Norden Farm

4.6 (592 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!

Good campsite

O'Connor, Hannah - 27/06/2025

The campsite is in good and clean condition with the facilities blocks being well maintained. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The reason for 4 not 5 stars is how close together the electric pitches are, it feels very cramped when full.

Our favourite campsite

Reader, Amy - 27/06/2025

We love Norden Farm and the facilities on offer. The showers are amazing and not those annoying push button ones. Always clean and warm too. The shop is fantastic and we regularly visit even when not staying at the campsite. This time we done some fishing and had a great time catching fish in the well stocked lake. We can’t wait to return for another stay in a couple of weeks.

It was our first stay at Norden and we will definitely return. The showers are the best I have ever experienced at a campsite, warm with a good flow. The fridge freezer provided were so handy The wall into Corfe Castle along the concealed path was perfect for us with our 2 young children as it felt safe. In Corfe we enjoyed a lovely meal and exploring the castleIt really is a fab place to stay

Lovely, clean site.

Davies, P - 26/06/2025

We arrived on a Sunday, having been annually for many years, knowing we would find a lovely site.. Only on the following Friday and Saturday did we find the facilities lacking, overwhelmed by the weekend campers. Nevertheless, the situation and cleanliness of the site make it one of our firm favourites.
