We spent the weekend here as a couple. The site was amazing. Our pitch was in the middle of the woods with nobody else around. The owners were fantastic from start to finish, we couldn’t find the site initially and called them and they were willing to send someone to come find us. On arrival the staff were super friendly and welcoming. We spent a couple of hours in the bar. They serve everything you could wish for including their own brewed beer. Which is devine. We sent some pictures to friends and they’ve already booked and we will definitely be returning with the kids next time.

Awful service. I booked to visit in August, and sadly have had to cancel due to spinal disease. I cancelled our trip more than 3 months in advance, and according to their refund policy, am entitled to a full refund. They have not refunded me, and have ignored all my attempts to contact them. The PitchUp website I booked them through is also chasing them up to no avail. I've now started a claim for my money with my bank. Absolutely shocking. There are far nicer, wilder and quieter sites in the area, managed by much more professional hosts who don't rip people off.

Went to Henley park wild camping last night at the last minute... What an absolutely fantastic place.. the owners were extremely friendly and helpful.. the prices are very reasonable, in fact they're actually quite cheap for this time of year.. there's a big selection of either cosy little private spots to pitch up and also large communal areas for larger groups.. the facilities are clean and there's a decent size bar area in a short walking distance from basically any area on the site... Loads of places for the kids to explore, fire wood is available as well as bbq's and fire pits.... Amazing views over the hills.. all round brilliant place and very family (and dog) friendly.. we will definitely be back very soon

100% the best campsite we've ever stayed & we've stayed alot of places! Wanted peace & solitude but turned up on a bank holiday weekend to find it very busy & most of the little hidden gems to pitch up were taken. The site owners were fantastic & went out of their way to help find us the perfect spot. A great place for children to explore & go out of site but still feel safe, finding hidden rope swings dotted around the woodland. We felt completely secluded yet it was only a short walk to the outdoor bar which was amazing. Very pretty with fairy lights all around, pool table & games for the children, great choice of drinks at really reasonable prices. The warm pork scratching were beautiful! Wasn't keen on the amount of dogs under the canopied seating area, not the owners responsibility but campers taking unsociable dogs into such an inclosed area where other dogs were made me slightly nervous, although my partner told me to "stop being a karen" so maybe it's just me! Really didn't want to leave this site & absolutely will be returning again. Its amazing!!!!!!

One word amazing We have been a few times now and every time we go we want to go back. Kids really enjoyed it. It allows kids to be kids and not stuck on their devices. You can pitch anywhere on site it has a beautiful bar and the music is not loud at all. Showers and toilets on site. Some fantastic rope swings We can’t wait to go again Thank you
