 Very good value for money, excellent location about 10 walk into town. Buses also available to go other places of interest.
Shower block and toilets always clean and we were there when it was raining.
Bar clean and reasonably priced.
Swimming pool £1.50 adults £1.00 children, pleasantly warm enough to swim even in the temperatures we had in our five days there.
The biggest hanging baskets I have ever seen and pleasant gardens to have a drink in.
Will definitely go back and one to recommend

We enjoyed a 3 nights stay at this site, Fri, Sat & Sun. Sat was quite busy as to be expected. We stayed on the large camping field with EHU, No complaints at all ( except for the weather of course!) a 15 min walk into Henley and a 10 minute drive to Marlow. All facilities are very good, Really no complaints.
Had a quick drink in the bar which was basic but did the job, great I imagine for children as very near the (rather small) pool. A small shop in reception sold some of the essentials but there is a small shop within 5-10 mins walk of the site and Waitrose is a 15 min walk.
We were not bothered by any of the staff although the man strimming was slightly annoying but proved that the maintenance is kept on top of.
All in all worth a visit.

Had a lovely weekend in June with two other families (in their own tents).
Amazingly this site is almost invisible from the road, in fact the entrance is not very prepossessing but soon opens out into a beautiful well-laid-out site.
The camping field is very large and we were allowed to pitch pretty much anywhere, one side does back onto some sort of water treatment works which was noisy (though not at all smelly), so we chose the top of the field, and despite a bit of a slope it was fine, (just turned our beds to head up the hill!) with a nice view across the site and beyond. No late-night noise even from large-ish parties (I think the 'no-groups' rule on the website is aimed more at stag/hen parties than groups of families, of which there were plenty).
Ground was smooth and well mowed. Facilities were top-notch, beautifully-kept toilet and shower blocks and washing up facilities. Nice open air pool was popular with the kids, all-day ticket for a small fee.
Henley town centre is a 10-minute (less if you are without toddlers) walk away, lots of nice places to eat and drink, Zizzi in particular was very child-friendly.
Site staff were helpful and friendly, this is a lovely site in a great location, we'd definitely go back.

Spent a week at Swiss Farm and thoroughly enjoyed it. Arrived 2hrs early but we were still allowed on to a pitch within 10mins of arrival. The site has a security barrier which operates by swipe card (£10 refundable deposit req'd).
We had an EHU pitch at the end of one of the rows of pitches (the number of which escapes me!). We were on a corner right next to one of the shower/toilet blocks and next to the main tent field. I was initially a little dismayed to be so close to the toilet block but there turned out to be enough space for it not to be a nuisance. We simply erected our windbreak in a way that kept us nice and secluded.
There were 2 toilet blocks on site that I could see, the smallest and newest being the one we used. The two blocks also had washing up facilities. All the facilities were kept in excellent condition even at the busiest of times. The first weekend we were there was ladies regatta week so the campsite was very busy and some queueing was needed for the facilities however this is understandable at such a busy time. One criticism would be that I believe the large camping field could do with it's own facilities.
There are excellent entertainment facilities for children and adults alike. The pitches themselves are quiet and pleasent places to soak up the sun. There is a large sports field, swimming pool and playground to keep the kids happy and out of mischief. There is a bar but I didn't venture in so can't comment on how good it is.
We only had one day of bad weather but the rain was torrential! The site appeared to drain well as it is on a hill. The hard standing pitches looked to be very well constructed also. The pitches were generally a good size but some were a little small in depth for the larger caravan and motorhome outfits. I sat and watched an unfortunate soul struggling to get his twin axle caravan parked up as the combination of little room to manoeuvre and the slight incline had a smell of burning clutch entering the air! He finished up with the back window within a foot of the hedge and his jockey wheel pretty close to the access road.
The site is positioned perfectly as it is only a very short walk into Henley where there are plenty of shops and places to eat.
We would definitely stay there again.

On the whole a good site. I stayed at the top of the site on a hardstanding. The pitch was a little bit sloped and I needed to find a couple of wooden blocks to put under the front stabilisers - but not too bad. The toilet block by the reception was very good indeed in my opinion. When I was there, there was a site wide ban on electric heating which made it a bit cold at night. There is also an electric 'ration' of 7.5kwh per day (metered on the hook up point - this was March 2009 so it may have changed) which I found was only just enough to do everything. In fact I went over some days. There is an advertised charge of £1 per kwh over this limit, but to be honest, nobody ever charged me anything when I went over.
Two little annoyances - as I was there in early season and there weren't many people on site the bar seemed to close early if there wasn't much custom. This was the same with the reception.
It's a great site for a walk into Henley on Thames though, which is only a 10 minute walk away.

