 My Partner, 2YO and I stayed here for two nights at the beginning of July, mainly to check if I 'The Princess' could hack camping, if my toddler would behave (without having to drive 30 mins home in the middle of the night) and also to check over our kit. This place came highly recommended by a number of people on a local Facebook Grp (Wokingham Gossip Girls). I thought - let's do it. I can always drive home if it's not meant to be.
Well it's impeccably clean and well-ordered; I felt at ease straight away! Every single sink and washbasin had a J-cloth so you could clear up after yourself (great touch); signs encouraged you to use the squeegees and mops in the bathrooms and shower blocks. The facilities are fantastic, there was even a cubicle for families to shower/ bath and dress in - ensuring the little ones cannot run away :). All excellent and well thought out. The staff are friendly, approachable, helpful and smiley, the café and bar are comfortable and the food lovely - especially those Fish and Chips.
It's the little touches that got me and I'm hocked. I just hope my next experience is as positive as Swiss Farm. We will be back!

Regarding Swiss Farm Camping & Caravan site in Henley on Thames, this site is made for Families & Couples of all ages, it has everything. Spotlessly clean toilets & showers. A swimming pool that can be enjoyed by all ages, a cafe/bar with fantastic food and drink great breakfasts, The staff are very efficient, friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble. Plenty for the children to do with swing park and a large grass area for running about or for games. The town of Henley is a 10 min. , walk away also the bus stops outside the gate. There is also nice walks riverside.

Our first visit to this site.
It was full but did not seem overcrowded.
Very pleasant and helpful staff.
Very clean with staff regularly going around to check all, is okay.
We had a fully serviced pitch which was higher up so good views of the site. Services all worked well including the wifi.
I did not use the facilities as we have our own but looked in and they seemed clean and of good standard.
Pool area looked nice but we did not use.
Cafe was not the cheapest but good size portions and fresh do no complaints.
Dog walking area very good.
Ideal situation to walk into Henley.

This Site is exceptional, this was our fourth visit. It really has it all. The toilet/shower blocks are immaculate, there is also a bath for children. There are disabled facilities too. It is within easy walking distance to the town of Henley on Thames with numerous shops, bars and restaurants, although you need not leave the site, because the Cafe and Bar offer fantastic food and drink at very reasonable prices. There is a shop on site. The Bus stops at the entrance to the site go to Reading and Marlow. The huge outdoor heated Swimming pool has toilets and changing rooms. This has to be the UK's BEST SITE.

The site is okay but nothing to rave over. We had a super pitch which to be honest was a bit of a disappointment. Right at the top of the site on a steep incline. Spent an hour trying to find bits to level the caravan off, so bad was the incline. Not the biggest pitches either. Caravan and canopy with no room for the car.
The pitches are built, I think for European caravans as the drainage, power and water are on the right as look at the pitch which meant the caravan had to go in front first. No big deal providing you have a mover. Make sure if you do go in front first that you have the mover engaged when you leave otherwise your caravan will move such is the slope.
The drains stank to be honest despite flushing them with cold water and this became an everyday job during the stay.
The reception staff are friendly but were constantly on the phone taking bookings which created queues in reception. There was a generator lorry there the whole time we were there running 24/7 as there seemed to be a power problem.
Leaving the site is very odd too. They put a barrier across in the evening and its not moved till 8am. I prefer an early getaway especially when driving 230 miles home. I got caught in a lot of traffic in Cheshire on the way home that made what should have been a five hour trip into a seven hour ordeal. We have stopped at many sites down the years but none with such strict rules on leaving. We visited the caravan club site up the road and they will allow you in and out 24/7 and will be our base next year when we visit the area.
The Swiss Farm site seemed packed to the rafters both on the camping field and on the caravan pitches. The caravan pitches had very little space between them unlike the pictures I had seen when making the booking.
Plenty of things to do in the area. We went to London (Twyford-Paddington) and a day return plus underground ticket was £18. Henley has some lovely restaurants too and nearby Marlow is lovely.

Stayed here for five nights wish it could have been more. The site was in a great location to walk into Henley. We found the site very well maintained. The toilet blocks spotless. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming, the cafe and bar were excellent although we did not eat there. The pool area looked very inviting although the weather was not, and the WiFi was great. We will make a return visit in the not too distant future

Very enjoyable stay. The campsite is ideally located to walk in to Henley on Thames.
Toilet blocks very clean, small children's playground at the back of the cafe. Staff very friendly and helpful. Each pitch has plenty of room, and mainly flat, so not an issue with weather.
Would recommend.
Large Tesco about 5 mins drive through Henley.

We stayed here for two nights, mainly to check over our kit before the Easter holidays, but also to get a feeling for the sort of place that wins AA campsite awards.
It's impeccably clean and well-ordered, to the extent that I'd probably feel guilty about sneezing. Every single sink and washbasin had a J-cloth so you could clear up after yourself; signs encouraged you to use the squeegees and mops, and to phone the wardens to complain about noise. The facilities are excellent and well thought out, even to the extent that there is ancillary lighting in the loos so you're not pitched into inky blackness when the PIR cuts out. The shop was reasonably well stocked given the time of year, and the café and bar are comfortable. There are smart, wall-mounted TVs here, but they are 'only to be used for selected sporting events' and strictly nothing else. And there's the rub: this is a site which does what it does extremely well, and no doubt has developed its model over long years catering to discerning customers. There were rows and rows of very smart caravans and more class A RVs than I would have believed existed in the whole country, so it's getting that bit right. Personally, I prefer a bit of randomness and flexibility: the experience here is just too antiseptic for my taste. Having said that, the staff are really friendly and approachable, as well as highly efficient.
We were on a 'deluxe tent pitch' with 16A EHU. The advertised water didn't materialise as the taps were dry. The main field is on a significant, slides-you-down-the-bed slope. There are a couple of pitches at the bottom which are a bit flatter, but I understand the EHU is a bit feeble there. Likewise the other, smaller camping field: flat, but 6 - 10A EHU. The ground is good, but the grass was thin for our visit and the mud extremely sticky. There is plenty of wildlife, and some handsome pigs in a paddock at the top of the slope. At the far end of the field is Henley's sewage treatment works, which occasionally belches out a soup-thick aroma of upper-middle-class poop. A jet aeroplane came over at 7:30 each morning and another ten minutes later, but otherwise it was very quiet. WiFi is free but was very hit and miss during our stay, even though we were the only people on the camping field.
There are two children's play areas which were a bit tired, but it looked as though new equipment was being installed.
Henley itself is the big attraction here - it's a lovely town and it was great to visit outside regatta week for once.

Fabulous site with friendly helpful staff and easy access into Henley. We spent a long weekend here in order to spend time with our son who lives in Reading. Used both train and bus to travel to and from Reading and they used the train to meet us in Henley. Advised staff on arrival of visitors to the site - they could not have been more helpful and didn't charge as the site was not busy.
Did not spend much time on site during our visit but facilities were clean and well maintained although felt the 3 showers available in the block nearest us would have been stretched during busy times considering the size of the camping field.
Will definitely be back - one of the nicest sites we have visited.
