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!

As soon as you arrive you can tell it’s a well looked after site. The road noise always put me off staying at this site, but it wasn’t too bad. And the site has great walks from it. The site was spotless and extremely well kept one of the best managed sites I’ve ever visited. The only thing that disappointed me is next to The main toilets in Alison point they had done some streaming and there was a dead hedgehog that must’ve been killed in the streaming and the dead hedgehog was still there. I’m passionate about wildlife and hedgehogs and video them every night in my house, even when I’m away, I organise their food. So I was disappointed to see a wildlife casualty. It wouldn’t put me off staying again as the rest of the site was immaculate.
Norden Farm is a welcoming and friendly stay for all.The staff were so friendly and helpful.The location was fabulous and the facilities were spotless.Well worth the walk to Corfe Castle and surrounding area.Mant thanks

Just 2 nights stay. I'm a novice car-roof tent user and this site proved to be a lovely place to start. Picturesque hilly surroundings. All grounds and facilities are well maintained, neat, clean and tidy.And all staff are cheerful and charming.
Thank you for your review.We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and we have enjoyed seeing the amazing photos you have taken of our site and the local areas.We hope to welcome you back soon!
Excellent site, very friendly and helpful staff. Ideally situated to explore Dorset! A lovely farm shop that stocks everything that you could need. Will definitely be back in the future! ☺️
Thank you for your review.We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to welcome you back soon!
A superb site, surrounded by rolling hills and wooded walks. To begin with, the staff are so friendly and helpful which was lovely. The facilities are spotlessly clean and pitches are a great size. The farm shop is great and has everything you may need. There is a bus stop just outside the site, great for getting to Swanage or you can get the train. I felt very safe on this site and will definitely be returning. Thank you Norden Farm.

Have loved this campsite for years. We have camped here in tents when our children were little, in our VW camper with teenagers and now as empty nesters in our motorhome. Great location close to National Trust beach at Studland (dogs allowed all year round on beach), and lovely seaside town of Swanage. There is the steam railway station and Corfe Castle within walking distance of site and a bus stop on the main road at the entrance to the site where you can catch a bus to Swanage or Wareham.The facilities have been upgraded over the years to great shower and loo blocks, level well maintained pitches, and well large stocked farm shop.

Lovely site although the option to book one night would be nice seeing as we booked out of high season Also would be nice to choose pitch number during kess busy weekends (I only say this as we lost the sun early behind the trees yet there were lots of empty pitches that had sun for a lot longer) otherwise a lovely site, the shop is very stocked and the location is perfect! Loved how dog friendly it was and great for families. Also very nice hot showers that's always a winner!

Thank you for your review.We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay here and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
As previously notified in an email which I have not had a response to. The shop and site facilities are probably the best I have come across. When I checked in, the lady said I had a trailer tent and gazebo which surprised me as I don’t a gazebo. That night I checked the price I had paid and what I actually booked and yes, somehow I did book the gazebo. The following day I queried it with reception and they said t & c’s state no refunds as it was my mistake. I never asked for a refund but I thought they might give me a £14 credit towards my next visit, but no.That afternoon my two grandsons erected a temporary goal on one vacant pitch in a complete line of empty pitches. A young lady from the site came along an said they had to remove it and take it a play area in another field out of site of their parents. It would have been nice for the staff to give us the credit that we would move or remove it if anyone had come as in my experience the vast majority of campers are considerate.
Thank you for your review.Unfortunately your email has not come through to us and we are sorry we missed it.As the balance had been fully paid on your online booking, we were unable to offer a refund, and would have also been unable to offer a credit to any further bookings as all payments on bookings are non-transferable.Regarding the goal on a nearby pitch, as our wardens said we do have a designated area for the kids to play ball games, this makes it safer for the children as they are not near any moving vehicles, and also keeps nearby campers from worrying about footballs being accidentally kicked towards them. We try to keep everybody as happy as possible, but our main priority is everybodys safety.We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that you didn't enjoy your time here.