We loved this site. It was fabulously located within easy walking distance of Henley. Really very well maintained, large clean toilet blocks with no queues despite the site being busy. Nice children's play area but the highlight for the kids was the outdoor swimming pool. It was a good size, heated (ish) and had lots of grass and chairs around it.
The only negative we found was that the shop sells practically nothing - literally just a few crisps, chocolate bars and caravan basics such a toilet fluid. For milk, bread, charcoal or anything else there is a shop about 5 mins walk away. The website sounds quite strict with lots of rules but the site didn't feel like that. The only rule enforcing we saw was a man walking round at 11pm reminding people it was now quiet time. All in all it was one of the best sites we have been to and we would definitely return.

Beautiful site. So close to Henley on Thames but very peaceful and quiet. Henley itself is a beautiful town with good restaurants - we visited Lock Fyne Seafood restaurant which we really enjoyed.
Good facilities - the toilet blocks were very clean considering it was a bank holiday. We had electric hookup for our tent in the field.
Great little pool which was quite warm for England but it was a little noisy for my taste. I love it here. We took our bikes and had a lovely 5 mile ride along the Thames to Aston and back. Idyllic.

Have just returned from 3 night stay here in VW campervan with my son and was very impressed with the site. EHU pitch was large and we had a high hedge behind us and to one side for added privacy. Toilets and shower facilities very good, design of showers are fine, just put your clothes on the seat behind the screen in spacious cubicle and they stay perfectly dry. Bar area with nice outside seating was well maintained and swimming pool although small was also well kept and quite warm.
We were very lucky to have great weather all weekend - the play area has a few swings and a couple of climbing things for small kids, could benefit from some football goals on the field where the larger boys to get together and play a match.
Only other criticism would be that the young guys in the bar seemed understaffed - people buying drinks, ice creams or swimming pool tickets (inexpensive) all had to be served by same two chaps so a bit of a queue.
Would recommend site and will visit again - didn't notice any plane noise. Site very quiet with very little noise either after 10 pm or before 9.00 am.

We stayed for a long weekend here. Doesn't look too appealing when you first drive in because you look straight up at a row of fixed mobile homes but then you drive round the corner to the campsite reception, where we were quickly dealt with. To get in & out you have to go through a barrier, for a deposit they give you a swipe card which opens it at any time, otherwise if you want to come in you have to get the people in reception to do it. If you plan on going out by car and coming back in the later evening you need to get a card or you won't be able to get back in!
The campsite is on a terraced hill and our pitch was on the very top row. Although we didn't have any real view looking down the hill due to trees / hedges, behind us was a big field and no buildings, which was very nice. The pitches on this row were very generous in size, hardstanding with elec / water / drain / TV. We were able to get full freeview on the TV hookup, which was a bonus. To give you an idea of the size, we put our 21' caravan plus a large porch awning on the hardstanding, there was still enough room for us to park our Galaxy on the grass either to the left or the right of the unit, or in front of it, without getting in anyone else's way. All the services worked fine.
The site was very peaceful, certainly in the top row you don't really hear any road noise, the only loud noises were occasional jets on the circuit into Heathrow.
The facilities were fine. There's a main shower/toilet block where the showers were separate from the toilets - ie. If you want to go to the loo and then have a shower (or vice versa) you have to physically walk outside and into another door! Not quite sure why it's done this way because inside the areas are only separated by an 8' wall, it's completely open above that. Anyway, not really a problem. The cubicles were very spacious and the showers were nice & hot and very strong, the only problem was that there was no shower curtain and so nothing to stop the water spraying all over the floor - and a lot of the seat - of the changing area. I ended up piling everything, including my shoes, on the seat behind a little wall, otherwise it would all have got soaked. Really bad design. There's another smaller shower block at one end of the top row which had just been refurbished, I gave it a try but unfortunately they insisted on having the exterior doors propped open so the place was like a fridge. Maybe they've put some door closers on by now.
There's a bar down by reception with a pool table and I think they do some food but we didn't really try it because we ate & drank in town, it looked nice enough though.
If you have young children note that there isn't much for them to do on site, at least not until the outdoor pool opens in the summer.
The campsite is easy to find and very close to the town of Henley, probably about 10-15 mins walk from the town centre. Henley is a great place, lots of pubs & restaurants, plus being right on the Thames you can walk alongside the river. We walked along the river on the same side as the campsite, which was very nice but got a bit marshy after a while. Next day we cycled into town, crossed over the bridge and headed along the towpath, which is a very good bike ride and also very popular.
We had a really relaxing stay, the campsite & town had everything we wanted and I've already booked us in for another visit.

