It’s about 45 minutes drive to Legoland, 35 minutes to Chessington World of Adventures/The Gruffalo or an hour to Peppa Pig World.

It’s a posh lodge park which gets outstanding reviews from customers and has lodges which sleep 2, 4 and 6 people. TripAdvisor reviewers give it 4.5/5 whilst Hoseasons reviews were at 9.1/10 when we checked.

There aren’t a lot of facilities onsite (don’t expect bingo nights and there’s no swimming pool) but it’s a decent base for a week exploring London, Legoland, Chessington and Peppa Pig World. Some of the lodges have hot tubs, so you can enjoy an outdoor bath and hope the neighbours aren’t looking.

If you want a day out in London, it’s about 40 minutes on the train from nearby Guildford.

​Price: £1225 for a week in August 2021 in a Sturt Lodge for a family of four. Bear in mind that the Legoland entry price is included if you stay at Legoland Windsor, so you’ll need to add this on to your budget. Standard ticket prices for Legoland Windsor are about £40 per person (ish), though there are offers available sometimes.

2. Edgeley Holiday Park Guildford (45 minutes to Legoland, indoor swimming pool)

**Winner: best value holiday park near Legoland**

Edgeley Holiday Park’s main advantage is that it has a swimming pool, sauna, tennis court and playground onsite. It’s also in a pleasant rural spot in the Surrey Hills just outside of Guildford.

Reviews were 9/10 on Hoseasons when we checked, although TripAdvisor reviews weren't as high scoring (4/5). The lodges score well with customers.

Legoland Windsor is 45 minutes drive, whilst Chessington World of Adventures is 30 minutes away. Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park isn’t quite so convenient as it’s about 1hr 15m’s drive.

Price: £935 for a week for a family of four in August 2021 staying in a Classic Holiday Home.

3. California Chalet and Touring Park Wokingham (30 minutes to Legoland, fishing lakes)

California Chalet and Touring Park is mostly used by people with their own caravans but they do have rental accommodation on site. It may not exactly be the California you're expecting, but it's a leafy site with pretty lakes.

It's 30 minutes drive from Legoland Windsor, making it one of the closest holiday parks we've found. It's also one of the cheapest places to stay near the theme park.

On-site facilities are quite basic but it's got fishing and gets reviews of around 8/10 from most customers on Booking.com or 3.5/5 on TripAdvisor, at the time of writing. 

The chalets are 2 and 3 bedroom, meaning they'll sleep between 4 and 8 people 

Price: We couldn't find 2021 prices but it was £805 for a week for a family of four in August 2020 staying in a 2 bedroom chalet

4. Benson Waterfront Leisure Park Oxfordshire (riverside, 40 minutes to Legoland)

Benson Waterfront Leisure Park is further north than most of the other accommodation in this guide, so it’s a good one if you fancy a day wandering around Oxford as well as a day or two at Legoland. Oxford is only 20 minutes away (although getting into the city is notoriously slow by car) or Legoland is about 40 minutes drive.

The site is fairly small and has lodges with hot tubs which sit alongside the River Thames. You can even hire a boat or a canoe if you don’t think it will end with siblings attempting to push each other in the river because of a dispute about who got the last croissant at breakfast.

Fishing is another option, which may the clincher if you’re trying to persuade a spouse that they really would enjoy a trip to Legoland.

There’s also a waterfront cafe which is open in the evening during the summer.

The park scores very well with reviewers (about 4.5/5 on most sites). It’s not so convenient for Peppa Pig World or Chessington World of Adventures. Expect a drive of about 1hr 10m to get to either.

Price: £1099 for a week in a Southwold 2 Lodge with a hot tub for a family of four in August 2021

5. Hayling Island Holiday Park Hampshire (1hr 20m to Legoland, lots to do onsite)

Alright, I admit I'm getting a bit short on ideas for holiday parks near Legoland by this point. 

This one is a long way away (1hr 20m by car) but it is one of the nearest cheap caravan holiday parks to Legoland and it's also near to the coast so you could make it a day out from a beach holiday.

Hayling Island Holiday Park is run by Parkdean Resorts, which is a big chain of caravan parks with dozens of sites across the UK. Reviews are about 3.5/5 on TripAdvisor or about 7/10 on Hoseasons. 

​
Onsite you'll find indoor and outdoor swimming pools, kids' clubs, evening entertainment and various sports.

Price: £709 for a week in a Havant caravan, for a family of four in August 2021

Price comparison of 5 holiday parks near Legoland Windsor

Our price comparison just looked at the price for a family of two adults and two junior school aged children for a week during the peak summer season in August 2021. We didn't include any extras and picked the cheapest accommodation available at the time of searching. We carried out our searches in November 2020. You may get a better price by waiting for last minute deals, or booking long in advance.

From cheapest to most expensive:
  1. Hayling Island Holiday Park - £539
  2. California Chalet and Touring Park ​ - £805 (2020 prices)
  3. Edgeley Holiday Park - £885
  4. Benson Waterfront Leisure Park - £1099
  5. Tilford Woods Lodge Retreat - £1225

​Staying at Legoland Resort Hotel or Legoland Castle Hotel

For the full Legoland experience, you can stay onsite at one of the two resort hotels: 
​
  • Legoland Resort Hotel has rooms themed around Lego Friends, Ninjago, Pirates and Adventure. It's also got a Lego splash pool and a restaurant.
  • Legoland Castle Hotel has rooms themed around knights and wizards. They also do things like meet and greet with Lego characters​.

For comparison, we looked for a three night break including two days entry to Legoland in August 2021 for a family of four. Legoland Castle Hotel was £1247 whilst Legoland Resort Hotel was £1007 for a Pirate/Adventure themed room or £1187 for a Lego Friends themed room. ​

Those are just the minimum prices without any extras. There are regularly deals and offers which mean you can get special prices on Legoland Resort breaks.
