Norden Farm

4.7 (602 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!

LOUD but convenient

Bassett, Eleanor - 08/08/2026

Too busy and noisy. Toilets often dirty as a result and seperate toilet block makes logistics of getting children ready for bed difficult. Shower cubicles are too small for those of us with young children that need to be supervised. Family shower/toilet spaces would help. We have stayed at many sites that have shower toilet and sink in one room so families can get young children ready.We weren't told about love music on booking and thought the non electric pitch would be quiet. Music was until 21.30 which was too late for my 4year old niece and 5 year old daughter. There was also a lot more movement later as a result of people watching the music which added to disruption.This site is very convenient and has a lot going on, but is more suitable for older children and this should be in the description.We will find somewhere quieter for our next trip.

Brilliant First Stay

Rodrigues, Tom - 08/08/2026

This was the longest camping trip I had done with my kids aged 10 and 13. Norden were very welcoming and helpful on arrival. A great on site shop and a regular breakfast van with some evening options also made things easier and the food was great. The amenities on site were excellent. Showers were very powerful and hot and space to wash up was perfect. The site was clean and well attended to by the friendly staff. We enjoyed our night at the acoustic live music performance on site. Most if the site attended. Kids were happy and safe to explore and soon made friends. It really is a fab place for all campers of varying experience and a perfect location to explore Corfe and Dorset. Nearby Studland has some wonderful family friendly beaches. Thanks Norden we will definitely be back!

Family Holiday spoilt be Officious Staff

Burton, Martin - 07/08/2026

All was well until my daughter arrived all the staff were lovely except 2/3 who dealt with me/her very badly. 2 wardens I would describe as officious and not listening and a receptionist who was not very helpful with her Automaton “Computer says NO” attitude. I had to pay for another pitch (£64.00) as the 6m rule was quoted. This rule seemed to apply only to me. (See Photos) Pitch M17 was being vacated which was witnessed by the 2 wardens and asked they communicate that to reception before I went there. This was either not done or ignored. I was then told I had to make the leaving holidaymaker on M17 to report to reception to advise this person they were going, I said speak to your wardens as I not prepared to do this. I feel angry at the whole issue and did not enjoy the rest of my stay as a result. The facilities were clean and well presented, the shop excellent everything else was good, what a pity that 2/3 people made me feel this way. Look at the pictures and see out small

We’ve just been to Norden for a camping trip - our 6th visit and we love it. We use the top field in a small group of families. The facilities are great, the location is lovely and of all our camping trips, this is by far our favourite. We’ll be back again next year!

3rd year in a row!

Doel, Stephanie - 06/08/2026

We love this campsite! The facilities are spot on, the shop is well stocked and the staff can not be more helpful. We love the live music nights and there is a hot food vendor every morning and most evenings if you don't want to cook. The farm is set in the most beautiful area with stunning walks and of course the animals to see. There is so much to do in the area and all within a short car ride or 20min walk if you want to go to corfe castle. We love coming back each summer, this was our 3rd visit. Highly recommend a visit!
