A very unique site
We actually stayed on the Cricket Bat field site which is operated by the same owners and just a few hundred yards further down the river, but I also took the chance to have a good look around the Island site and make a video of both sites (links below) which can show them far better than I can describe them.

The Cricket Bat field doesn't have the uniqueness of the Island site in that it is not fully encircled
by the Thames, but it is spacious, has plenty of riverside pitches, and is quieter being further back from the road and the pub etc. The downside is that the toilet emptying and bins are back at the island site but not really a problem. It's used for rallies and small group hire but to be honest it's such a large field with rows of trees to break up the view that it still felt almost empty with the dozen or so vans there when we stayed.
The Island site is closer to the activity around the pub, the bridge and camp site on the opposite bank of the river. It still has plenty of space and riverside pitches and of course is limited to five vans.
Both great sites to visit for a unique experience.
