 We've just returned from 2 scorching weeks at Swiss Farm. The weather was fantastic, but only a part of the overall experience. Having spent a number of holidays under canvas in the UK, and only staying at 8-10 star campsites, we feel entitled to judge Swiss Farm on its comparative merits.
Quite simply, Swiss Farm is head and shoulders above the rest! It helps that Henley-on-Thames is a beatuful town, with excellent quality shops, bars and restaurants, and the beautiful river Thames flowing through it. Even better, is that the town is easily accessed via a short walk from the campsite along a safe pavement.
But the campsite is the most important part of any 2 week stay. At Swiss Farm, the basic requirements for comfortable camping are exceptionally well catered for. Not having children with us, we chose to occupy a site away from the main camping field and were rewarded by having one of the many extremely large pitches, Water and electrics were all conveniently close.
The toilet facilities are immaculate, especially when the campers choose to follow the helpful instructions to use the mops and J-cloths provided to tidy up the shower and sink areas after use. A simple courtesy to other campers, but not followed by all. Thankfully, the regularity of cleaning duties by the staff meant that standards were kept high. Top marks!
The fishing lake provided sport of the highest order in beautiful settings. The size and quality of the fish I caught, is testament to the understanding and husbandry of this fragile environment. Even though I'm not a birdwatcher, I could not help but notice the number of different species on daily show, from red kites to herons and kingfishers.
A lovely swimming pool, with a top notch children's play area next to the Cafe, means that parents can relax and watch their kids in safety and comfort, with the friendly bar-staff ever attendant, and not simply 'Passengers'.
In summary however, the key to the success of Swiss Farm is simply its staff. They set their own personal standards at the highest possible levels, and never relent. Cheerful, helpful and always willing to go the extra mile (despite the daily challenges set by the odd thoughtless camper), they are a credit to Joseph the owner. From reception to litter collection (and I have NEVER seen bin-areas so immaculate!), they are unfailingly dilligent in their endeavour to ensure that everybody has the best experience possible. They certainly delivered for us, and more!
I've probably let the cat out of the bag here, and won't be able to get a space next year, but what the hell, they deserve it!

The plusses: First rate site. All facilities top notch. A bit pricey at £23 a night but well worth it for a site of this quality. Showers are a good size and free with plenty of hot water. (Can we please stop this pathetic carping about push buttons in showers. They wouldn't be necessary if idiots didn't leave them running). Henley town centre about 15min walk away. Lovely riverside walks. Good pubs. Good restaurants. Now for the minuses - simply none.

Fantastic location a short walk into amazing henley and all it's pubs shops restaurants and riverside walks. The pitches are on a hill to max space, it was half full when we were there so easy to pitch but I can imagine it may be a little tricky? The facilities were great very clean and modern. What stood out was the beautiful planting around the site and the washup area - lovely touch!
There was a good new looking bar/cafe which we didn't use, the cafe sold paninis but it felt like they could do with selling more substantial food with the size and look of the place -would have happily tried a meal if they did this, also saw lots of pizza delivery vans and can understand why cafe don't cash in?! The pool was a little cold even on a very hot day apparently it is usually warmer though, an outdoor pool in a uk campsite is a real coup though :) Great dog walking fields backing on to site - dogs only allowed off peak season which is a little odd (we have both so this rules us out for the rest of the summer ). We stayed at the top of the site, which I liked- backed onto open fields where you could see pigs and piglets and lots of rabbits frolicking about. Also the marlow road is busy, didn't hear much at all but the further back the better I am sure!
A great campsite, great town will return. Off peak with dog!

