Norden Farm

4.6 (597 reviews)

Norden Farm is a family-run camping and touring site set on a working farm just outside Corfe Castle, on the southern coast of beautiful Dorset. With easy transport links, friendly staff, and great facilities, this is the perfect place for a coastal getaway.

Search for availability Search for availability

Norden Farm is located in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck- set back from the main road, but with easy access. It is a rural farm site and may not be suitable for those looking for ready-made entertainment!

There are three adjacent, level grass fields offering electric hook up pitches, with an additional six- acre, non- electric field for tents and camper vans in peak season. There are no hard-standing pitches at present.

Onsite facilities include flush toilets and chemical disposal points, hot showers and private wash basins, a family room, disabled toilets and wet room (ambulant or aided only), separate laundry and washing-up rooms, a well-stocked farm shop, and a pooch parlour (a wet room and warm shower for dogs). For children, there is a play area and ball games court. We have a fridge and freezer for our campers, along with a locker facility for charging phones.

Most facilities are free for campers to use. WIFI is available for a small fee.

In addition to camping, a traditional farm cottage is also available for hire. This sleeps four and is situated on site, with its own private garden. Norden House is also available as a large self- catering holiday home that sleeps up to fourteen people.

Norden Farm is conveniently located for using public transport, making us the perfect base for exploring the Isle of Purbeck! Norden has two bus stops outside our site entrance, and two steam railway stations a short walk away, making access to Swanage or Poole simple and easy.

Norden is also only 3.5 miles from the ancient town of Wareham, where you will find an array of pubs, shops and the River Frome. Wareham also has a train link to Weymouth or London.

This campsite also boasts a footpath (taking roughly 20 minutes) directly from our campsite into the historic village of Corfe Castle, where you will find three pubs, the bakery and the castle ruins!

From the site, you can take a short drive to beaches such as Studland, Sandbanks and Lulworth Cove! Families will love exploring local attractions such as Dorset Water Park, The Tank Museum and Monkey World!

Family celebration

Ricketts, Adrian - 18/04/2025

We had a fantastic stay at Norden House, from the moment we tucked into the welcoming cream tea! We were a party of 14 and 2 dogs, spanning 4 generations, and there was something for everyone! The children loved the animals around the farm, including newly born lambs and playing ball games in the lovely big garden. Plenty for the adults too, in particular the summer house with its great fire pit/bbq which made for the perfect focal point in the evenings - the highlight being the grandparents tucking into giant marshmallows from the farm shop perfectly toasted around the fire (their first ever toasted marshmallows)! Norden House really has everything, spacious comfortable bedrooms, a large kitchen and comfy lounges. With the farm shop across the road stocking everything you need for an evening bbq or fresh eggs for breakfast, we didn't want for anything. Great location too with the Swanage steam just down the road and Corfe castle and village a short 20 minute walk! As a large

We loved this campsite!

Hamilton-Peach, Sue - 16/04/2025

A lovely campsite in the middle of the farm with beautiful views. The farm shop is well stocked and there is also a small garden centre. It was lovely to see lambs in the barn and peacocks wandering around! The facilities were spotless and the staff very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the views of Poole and Brownsea Island during a walk up the hill from the campsite and along the top to Corfe Castle, and we returned via the flat route! The campsite is also well placed (and on a bus route) to visit Swanage and Bournemouth. We will definitely be back!

Always enjoyed this site

We have been coming here for some years and always say it is our favourite site. However I must say we were a bit upset this time due to the treatment of cows and calves. As usual we were in the donkey field and I am wondering if you let out the land adjoining this field as I am sure you would not treat the animals as we witnessed. All we could see were several men brandishing sticks and shouting trying to corral these poor animals into pens - not sure whether they were trying to sort out the calves from mothers but there was such a heartbreaking noise from these animals and they were obviously being hurt by being knocked into the pens as well as being hit by sticks. One chap looked across at us and laughed - no it was not funny. Also we could not see any grassy area and I have a photo of a cow looking very forlorn, dirty, always standing in the same place - doesn’t seem to have anywhere to lie down. We look forward to your explanation - Sue Cast
