Norden Farm

4.7 (625 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!

Not for us

Horsell, Jonathan - 31/08/2026

Although not for us, the site has everything required. Facilties are very clean, well maintained and the shop is well stocked. It is ideal for local attractions. Corfe Castle is walkable via a enclosed footpath which was ideal.However we thought this site was expensive and overcrowded compared to our previous camp site the week prior which was comparable. Additional charges on top of the high site fees were not expected. These were for a toilet tent and a gazebo. We had paid for two large ajoining pitches. Site staff were hovering at 11am on the day of departure to ensure we were leaving. It felt very uncomfortable.

Been visiting for many years but it's probably not for us anymore

Butt, Laura - 31/08/2026

Been coming to Norden Farm for about 15 years and always loved the laid-back farm atmosphere however this visit was probably our last. All the rules and signs everywhere, and feeling like you're under surveillance constantly from the wardens wherever you go is just too much (two in particular). Also our children are at the age where they want to go off and explore on their bikes and the no cycling rule on any track/path/road makes this impossible. Won't be going back, there are other sites locally we prefer and which feel more friendly.