This site is in a great location well situated for walking into Henley. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars and the town is beautiful.
The campsite itself is nice. The pitches are level and a good size. The kids play area was adequate and very popular. The swimming pool, though not open at the time we visited looked very nice and had loungers and grassy areas where you could sunbathe. The bar was ok, though not particularly family friendly. The wash up facilities were good, plenty of hot water. The showers and toilets were of an excellent standard and were kept clean.
All this said though I do have one complaint. The staff! They really let this place down. Never have I been anywhere that has such unwelcoming staff. From the point of arrival we were met with a most sullen girl who gave us the impression that she really couldn't be bothered. This mood was the same in every other staff member we met. Not one of them smiled. On arrival, having pitched our tent we then found our EHU was not working. It took numerous attempts by us to get someone to look into the problem, they really didn't want to help.
I would return, purely because the site is only 20 minutes from home and is perfect for a weekend away though I really think the staff could do with a lesson in customer service.

When we arrived we were sent to a large field and could pick where to go.
Was a steep slope but pitch we chose for tent was ok. Large field behind for kids to run too.
Despite the horrible weather last summer it wasn't too muddy but the grass cuttings did seem to get every where - we also seemed to have quite a lot of ants come visit (perhaps we camped over an ants nest!). It didn't rain while we were there so no idea what it would be like in the rain.
At the end of the field there was some sort of water cleaning plant or something which I wouldn't have liked to have backed on to but we had the choice and so didn't - therefore I didn't notice it!
Lots of red kites - didn't notice any planes!
Price was very reasonable for 5 of us though that was in part as we didn't pay for our children - all under 5. Pool was nice - didn't realise you had to pay before we went but was cheap and didn't pay for the under 5s. Also they said the ticket lasted all day.
Easy walk to henley - our 3 yr old twins did it no problem. Lovely town - would like to go there for a meal without kids! Easy travel distance to windsor etc
Got quite busy for the bank holiday weekend as I guess most sites do had to queue for toilets, showers and washing and the quiet, no groups rule became a myth. That being said most people were quiet by 11pm.
However, I would recommend and will come again perhaps to use as a base to visit london next time.

We visited over an incredibly wet weekend and still enjoyed ourselves. The site is well located for beautiful walks along hills and the riverside and is close to shops & bars in Henley.
Although the rules seem strict they were relaxed in practice but no dogs anymore in high season. Several very clean wash blocks and good facilities.
We would definitely go back.

We visited here for the second time in three weeks as our bathroom is getting done! We visited Monday to Thursday, no problems getting a pitch. It rained this time (unlike the earlier visit when the sun shone the whole weekend) despite this, very quiet and tonnes of space.
We pitched in Field 1, some way from reception but still close to showers / loos / washing up area. There is always a queue in the morning for the (free) showers, and they could do with some updating but ok.
I love this site for the space, plus it's proximity to the ever-so-English town of Henley-on-Thames (10 mins walk if that.) Nice shops (Monsoon, Cath Kidston-y stuff for girlys, and decent pubs (The Angel, The Red Lion) which we found very accommodating as the heavens opened so we took shelter. A definite favourite.

Good site although large and not a quiet site as indicated. Good pool, play area and free space. Waitrose good, the site does not sell much of use which is surprising as the site is so large and commercial in other ways. Toilet block clean and good shower and washing up facilities. Really good location for exploring and access to London

Just got back from Swiss Farm. A lovely semi-rural site with good facilities - lovely, spacious showers, even a bath if you need one. We were sited near the children's playground which was fine as we were still quite far away from the play area.
Very close to Henley town centre - and Waitrose - so a great position. Lots of Red Kite to see flying around. Bit noisy at night but not from campers - there was a festival going on in the rugby club next door. So we could hear music playing until the early hours.
Didn't use the outside pool this time as it was rather full, but visited the bar which was very nice and friendly. We have previously visited Swiss Farm and will do so again no doubt.