Our second visit here, and it is still one of the best, and much cheaper than most of this sort of quality.
The welcome is fine, all done very efficiently. I don't agree that they aren't friendly. It's true that staff don't greet you every time they see you as if you're a long-lost relative (like on some sites) but that's how it should be - you always get a smile and a hello, nothing over-the-top.
The pitch was excellent, almost perfectly level with smooth gravel. Wherever you are, you are close to water, a grey water waste point and a chemical disposal point. All the roads are well maintained, no holes. All the hedges and trees are kept lovely. The bird life is extraordinary here, various birds of prey all no doubt there because of the ten million rabbits you can see every day at 6am. The bright green wild parakeets are fantastic to watch.
The toilet/shower blocks are immaculate, as good as any I've experienced. Some reviews have complained about cold showers. Go early when there's no queue and they are fine. Go at 9. 30am and the hot water has been used up. No problem then.
The lake is lovely, wildlife aplenty. Carp over 20 lb that take some catching but they are there. I caught a 14 and a 10.
Downsides. Only little ones. The bar is a bit gloomy, with expensive drinks and iffy beer, but there's a lot of pubs a short walk away, so no problem.
They have a newish mower that's got to be the loudest mower in the world. It howls at incredible decibels, so if your area is being mown, you need to go out for a while or you'd go deaf.
Playground and pool not tested.
We'll be going back there - one of the very few sites we'd revisit.

Just back from a stay in glorious sunshine at Swiss Camp. Their camping field which contained adventure playground was out of bounds as field was still really boggy - I can imagine just how bad it must have been at it's worst a couple of months ago.
Facilities are impeccable - nicest/largest toilet/shower blocks. Spotless, spacious and plenty big enough for this time in the season. Cafe is great (fully stocked bar, but not open in the evening. Not sure why not, surely that would be a great income on chilly nights?!)
I signed up for 2 days wireless for £5 (not free as per listing) so I could get some work done in the evenings - unfortunately, I had limited connectivity in the evening, not sure whether this was down to number of people connected, or poor signal strength.
Location was fantastic - so nice to be able to wander into Henley - trip on a boat, feed the ducks, (and 12 ducklings!) and plenty to do close-by. Noise from adjacent road made us feel not quite middle-of-nowhere, although site was really quiet at night.
Individual spots offer little privacy, more of a communal feel to the different areas. Water points / electric points (even TV points if you're into that kind of camping). This place is definitely more of a 5-star hotel type of camping, than your average back-country camping. There were a number of enormous winnabagos/RVs that looked quite imposing on some of the pitches - gave our little VW a bit of an inferiority complex.
We're only an hour away from this site, and children have already begged us to go again for a weekend sometime soon. Fingers crossed the field can be drained, and of course, can't wait to try the swimming pool. Loved it, and will be back again.

A really great site with the added bonus of all that Henley offers just 10' walk away. Very easy to find and access. Facilities very good, not old and everywhere very clean and tidy. Pleasant and helpful staff, nice coffee shop. My hard pitch was more than big enough for the cvan & car and right next to the hook-up and water; pitches are very well spaced with grass in between.
Would certainly recommend it and stay there again. Good resto: Olive tree

We had a lovely weekend at Swiss Farm, in the Spring sunshine. The new coffee shop is very good and as we sat outside enjoying our cappuccinos, we watched red kites circling above us. The site is an easy 10 minute walk into Henley - which is quite delightful, and has a mouthwatering array of pubs, restaurants and bistros. I'm sure we'll be back.

Visited here last weekend, and will definitely be back. Toilet/shower blocks were fantastic, there is even a half-bath if you wish. The park was lovely and quiet, no rowdies. There's a lovely wee fishing lake, and some pigs/cows/sheep that loved being petted. We stayed later on Sunday, and they didn't charge us to laze around in the amazing sunshine. Henley is worth a visit, it's very quaint and quintessentially English. Everyone was very friendly!

Another excellent site which we found. Only a short distance from the beautiful Henley on thames. All facilities were excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All clean and tidy. My only complaint is that when you have a shower, the part you stand in to get dry does tend to get very wet, so when you leave the shower this water gets walked out the cubicle and makes the floor wet. I was afraid I was going to slip. Pipe music in the toilet block. As we are only 1hr 30mins drive away from here I'm sure we will be back for a wk end.
