Norden Farm

4.7 (568 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!

Return visit

Johnson, Celia - 19/12/2025

Very good property. Clean, comfortable and one of the best equipped kitchens we have come across. The farm shop over the way is a very useful amenity.One small quibble - the stair gate provided to keep dogs (and presumably children) downstairs is completely unfit for purpose. Doesn't fit the stairs and is not adjustable. Rather more of a hazard than a safety feature!The short walk into Corfe Castle is very pleasant. Being National Trust members we were able to take full advantge of a visit to the castle. The NT shop in the village has a wide range of goods. Many good pubs to choose from and an excellent bakery. Just a weekend is not long enough to explore all the nearby attractions. We did manage a visit to the Christmas light show at Carey's Secret Garden..Overall - a very good property for a large family gathering.

Norden house

When you enter Norden house, you are greeted by the warm spacious atmosphere. It is very clean and the mince pies and cream was a lovely welcome. The short, off road, walk into Corfe Castle from the house is invigorating.The farm shop has lots of stuff which is definitely worth a browse.

Great in low season

Hutson, Nic - 01/11/2025

We had great low season stay with a discount for being old. Lovely and quiet, clean with lovely walking routes from the campsite. Having seen the site's size, I would be less likely to stay in high season and would avoid August.

Hall, Graham - 01/11/2025

Corfe is one of our favourite places to visit the the rest of Dorset from. From Studland and along the coast is so easy to access from there.Norden Farm is just perfect for us, a great welcome, friendly and helpful staff, a great shop selling everything I can think you might need, good pitches with excellent showers etc,fresh water, electric, waste disposal points, why stay anywhere else.

Duke of Edinburgh Expedition Base

Owens, Chris - 31/10/2025

Dorset Army Cadet Force used Nordern Farm as a base for a DofE Silver Expedition in the Purbecks in October 25, staying 2 nights. We were allocated the Events Field for camping, which is in easy reach of one of the toilet & shower blocks. The site & facilities were excellent overall (especially the showers) and very clean, with the staff being extremely helpful & friendly throughout.

Great location, facilities and spacious

Murphy, Greg - 27/10/2025

We have stayed on Norden campsite before but this was first visit in a camper van and in low season.Lovely EHU pitch with plenty of space. Short walk to toilet/dishwashing block which were spotlessly clean.Surrounded by beautiful countryside and immersed by nature. If you are a light sleeper, the sound of owls and deer during the night might keep you awake! We love it and part of the reason for choosing the site.Short safe walk along the old road ( traffic free) into the beautiful village of Corfe. Served by numerous pubs all serving great food.Take a torch though. Pitch black at this time of year!Will certainly visit again next year.
