Norden Farm

4.7 (684 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!

Well run campsite in an idyllic location

Kelly, Brendan - 15/05/2024

I was using the campsite as a base for hiking on the Purbeck Way and the coast path. The location is excellent; there is a direct path into Corfe with some stunning views of the castle.The campsite is very well equipped - the shower block and toilets were spotless and also conveniently close. There is also a large shop and laundry room though I did not have occasion to use. The pitch was probably the biggest I have ever used, bigger than I really required as I just had a car a person backpackers tent; that said the extra space was appreciated. Most other guests were in camper vans or large tents. Overall, although I normally stay in more basic campsites, the extra luxury was well worth the money.

Excellent campsite

Withers, Mandy - 15/05/2024

We have been coming to Norden Farm campsite several times a year for over 20 years. Well run, excellent facilities and a shop stocking all you would need. Ideal location for walking into Corfe for the castle, pubs and shops. You can catch the steam train into Swanage from just across the road.

The most Beautiful Campsite with amazing views

Crook, Kerry - 15/05/2024

5

I was blown away with this site so much so, that I have already booked to return and have invited friends to join.The location is central to many place, Swanage, Wareham, Poole, Sandbanks, Studland, Lulworth Cove, Kimmeridge,Upon arrival reception is located in the farm shop that was filled with amazing fresh products all reasonable prices, dogs welcome inside too. Staff welcoming and friendly. Pitches themselves are large with good grass coverage. The facilities on site were warm, clean and tidy, nice hot powerful showers. The views are amazing with walks from site to Corfe Castle only 20 mins and the Blue Pool is a 45min walk. As working farm the animals happily graze in the fields, dogs can go anywhere onsite but must remain on leads, the only negative I had, it would be nice to have a secure (high fenced) dog paddock to allow them to run free off the lead but appreciate this is a farm.I was sad to leave but have already booked my return visit for a longer time.

An absolute gem

Colombo, Melanie - 14/05/2024

We have stayed previously with family and this time with a group of friends. The house is beautiful, inside and out. Spacious rooms and what a treat to all have en suite facilities. A superb well equipped kitchen with everything provided. So good to have basic coffee, tea, washing up liquid etc. Really helpful. Loved the welcome of a cream tea which was much appreciated by us all, especially our French friends! The setting and garden is wonderful and we really enjoyed a barbecue dinner in the pavilion. A truly fun evening. Again everything has been thought of with wood, crockery and cutlery provided. Superb. The farm shop over the road is a big bonus and so handy. We loved the walk to Corfe Castle followed by a pub lunch, a steam train ride from Norden station to Swanage where we walked along the seafront, visited the little museum and had a seafood meal overlooking the sea. Also discovered Thomas Hardy's cottage and the fabulous Sculpture by the Lakes. A memorable stay!

Lovely views

Finch, Amanda - 13/05/2024

We had a lovely two night stay. We had a quiet pitch (as requested) with only the sound of the lambs and sheep! Loved the fact there were peacocks and farm animals to see. Very impressed with easy walking to and from Corfe itself. The farm shop was excellent and staff very friendly. The facilities were good and kept clean. All in all a lovely short break.

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.
