I don't know what else the wardens were supposed to have done. They pointed out the best and worst pitches and the weather was outside their control. They couldn't contour up more pitches.
You got a refund without argument and that's something you'd likely not have got on a commercial site.

I just read this because I am thinking of visiting Henley; I've been before, but it was many years ago. As TW states, probably the wardens were hamstrung and had few options and sometimes these things are unavoidable and customers must understand that (there are always some who never will). HOWEVER, the reviewer is correct that a lot of heartache would have been avoided had arrivals been contacted as soon as possible in the morning to be advised of the situation. For me there's no excuse not doing that. It was extremely fortunate that there is the site next door; if such a thing had happened elsewhere options might have been to put up with it or drive all the way home. I would not have been impressed.
Having said that, I do think the reviewers other complaints are very much coloured by their experience with the pitch problem. I do not recall Henley being even remotely cramped compared to many sites; the road noise was not to my recollection an issue and anyway would they not have had just the same noise on the adjacent site; and almost every site has the odd pitch with neighbours on three sides. Commercial sites are usually much less forgiving when it comes to space and neighbour proximity.
