Wonderful site

We arrived on a Sunday following the COVID 19 lockdown easing . Social distancing was in place from entering the site and very well organized. We could choose our own pitch but most were taken as fully booked , we ended up by the road on a grass pitch , previous reviews had said to avoid these pitches because of the road noise but I have to say that it didn’t bother us and we had the biggest pitch that we have ever seen in our 3 years as Motorhome owners . It was brilliant . All facilities spotless and constantly being cleaned and sanitized. Only 2-3 people allowed in the shower block at any one time . We loved this site and can’t wait to return. I would say though that if you are slow walkers like us then the walk into Henley is more like 40 minutes than 20 !!! But you can easily catch the bus

Great location for Henley

We arrived on the Sunday and they were fully booked. We were told to find a pitch and then let them know the number. Henley is about a 15 minute walk along the path, where you'll find lots of shops, pubs etc. There are Thames path walks all over the river side which was lovely. We were there to put the boats in which was great. There are many public slipways around the area. Noise wise, it is near a busy road so try and pick a pitch further back if possible. Also the barrier needs oiling as it constantly squeaks on opening and closing. As for as the facilities I can't comment on cleanliness as I use my own, especially at the minute as we're in a pandemic. I would recommend this site though as we had a lovely time.

Coronavirus Review

Just got back from 4 nights at Members only Henley Four Oaks Club site, Thurs – Mon. This very pleasant and green site was full at around 75 vans. The wardens were very, friendly, helpful and engaging keeping the site and the sole toilet block clean and sanitised during this current Coronavirus pandemic. This was very reassuring and we felt safe throughout our stay. There is plenty of road noise all over the site for those who are more sensitive when sleeping but the site is very well located for walking the mile, 20 minutes, into Henley along the tarmac footpath from the site gate. The edge is a little overgrown in places, probably down to current council staffing re maintenance, and has street lighting for about 2/3 the way along Marlow Road. The road traffic is very busy and fast despite it being 40/30 mph and this made us super carful on our way home in the dark. There are busses every 20 minutes passing the site gate in each direction. Henley is very pleasant with a good section of small shops, 2 supermarkets, eating and drinking establishments and the fantastic River Thames with all the boating/walking that comes with it. For those interested in how the site toilet block worked during this pandemic I felt that it was used by many more members than I had anticipated with restricted numbers at any one time, 2 in the gents, 3 in the ladies, but I only ever queued twice for about 10 minutes on 2 occasions at 0730 time. I did see larger queues of around 6 deep a little later on in the morning but these went down quickly with the majority going to the toilet. Given the restrictions, beyond the Warden’s control, it seemed to work pretty well. There are no serviced pitches here so that may have added to the numbers using the facilities but all aspects of the facilities were being used by some members and larger families washing the pots etc. Overall we were very pleased for our first outing after the lockdown being eased.

Needs some TLC

Just home after a weeks stay. Great location, 20 minutes walk into town. Great base for visiting Marlowe, Windsor etc. Unfortunately we ended up with a pitch by the roadside and it was VERY noisy. Traffic non stop night and day, so much so that you cannot have a conversation while sitting outside the van. Thank heavens for earplugs otherwise we would have had no sleep at all. Used our own facilities this time so can’t comment on toilets/showers. For a site that is constantly in use and is very popular it is time some money was allocated to renew hardstandings and generally spruce the site up. It could have been done during the recent closure. It was our 4th visit to Henley and I think it’s time too look elsewhere - I don’t think I would risk ending up with a roadside pitch again. Finally, be aware that CMC sites are applying the reduction in VAT but it’s up to you to ask for a refund for the days you have been there from 15 July onwards - the wardens do not make it known that you can claim some money back if you’ve paid too much.

Showing signs of neglect.

I use Henley frequently, but on my recent 10 day visit in March I was disappointed to find the heating boiler for the toilet block was faulty with no heating. This was mentioned by another reviewer 4 days before my visit. A fortnight without heating, with no update for members or sign of an engineer is disappointing for a site of Henley's popularity. More serious was the massive pothole across the entire road by the exit point. This has gradually deteriorated over the winter months with no sign of attempt to repair it. It is now so bad that both axles on outfits have to negotiate this, risking damage to tyres and suspension. It doesn't take much to put some gravel in the potholes to attempt a temporary repair. This is in no way a reflection on the staff who has taken over for the summer season, but if no one mentions these things how can the site maintain standards for everyone. Apart from the above, a great site to visit.

Excellent location for Henley-on-Thames

Stayed here for 2 nights on a wet and very windy weekend. Site is nicely spread out but unfortunately we ended up on a pitch near the road which was quite busy, Thankfully it was quieter at night but the traffic started early on Sunday morning. Facilities were spotless and wardens helpful. No heating in shower block though whilst we were there, it didn't feel too cold in there though. 10 minute walk into Henley where there is lots of restaurants and quite a few shops to browse. Would have been nice to walk along the river but weather too bad and river overflowing on this particular weekend. We will go back and hopefully the weather will be better.

Great site. Very well located for Henley-on-Thames and the surrounding area.

Visited this week (January). The wardens are very helpful, the facilities spotlessly clean and the pitches a good size. You do need a 25m electric hook up cable (and tv) for some pitches which caught us out(lesson learned). There are a number of pitches next to the road which are probably quite noisy but also plenty away from the road. You can walk into Henley (15 to 20 minutes) and access the Thames tow path. Best walk is to Marsh lock. Greys Court is nearby and worth a visit (National Trust). The Giggling Squid in Henley was great for Thai food but busy so worth booking. For coffee Berry’s was excellent. There is loads of choice for eating and drinking in Henley-on-Thames. We stayed for 2 nights but left with things still to do so we will be going back.

Well worth the visit

First visit to this site, and very impressed. Location very good for walking into Henley, 15 minutes along a pavement. The site was well laid out, lots of space between pitches, and well lit in the evening. Aerial connection on the hook up post, good reception. Toilet block spotless and heated. Wardens are very helpful, and always available. Some slight background noise from the road, but considering the location to Henley-on-Thames, to be expected. Will definitely be back in the summer.

Clean and Peaceful but poor network signal

There is little to fault about this site. Access is straightforward directly off a main road and pitches are well spaced and kept free of debris. There is a motorhome service area and other water and waste points across the site. The facilities are fairly modern, pleasantly warm and as expected, kept clean. The wardens clearly work hard and were very pleasant and easy to talk to. Henley itself has character, about a mile away from the site and the Thames is accessible for walking and sightseeing. Buses are quite frequent to Oxford, Reading and High Wycombe. The club Wifi is good. The only fault I found was the poor to sometimes non existent phone signal which finally drove me to cut short my visit here. I'm with 'Three' . Other networks may fair better
