### Staying at Stroud Farm CL
For this weekend trip, we pitched up at **Stroud Farm CL** located in Holyport, just outside of Maidenhead. If you are into motorhoming or caravanning, Certificate Locations (CLs) are a fantastic find, and this one was an absolute bargain at **only £10 a night**! It’s a peaceful spot and makes for a brilliant, cost-effective base if you are looking to explore Berkshire and the surrounding areas without breaking the bank on accommodation.
### Heading into Windsor: Castle and the Changing of the Guard
After our relaxing weekend start at the farm, we made our way over to Windsor. No trip to the area is complete without taking in the historic sights, so we headed straight for **Windsor Castle**.
While our stay at the campsite was wonderfully cheap, the same could not be said for our royal sightseeing—as we definitely **spent a fortune visiting Windsor Castle**! However, stepping inside the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world is quite an experience. We timed our visit to take in the iconic **Changing of the Guard**, a must-see British tradition filled with pageantry, marching, and music that really brings history to life.
### Key Takeaways
* **Budget-Friendly Camping:** You can still find great spots like Stroud Farm CL in Holyport for just £10 a night if you know where to look.
