Noisy in parts of the site!
The positives...... Henley is a lovely little town. The site is approx one mile from town and there's plenty to do and lots of walks, which we found enjoyable. The wardens were pleasant and friendly.
The negatives..... If you are looking for a guaranteed peaceful and quiet site, then think twice about coming here. and We live in urban area, approx half a mile from a motorway, so we are used to a certain noise level. We weren't particularly looking for ultimate peace and quiet, and we found that the site itself wasn't noisy, however we were not prepared for the noise from the main road next to the site. The planes overhead at certain times were loud too as the site is on a main flight path to Heathrow. Combine the two and it was very loud at times. Marlow road (which is clearly a main road in and out of Henley) is supposed to be 40mph speed limit, however many of the super cars and bikes that drive up and down clearly don't adhere to it. Pitched next to the road, with no shelter other than a thin line of trees, we found some of the traffic noise quite disturbing at times. We arrived on a Saturday and knew that we wouldn't really have much choice but to pitch next to the road, and it was a pain - for 8 nights. As it's a small site I doubt that you could get away from any road noise at all.
We made the most of our week and and enjoyed it, but would we return? No.
