 There were four familys in our group alltogether, We all arrived on a Friday afternoon the park wasnt full , We had all booked electric hook up points in field 1. We got to field 1 and there wasnt enough space for us all close enough to the points due to tents that were not paying for electric using the hook -up area , This was sorted out in the end and we could pitch our tents together. On the Fridy night we were told to keep any music off and talking down to whispers by the security patrol which we thought was a fair but firm request. However on the Saturday night they did not say anything to the partygoers on the other side of the field that went on till 2am. COME ON SWISS FARM .Other than that we had a good time dodging the rain. Warning - field 1 floods badly when the heavy rain comes down so dont forget your wellies campers.

Fab site, great pool, cold but clean cost 75p per child adult 1.50. Clean toilets/showers in the morning, but could do with extra cleaning when the site is extra busy. No shop for provisions except camping bits and pieces but you can easily walk into town. Will be back.

Although early in the season Swiss Farm was pretty busy but we had a great stay in Field 1. With the Aspen we need a big pitch and Swiss Farm basically allowed us to pick our pitch on the fence line where the EHU points are. Reception was very efficient. Lots of family / friends groups but the noise rule was generally observed after 10pm (hi to Surrey Wings and the Happy Wanderers CCC).
Toilets and showers were clean with plenty of hot water but a bit of a walk if you are over the far side of the field. Washing up area was great and the wisteria over the trellis looked lovely.
Good fishing reported on the lake and good dog walking areas off the field. Plenty of room for the kids to play including the adventure play park. The whole site was clean and Eric was around daily to empty bins. Outdoor pool was not open (opens 1st June) but looked nice and inexpensive. Reasonable prices in the bar with and sport on TV and two pool tables. Small shop in reception for camping essentials but not groceries.
Car entry is by a swipe card so remember to give it back when you leave to get your £10 deposit back. Shops in Henley are close by with a large Tesco on the Reading road. Boat hire on the Thames seemed popular and lots of pubs and eateries in town. Imagine the site would get very busy for Henley Regatta as the official fields are across the road.
Booking strongly advised to get EHU and good pitches. Overall a very nice site and we'll be back.

Great site within walking distance of Henley. Good cycling following Thames path along river but the reason we chose this site was proximity to Legoland, about half an hours drive from here. On site facilities are good with big shower cubicles,useful when showering 2 small children.
Swimming pool went down well with our 5 and 7 year olds as did the well equipped playground. We would definitely return.

Each pitch had its own little area so no confusion over whose space was whose etc. Tidy and well trimmed grass and bushes.
The facilities were immaculate and were cleaned regularly.
Didn't go in the pool as although the weather was lovely it was still early in the year to brave an outside pool!
Visited lego land great but be warned my 9 & 8 year olds want to go again and deny ever going as they were only little!
Would recommend we ended up staying an extra 2 days!

We arrived later than we'd hoped, and it was going dark. There is good security at the camp site, a large barrier goes across the entrance, which can only be opened with a special key, given to you when you visit reception. We were directed to a large field, surrounded on two sides by dense hedges / trees giving good shelter. There was some sort of water feature directly behind the hedge, and this did lead to the ground being rather damp. The site is quite commercial, there are static caravans for hire, and bed and breakfast in the main building. However this does mean there is a good heated swimming pool, a quite lively bar, and plenty to keep the kids amused. The site has excellent toilet and shower facilities, both being clean and spacious. There is a washing up area, laundry facilities and chemical disposal areas. All areas of the site seemed to well looked after, clean and well organised. The best thing about the site is it's proximity to Henley on Thames. It only a 5 minute walk into the town, with all it's shops, pubs, and restaurants. Or you can take the slightly longer ten minute walk down the river Thames, and along in to town. Despite it's location, it remains quiet and gives the feeling of being in the middle of the countryside. Henley itself of course, has so much to offer, with the focus being on the river. I would imagine at Regatta time the campsite is absolutely packed, but Henley is a great place to visit at any time of the year, if you want to avoid the crowds! All in all I would definitely recommend this site if you fancy checking out Henley and the surrounding area. It is slightly more expensive than some sites, but worth it.

Quite a big site and very busy when full. Bit of a trek to the toilet in the night if you at the bottom far corner of field 3 ( I think ) and some late night noise from club on the Caravanning and Camping site adjacent.
Good facilities, except no shop but you can leave your freezer blocks in the freezer in reception, and is walking distance of Henley, although you need to walk along a very busy road.There is a bus stop at the entrance to the site on the main road for trips further afield.The washing facilities by the serviced caravan pitches were fab and included a bath ! Worth the extra bit walk during the day. Wooden play area for kids in field 2, as well as the fishing lake , swimming pool and club house.
We only live about 8 miles away but it's lovely to come for a couple of nights just to get away.

Pleasant site about ½ mile out of Henley in the wonderful Buckinghamshire countryside. There are a number of fields, some with seasonal pitches, some for caravans and some mixed. We stayed in the ‘big’ field which was mainly tents, we managed to get one of the few electric hook ups in this field so check when you book if you need one.
Friendly staff, bar with small shop, kids play area and pool (shut when we were there, but we used it the previous year) which I think is £1 per person.
Toilets and washing facilities in the field we were using were very tired but there was a sign saying they were in the process of updating the whole site and it’s facilities. There was a more modern block at the end of the seasonal field.
Henley is 15 minutes walk, with the river, pubs and plenty of shops. Similar to a number of towns in the area, it is very posh. Marlow is just down the road in the opposite direction and Maidenhead is fairly close by.
Overall an easy going, fairly large site, note: the main field slops, getting progressively steeper towards the top.

After looking for a campsite with a swimming pool (as our 9 year old daughter loves swimming), we decided to stay at Swiss Farm. Which turned out to be an excellent choice.
We spent three glorious days at Swiss Farm, making the most of the facilities which were excellent.
Reception was very efficient and had us booked in no time. Vehicle access is via a barrier system and you receive a swipe card on booking in (£10 deposit).
We stayed in Field 2, as this was close to the Children's Play Area and the swimming pool.
The pool was excellent and just the thing to cool us off, as the weather was very hot.
The shower, washing and washing-up facilities were more than adequate, clean, tidy and the water was hot. We used both the facilities adjacent to Field 1 and Field 2 as we were pitched in-between and found both to be fine and we never had to queue once.
The centre of Henley-on-Thames is a short walk away (10 minutes) and has the normal shops and restaurants. Waitrose is close and ideal for all food and drink provision. There is also a Tesco store on the Reading Road, but you may want to drive to this, as it is heading out of town.
Parking in Henley is really cheap for short stays (40p per hour and free after 17:00).
We would recommend the Catherine Wheel pub, for a reasonably priced evening out, as it is part of the J D Wetherspoon chain.
A couple of downsides to the site, firstly the campsite is on the Marlow Road and the traffic noise is noticeable, but bearable and it does ease off at night. Also, Henley must be on the flightpath for Heathrow as the number of aeroplanes flying over the site was quite remarkable. However, again the noise is bearable and eases off after 10pm. I would also say that there is something quite soothing about sitting out in the glorious sunshine, with a glass of chilled wine in hand, watching the planes circle gently overhead.
Sorry for the long review, but before we camp anywhere, we always read and take on board the experiences of others and find the information really useful.
Swiss Farm International is a great site and we will definitely return in the future.

Excellent site, well run and clean/tidy. Expensive bar (charged £10 for 4 bottles of Lager from the site Bar.sorry I am from the North East and I don't pay that!). If you want a lovely quiet time visit mid-week as this site gets very busy at weekends during the Summer.
