Excellent- as long as pitched away from the main road
We were heading to the Cotswolds from the South coast and decided to stop at Henley as an overnight stay.
After driving through this beautiful town we decided to see if we could stay longer. Despite checking the CAMC website the night before and it showing as fully booked the pleasant and helpful warden was able to offer us a pitch for the duration and canceled our onward booking in the Cotswolds.
The site is not large, has one well kept toilet and shower block and has generally good sized and level pitches.
Our only mistake was to pitch alongside the road- please please please avoid any pitches on the road side if you want a quiet stay. The road was extremely noisy at times with bikes and noisy cars speeding up and down. It was generally quiet after midnight but even sitting out during the day time was unpleasant experience.
We walked to the other side of the site which sides onto pleasant countryside and it was such a better experience.
I will be getting one of those pitches next time.
The wardens were very friendly and helpful. Our stay was over the jubilee weekend and we were offered a glass of sparkling wine, won a box of sweets in the raffle and appreciated the hard work the wardens had gone to, erecting bunting and balloons.
The little shop on site sells the essentials- milk, bread, ice cream, baked beans etc.
Henley is around 1 mile from the site and an easy, level walk on pavement into the town. Henley is beautiful- upmarket and with a wide variety of shops and eateries. The closest supermarket is a large Waitrose and a small high street Sainsbury's.
A walk along the river is recommended. There is so much to see and do in the local area. Enjoy!
