Norden Farm

4.7 (615 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!

Holiday highlights

Rickett, Jane - 19/08/2026

We had a fabulous 3 night stay in our camper van. The facilities were excellent, always clean and regularly inspected, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We loved the beautiful views, the farm animals and the farm shop was well provisioned. The location is fantastic, being so close to Corfe Castle and Norden railway station. We also enjoyed the food van and music on Thursday evenings in the summer, which was a lovely touch. We stayed in the Main Field during the school holidays, so it was understandably busy, but we would love to return and try the Donkey Field for a quieter stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend Norden Farm Campsite.

Lovely family campsite with amazing views and walks. Facilities are clean and modern and the shop is well stocked. On site food vans and live music is a nice added extra. Public transport easily accessible outside the site and the Wardens are helpful and friendly, especially Debbie and Russell, hope to see them again next year 😉

Just the best ❤️

Johnson, Lewis - 19/08/2026

We really love Norden farm, it’s relaxed and very family friendly. All of the staff are great and approachable. We have mentioned 2 things this time that would help in future, firstly the shower block near pond field seems to be used by the majority of campers in preference to the one further down making it difficult to occasionally find a free shower and this is because many prefer it. Secondly would you consider putting in a windbreak of conifer hedges between Pond field and Top field to try to minimise the damage from high winds to tents etc. Otherwise your campsite is perfect. The food outlets in Pond field are great as is the music nights, great fun. The addition of the dog field is a winner too. But your shop is just the best, you lovely local meats etc we just had to bring some back with us. We look forward to 2027

Norden farm is a great campsite and in a great location for a gentle stroll into Corfe and all of the surrounding area. The staff are really friendly and helpful, the onsite farm shop is a little gem and has everything you’ll need. We can’t wait to return in the near future.

7 night stay

Fenn, Charlotte - 19/08/2026

We returned to the site after 16 years. Our first every holiday together was at Norden farm and we were excited to return with our family all these years later. We were not disappointed. The pitches had plenty of space and facilities were excellent- clean, hot showers, clean toilets and facilities to wash the dogs. We made use of the food vans and the pizza was really great, saving an evening of cooking. The evening entertainment on a Thursday was a welcome surprise. The shop was well stocked and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The children loved the play parks. Cannot fault the site, one of the best we have ever stayed at. It had grown massively since we first came. If we had to give one recommendation, it would be to have a couple more of the music nights during a week.

As a family we’ve been staying at Norden since 2017. And the reason is simple. It’s by far one of the best campsites we’ve ever stayed at!The site is exceptional, the facilities are clean, the showers are hot. My husband swears that the farm shop is his favourite shop ever (bar Decathlon!!) pitches are generous and the site never feels overcrowded.This summer we managed to be onsite for the Thursday live music and ordered pizza on site. What an absolute banger of an evening.Cannot wait to see you again next year! You can’t get rid of us!
