Norden Farm

4.7 (631 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!

Perfect first time caravan trip

King, David - 12/09/2026

A two night stay to practice with our new (to us) caravan. Norden Farm was perfect from start to finish. Beautiful location, lovely spacious pitches, clean facilities, tidy and well-organised site, friendly staff, great shop. The peacocks wandering around and the goats and deer in the woods add to the character and informality of the site.There are great walks straight from the site, including an easy, traffic-free path to Corfe.We will definitely be back for a longer stay.

Very nice site, no complaints.

Bernstein, Sandra - 12/09/2026

We only stayed one night rather than two as heavy rain predicted all night and next day but we enjoyed what time we spent there. We’d certainly come back if we continue to do camping. The showers were so powerful and not on timers or tokens so very enjoyable. All very clean.The shop looked liked it had a bit of everything and seeing the animals was nice as I love the countryside and farms.The staff looked like they enjoyed their jobs as smiley and pleasant.Highly recommend!

Great Camping

Crosse, Douglas - 12/09/2026

5

Easy walk to Corfe Castle, loads of long distance walking as well as shorter routes. Lots of wildlife around. Good bus service at site entrance Swanage one direction Poole the other way.Warm welcome and well stocked shop. Site facilities are excellent. Minor gripe, the electric points each feed 4 pitches. Sometimes you need a longer cable than normal. That said the site will loan an extension lead if required. Been coming here for over 40 years.

Quiet campsite with quality facilities, surrounded by lush green

Davis, Edward - 10/09/2026

Easy to get to, staff are helpful staying to let us in at final check in. Clean and top facilities. The amenities include a farm shop with locally sourced food. Felt always safe and is a competitive value for money compared with similar sites.The local area provides lots of walking spots. We walked from the campsite via Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Ridge to the seaside town of Swanage. The purbeck ridge provides some lovely views of the Purbeck peninsula countryside!
