Norden Farm

4.6 (567 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.

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!

Revisiting an old friend

Savory, Graham - 12/11/2024

As a frequent flyer to Norden Farm, I had my second visit of the year in October, along with my daughter, who had not been to the site for a few years, and her partner. Despite the appalingly wet weather, the staff couldn't have been more helpful during the week. As the torrential downpours were in the evenings, it didn't stop us visiting regular favourites such as Corfe Castle, Durdle Door, Old Harry Rocks, Swanage and Durlston Head. Great facilities, especially the farm shop. Pitches could do with some TLC as due to repetitive pitching, they are very worn and not sure they will recover for next season. Does show the site is popular though which is good. I'll be back next year!!

Beautiful site very clean and tidy, and all the facilities were open,its a working farm so there were lots of animals around ,the staff were so helpful and friendly, the shop was well stocked,with the site being so wet we parked on the hard standing road through the site , and it's only a short walk to get a bus or train or walk into corfe, love it we return every year sometimes twice a year well done to all the hard working staff and thank you for making our stay enjoyable and relaxing and safe.

An excellent weekend

Privett, Pete - 25/10/2024

An end of season break on a site we have used previously and which, once again, provided great facilities and service. We received a warm welcome and were advised that, owing to recent poor weather, we would not be able to use a grass pitch so were directed to the end of one of the access roads which meant we stayed on a hard surface all weekend but still had full access to a hook up and all site facilities. A nice touch and no worries about getting off the pitch at the end of our break.All facilities were to the usual high standard, the shop was well stocked and the team were always friendly.Overall, a really enjoyable weekend, with time spent in Wareham, Corfe Castle and Swanage all of which are easily accessed from this well situated site, either on foot, by bus or by train.Terrific value for money as we qualified for one of the age concession rates.

Staff very wellcoming showers & toilets clean and well kept good size pitches and shop well stocked.It could do with a safer path down the road to the station if the Council where interseted. maybe a link from the Corfe Castle path across the road to link up with existing path at railway crossing. Maybe worth an askThankyou to all your staff and see you again.Kind regards Cath & Ken

Great time at Norden farm. So much to do!

Pearson, Mike - 18/10/2024

We stayed 4 nights at Norden and were impressed by everything. The facilities were spotless, the showers great and as for the farm shop, absolutely brilliant amazing selection of great local supplier's and very reasonable in price. We walked the Purbeck way, walked into Corfe Castle and used the buses ( which stop right outside the campsite) to go to Swanage and Wareham on different days. Finally all the staff were lovely and so helpful. Will definitely come again , but for longer next time. Outstanding value for us "oldies" out of season.

Lovely site

Pinto-Wright, A - 15/10/2024

Fabulous site but boggy when wet, unfortunately all pitches are grass so if the weather is kind it’s amazing but if lots of rain can be horrible. Would be greatly improved with some hard standing pitches. That said the staff are really helpful, the pitches are a good size, lovely to see all the animals and this year was particularly brilliant as they’ve introduced an amazing dog exercise field, off lead, such a fabulous addition. Would return over and over again if we could be sure if the weather
