The rudest most aggressive site managers

The rudest site managers I have ever met in my entire time travelling! Arrived 12.45pm to be told to leave the site and return at 1pm. After a 3-hour journey asked if I could use the toilet before leaving and then was challenged aggressively by the partner at the toilet block thinking I was trying to hide there. I was then watched to make sure I left the site where I drove up the road for 3 minutes, turned around and checked back in....how pathetic! Totally spoilt my trip and experience of the site. I said to the manager that I had never been chased off a site before which she replied "there is a first for everything!" To be honest the road noise will keep you awake all night so stay at Swiss Farm or Hurley Riverside Park, better site and friendly site staff unlike these aggressive people!

Comment from the Club:

Thank you for your recent review.

In line with the majority of our Club campsites, the earliest arrival time at Henley Four Oaks is 1pm. This is to allow our site teams to complete key operational site tasks and have time for their lunch ahead of new arrivals check in at 1pm. If your journey is going better than expected, we do ask members to factor in a location where you can pull over and rest if you are going to arrive at a campsite prior to 1pm, motorway services or a layby for example.

The barrier at Henley Four Oaks Club Campsite requires a fob to operate it. We understand that as you had not checked in you were not in possession of a fob to gain exit therefore, a member of staff was needed to raise the barrier to enable you to depart and return for 1pm.

In respect of your comment about ‘being chased off the site’ the Site Manager had intended this to be said with a sense of humour, although he does understand how this may have been misconstrued under the circumstances. The Site Manager does apologise for any misunderstanding in his communication with you.

We do hope you enjoyed the remainder of your stay and all that the area of Henley On Thames has to offer and we look forward to welcoming you back to another Club campsite in the future.

So it's right next door to a road

but you know that when you book! A quick google will show you exactly where the site is - if you're looking for absolutely no traffic noise then this isn't the site for you. The road does quieten down overnight and both times I have stayed here I've been in pitches next to the road. Both times I have had a great night's sleep. Pitches are well spaced apart, and the site is well kept. Bathrooms are well equipped and spotlessly clean. I've booked again :)

Great campsite

What a cute site. Nice lay out that feels quite spacious and open. Wardens very helpful and friendly on arrival and around site. Probably most friendly wardens we have met in our 12 years. Nice walk into Henley, the road is fine out of the campsite and had a pedestrian path, takes about 10-15 minutes. Little enclosed dog walk which is a nice touch, but what is it with owners who seem to think that the dog poop from their dog magically picks itself up and puts itself in the bin??? about 5 steps away. 30 seconds into playing with our dogs and bang stepped in dog poo! Selfish people! The area isn't big enough to take your eye off your dog to not see it doing it's business. And in all honesty there's no excuse, that's what you are taking them in there for so why on earth aren't you watching to pick it up! Honesty grates on me this, who do some people think they are to just leave it for someone else to step in or pick up?

Never Again

I have wanted to go to this site for so long but what a disappointment! The site itself is OK. Typical CAMC site. The staff were ok and facilities were clean and tidy albeit tired looking. Just glad we didn't go in the busy season!! Thankfully we only stayed one night as it was 'our halfway point'. On our return journey we stayed elsewhere! There's no way of getting away from the horrendous road noise. I know it's not the Clubs fault but I was not expecting it to be on such a busy road! The speed limit of 40 is not adhered to by most vehicles. How CAMC can say its 'peaceful' is beyond me. There is no way I would want to sit outside my van listening to constant traffic - it's not my idea of relaxing. You have to walk along that road to get to Henley-on-Thames (20 minutes). However the path in most places is overgrown by weeds/hedgerow. This is not a site I would return to and at £31.90 at the end of September for a hardstanding pitch I feel is overpriced.

First time visit

For my first night away in the new-to-me campervan I wanted to stay somewhere that had all the facilities, especially as I was due to go into work the day after! Four Oaks was perfectly located, lovely and quiet, and had everything I needed while I was getting to grips with the new bed, and getting to know where everything is (or isn't). I'll definitely be back.

Henley short break

A very pleasant site with friendly and helpful wardens. It is very convenient for walking in to Henley approx. 15 minutes. However it can be a very noisy site particularly if you have a pitch close to the main Henley - Marlow road, the traffic crawls at peak times generating noise and traffic fumes. In addition on our last visit on two of the nights there was a very noisy party taking place until 1am which generated additional noise. Clearly the C&MC cannot do very much about the traffic noise or the local parties but people should be made aware of it. We will be using the site again as it is very convenient for visiting our family but hoping we can get a pitch at the back of the site.

A lovely site in a perfect location

A very pretty site in a very pleasant location. Friendly staff, no queues for showers, very clean and well maintained facilities. We have camped at this site many times before and we will be staying there again in the future. We have camped on grass (watch out for rabbit holes) and on hard standing. There is noise from the main road next to the site, this is worse for the pitches near the road, but we were in the middle of the site this time and we could hardly hear it, and it was quiet during the night. We chose this site due to its close proximity to Henley, as we were visiting our daughter who is rowing there. Yes, it is a walk alongside the main road to get into the town, but there is a footpath all the way and it only takes 15 minutes. We have been to this site many times before and we will be going there again. It is the only reason that we are members of the Caravan Club!

Nice Club Site

This is a nice site and we particularly liked the layout of the pitches. We read about the road noise in advance but it didn't really upset our time here. However, regarding the road, noise is the least of the problems, safety walking into town is by far a bigger issue. The 30mph zone ends at Swiss Farm campsite and the limit past this site is 40. However, both limits are ignored often excessively by a large percentage of drivers who also overtake on this stretch. In addition, the footpath is narrow due to overgrown vegetation. We were nearly hit whilst walking by a driver overtaking at speed. Overall not a pleasant walk into town !!!

Great facilities and nice location

Friendly and very pleasant location, ( rabbits on the pitches!) , very clean and well maintained facilities. Yes there is a bit of noise from the road to Marlow but honestly didn't bother us and was fine during the night. Great part of the country to visit, would come again!

Deafeningly loud traffic all day long

Sorry to say but this site is the worst caravan club site we’ve stayed at for years simply because of the noise. Having read the reviews before booking we were aware of potential road noise before we arrived but goodness me I’ve never experienced anything as noisy ever before. The site sits directly on the main road between Henley and Harlow. It’s an extremely busy, fast main road and the traffic flow is continuous. Regardless of where your pitch is located you’ll be blasted with road noise. If your unfortunate to get a pitch on the roadside you’ll be a couple of metres away from the traffic with a small hedge separating you from the traffic. The site is clean albeit pretty tired. The showers are in need of a refurb and the roads need surfacing and the utility points are tired but other than that it’s reasonable.
