Norden Farm is a family-run touring caravan and camping site set on a working farm just outside of Corfe Castle on the Jurassic Coast, Dorset. The site is open from March 1st to October 31st (weather permitting).
FOUR GRASS FIELDS WITH VIEWS
The campsite is set back from the main road within a gorgeous valley and each field has different views to offer.
There are four level grass fields, three with electric hook up and an additional six-acre free pitching field for tents and VW camper vans in peak season.
Campers are allocated particular electric pitches based on what they have booked, but specific pitches can be requested.
Please note that we are a grass site and have no hardstanding pitches.
EXPLORE CORFE CASTLE & SWANAGE
Norden is ideally situated for using local transport; with two bus stops at the site entrance and the steam train to Swanage just a five-minute walk away. This makes Norden Farm the ideal base for exploring the wonderful Isle of Purbeck.
The site is within one mile of world-famous Corfe Castle and the ancient market town of Wareham is only 3.5 miles away. Studland Bay and the Seaside town of Swanage can be reached in 15 minutes by car.
There is a footpath leading from Norden Farm directly to the village of Corfe Castle. Here you will find four pubs along with several shops and the village bakery. Of course, you can also visit the castle ruins, now owned by the National Trust alongside their gift shop and tea rooms.
IDEAL FOR FAMILY ADVENTURES
There are numerous other cycling and walking routes directly from the site and campers are granted access to the top of the Purbeck Ridgeway, from where they can enjoy panoramic views of Poole Harbour and the Isle of Purbeck.
The reception is open every day and stocked with local transport timetables and an abundance of flyers for local attractions and events. Staff are filled with local knowledge so feel free to ask the friendly team for their recommendations!

Norden Farm Shop is exceptionally well-stocked to meet campers’ needs, selling a wide range of groceries, fresh produce and camping essentials, as well as local goods and beautiful plants in the garden centre.

The machine also dispenses milkshakes in a range of popular flavours, along with butter, cream and Kefir, and with cheese coming soon!

Without exception all of us were amazed at the standard of accommodation, comfort, luxury, facilities, cleanliness and setting of this fabulous house. There really was everything we could possibly need for our stay and with all the bedrooms being en suite we felt as if we were staying in a hotel!
We barbecued in the garden room which was great fun and used the well stocked farm shop for supplies.
The setting is ideal for touring the local area and we were blessed with great weather for November.
The staff have been extremely helpful and friendly and there if we needed anything.
We will certainly be back and I would highly recommend Norden Farm House More
