Norden Farm

4.7 (679 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!

More rain on soaked pitches

Toms, Graham - 12/05/2024

Arrived in the dry last Wednesday. Put awning up but it then started raining ! Soon had a stream running through my pitch ! The awning was for my e-bike so not critical. I did ask to move as was staying for 7 nights but nothing available!!! As bank holiday weekend. The stay was good and I was able to walk and cycle as planned. Although the site was empty at first there still appeared to be a number of dogs running unleaded this continued over the whole week ???? As a dog owner ( not on this visit) I really don’t understand when asked to keep dogs under control and on leads WHY this is still tolerated?? They will end up spoiling it for everyone. Left the site after a good 7 days will be back at some point.

Excellent facilities

Rowden, Sophia - 11/05/2024

Really lovely campsite with excellent facilities. The only thing that lets it down are the excessive rules, it felt like at every turn there was a laminated sheet of rules stuck somewhere. The most frustrating one is children not being allowed to ride scooters, bikes etc except for grassy areas. You can’t really ride a scooter on the grass! Other than that, it was a great campsite!

Thank you for your feedback.We are glad that you enjoyed most of your stay, the new bike rules are designed to keep children safe, as they are not always road safe aware. Over the last few years we have had some children not abiding to the site road rules which is why we have had to introduce these rules.We look forward to hopefully seeing you again in the future.

Second visit after several years - early May bank holiday

Prickett, Mr John A - 11/05/2024

5

A lovely site with something for everyone. Great facilities and stunning surroundings. Well-stocked shop. Friendly farm animals. No need to drive off site once arrived - buses to Swanage and Wareham/ Poole opposite entrance and steam train a few metres away at Norden station . Corfe Castle dominates many views - like a fantasy image

Was so nice to be back at Norden Farm, site clean and tidy, farm shop to die for so much choice and reasonable prices. Shower blocks kept clean and tidy. Every interaction with staff throughout park very positive, polite, friendly nothing too much. Ideally situated to walk into Corfe Castle itself, lovely woodland walks for the dogs. Also handy for visiting Swanage and Studland
