Norden Farm

4.6 (594 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!

Only one glaring oversite.

Battams, B - 15/06/2025

Good site, with friendly reception staff.Their is only one issue that lets the site down and that is the two miniscule hand wash basins in the gents toilets, (pond field) which are too small to get hands in and have no hot water and a mere trickle of cold water that stops completely in a few seconds.The area is delightful. The site is spacious and facilities are all clean.The steam train from Norden down to Swanage is a good experience which also runs on time. It's a decent walk into Corfe Castle itself and the village bakery remains as village bakeries used to be, and should not be missed. The castle and the Banks family, has along and fascinating history which can be followed through with a visit to the gorgeous nearby national Trust property "Kingston Lacy."The wonderful Italianate gardens of Compton Acres are beautiful at all times of the year.

Loved the relaxed vibe and great facilities

What’s not to love. Friendly staff, lots of space, good dog exercise facilities, lots of wild life including site visits from the peacocks although were a bit noisy at night but the cockerel seemed to be on strike or have lost his voice which was appreciated. Nice walk in to the village and good choice of pubs and bakery.

We really enjoyed our stay at Norden Farm, the site was beautiful, we loved seeing the animals, and the peacocks just wandering around was lovely, the amenities were great, very clean and in a great position, I have quite limited mobility so use a walking stick for short distances and a mobility scooter if going further, and using both was easy on the site, all very accessible, we will definitely be back

Almost 5 stars

Hammond, Laura - 15/06/2025

The campsite is excellent, the staff are friendly, the amenities are good and clean. My only reason for my title of almost 5 star is that you need to sort out your wifi. It was intermittent at best. We will come again though.

Our second visit. Just the perfect location and facilities for our family get together. Lots of space, well equipped, beautiful decor and so clean and tidy. The bbq house was great too and the children (of all ages) appreciated the garden games and farm area. The on site shop was handy too and well stocked - lovely breads and pastries!Locally lots to with much within a short walk - no need to use the car over the weekend except for 90yr old mum!
