Thanks, I hear the same thing over and over, its beautiful, the staff are great, but you pay the price. Well we can confirm this!, its a set up that I am completely on board with, I don't want to save a £10 in return for miserable staff who can't afford their rent., its how France works, the campsite we go to there always has the same staff who love their job , its nearly 100euros/night ! ( i just hope they are generous to their staff!?, i recon so, thats how you get the good, competent polite ones staying on!)
had a really nice stay up river from marina, the staff were great on the radio, they sent us up to bouy 177, utter silence, you can hear conversations from boats 3 places along !(worth remembering!!)
Kids loved it apart from one huge problem on the hottest day of the year- jellyfish!, no they dont sting, but there are literally millions in the river ATM, one every 10cm..

Rising tides bring the moon jellies in, there are thousands of them at the moment but they don't sting, our grandson has great fun catching and
releasing them

To hitch a ride on your thread, I've been as far as Bucklers Hard in a yacht but interested in taking a rib up to an event at the motor museum a week Sunday (3rd July). Wondered whether there was anywhere near the top of the river someone could recommend to tie up without getting our feet wet or being chased off by the owners. With our timings, there will be more water when we leave so didn't want to wade calf deep on arrival only to be up to our chest when leaving!

i paddled up about another 10 moorings up from 177, about 1km from marina, to a small pier that I was told was a walk ashore, there were a few rowing boats there and it didnt say 'private', so that my be useful, don't know if there are any further up.
