Norden Farm is a family-run working farm located ¾ mile from the world-famous village of Corfe Castle, surrounded by glorious countryside and the Purbeck Hills. Young children can enjoy the many farm animals on view, along with a toddler play area for younger kids and a newly-built play area for older kids. There are three adjacent level-grass fields with electric hook up, and an additional large grass field with non-electric pitches for tents and camper vans in peak season. Norden Farm Campsite is also a family site which happily welcomes dogs, free of charge. We also have a fishing pond on-site free to use for our campers.

On-site facilities at Norden Farm Campsite include toilet and shower blocks, chemical disposal point, washbasins, a family wash room, disabled toilet and wet room, laundry and food washing-up rooms and a pooch parlour (wet room and shower for dogs). There is also a takeaway food hut on-site that offers breakfast and dinner options daily for our campers.

This year, we have added fridges and freezers for our campers to use, as well as charging lockers on-site to charge your phones and other small electronic devices.

We are happy to provide peak-season weekly entertainment. From 19 July 2023 to 30 August 2023, our campers can join us every Wednesday and Saturday evening for dinner, featuring a hog roast and bar, followed by live music by some of the best in Dorset!

Our farm shop on-site incorporates our Campsite reception and is exceptionally well stocked to meet campers’ needs, with a gas exchange service (Calor – butane and propane, and Gaz only). The Norden Farm Shop sells a wide range of food from groceries, local fresh produce, plus all camping goods and accessories alongside our mini garden centre and newly built garden barn. Generally through the camping season the shop is open everyday 8.30am – 6pm and during most of the high season we are open 8am – 7pm! The farm shop is open all year round, serving the local community with seasonal goods and a huge variety of other items.

Across the road from Norden Farm Campsite, just 5 minutes away, is a station for the Swanage Steam Railway, a lovely way to travel down to Swanage via Corfe Castle. Next to Norden Station is a hub for activities including cycle hire and electric bikes, follow the mainly off-road Cycle Route called the Rempston Ride to Studland. In this hub is the Purbeck Mining and Mineral Museum, a children’s playground with a railway theme and footpaths to Corfe Castle (¾ mile).

Hop on the award-winning bus routes on the Purbeck Breezer bus. There is a bus stop at the site entrance and you can explore the Isle of Purbeck with great views from the top deck.

Just a few minutes drive away is Dorset Adventure Park, the highest rated aqua park on the South Coast. With over 150m of floating, inflatable obstacles to tackle as well as trampolines, slackline, monkey bars and a mud trail, there's plenty of activities to enjoy!

We were looking for a site at short notice and we pleasantly surprised by Norden Farm. It is a working farm and so you do have to put up with a country smell, but that was part of the attraction. We had the cows walking past our caravan to be milked every morning over breakfast, and our children enjoyed seeing (and hearing!) the donkey. We also saw a group of wild deer in the farm fields on our way back through the woods from the excellent nearest attraction of Corfe Castle. The facilities are good, but flies are prevalent, although the block in the top field / pond field is much cleaner (further from the cow sheds!) The children's play area was great, right by the indoor washing area.

Would we go back? Possibly.

I spent one day at Norden Farm last summer and have every intention of returning as soon as the weather permits. It is on a working farm but the camp site is away from the noise. The shower block was new last year with plenty of room, there are hookups. Corfe Castle is just a short distance away and Swanage not too far. There is a restaurant but note it is not open ever day and a useful shop on site.

Beautiful site with stunning scenery and surrounded by animals ! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves . There are clearly marked walks to Corfe Castle only 3/4 mile away . Staff are very friendly and I have already recommended this place to others . Will definitely stay again .

We enjoyed the peace of the area and would have explored if the weather had not been very much against us. But it was October. We liked the grass pitches, it felt more like camping than being surrounded by lumps of concrete. The on site shop is excellent, the people in it knowledgeable and helpful. We are relatively local but would love to stay here again as it is very different from being in a town.

This is a lovely campsite at the base of Corfe Castle which we use as a base for visiting RSPB Arne and the coast near Swanage. It has new heated facilities that are 2nd to none and because it's on a working farm provides added interest with all the animals around for kids if you have them. It has a decent farm shop sticking a lot of essentials too. The price asked is also incredibly fair for out of season camping. The perfect campsite!!

We go to Swanage Blues Festival twice yearly and find that Norden Farm is the perfect site for this (only problem is that the site may not be open in early March due to inclement weather). It is fantastic value for money and a delightful site - we would highly recommend it. The animals and poultry etc are an added attraction and the shop is well stocked. There are some interesting items for sale in the garden shop. We especially enjoyed listening to the owls at night.

We use this campsite out of season and just wish it was open for longer in the year. Campsite shop excellent with both fresh and tinned food. You could certainly make a good meal if you arrived here without food. It's so lovely you can do exciting and wonderful walks direct from the campsite without needing a car to get to the start point. There is no onsite entertainment or club house and long may it continue to be so. Completely UN-necessary in this lovely part of the country,
