FOUR GRASS FIELDS WITH VIEWS
Norden Farm Campsite 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 April 1st to October 31st (weather permitting).
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. Specific pitches can be requested but not guaranteed.
Please note that we are a grass site and have no hardstanding pitches.
In mid and high season, a discount of 5% is applied to any bookings of 7 nights or more.
Checking in time is from 1pm (no arrivals are allowed prior to this time) and checking out is by 11am.
You can check the details of a confirmed booking by going to the Customer login page.
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!

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.
WELL-STOCKED FARM SHOP
FARM SHOP
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.

“We loved it here. The kids loved the fact it’s a working farm and enjoyed seeing the animals. Showers and toilets were always very clean. Will definitely be going back.”
Just one of the many 5 star reviews on Trip Advisor
Lovely staff , lovely facilities, lovely location. - Brilliant campsite, very, very clean all the staff were lovely and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. One of the best campsite shops I have ever seen and... read more very reasonably priced. The bus stop is just out side the site and will take you to Swanage one way and Poole the other. You can even catch the steam train for more leisurely travel if you like. The walk to Corfe Castle is a delight as is Corfe itself. Would definitely recommend this campsite
Excellent holiday - I found Norden Farm to be well presented and looked after. There is an excellent farm shop selling the grocery basics at reasonable prices, camping equipment including airbeds, gas... read more ETC, and a small garden centre.
The showers were hot and powerful, and the toilets were clean and not smelly.
There are 3 freezers at the top field and small lockable lockers where you can charge mobiles ETC for free.
It also has 2 children's play areas and a small range of animals that children can interact with.
The only suggestion I would make is that the top field could do with pitch markers. People were pitching tents any and everywhere, making it difficult to drive on/off site.
Great family site - Great campsite. We loved it ❤️. Yes, light sleepers will get woken up at 5am by the Cockerel and the Peacock but that is part of the fun! Husband... read more and son slept through! Clean facilities and the washing up area had lots of hot water. We used the laundtette too, easy to use and staff very helpful. The farm shop is great and meant we didn’t have to find a supermarket during our stay. We will be back 😊
Lovely Campsite in a beautiful location, will be back - Just returned home from a lovely few days at Norden Farm and it was one of the loveliest campsites. Facilities were excellent with lovely, powerful hot showers. A 20 minute... read more walk to Corfe Castle with one of the most beautiful views. The Farm shop is reasonable and very well stocked. Opening times could be a bit longer but fine to work around it. The children loved seeing the animals especially the donkeys. They are very happy and a lovely addition to keep the children occupied. The play area near the animals is excellent with a trim trail, monkey bars and climbing frame.
Plenty of space and water points all around and the fridge, freezer and charging lockers were a welcome addition. People didn't adhere to the 6 metre camping rule but that is not a reflection on the campsite more just people being selfish. All in all a really lovely trip and we would love to return.
Fabulous campsite - If you want a fantastic campsite around studland/swanage area then this is the place to go. I am new to camping and go solo. A lovely welcome and map to... read more the top field and great atmosphere. Lovely clean toilets and shower block and a very welcome little food ‘shack’ run by two lovely people which is brilliant for those of us without any cooking facilities. Fantastic shop with everything you could possible want. Lots of animals to see dotted around the place too. Peacocks were beautiful and as for the little
Piglets.. just fantastic. But the best is you ate so close to both Studland beaches and Swanage. Great location. So thank you to everyone who works so hard to give us all a great place to stay.
We booked to stay here for a long weekend with friends in October. The campsite is in a fantastic location, close to Corfe Castle and a perfect distance to explore... read more the local area on foot. The showers/toilets were clean! We only stayed one night in the end due to bad weather but will definitely be back.
Great site and facilities. The best site shop ive ever been in, if it's not in there you don't need it. Great vicinity to Swanage railway and easy access to... read more great cycling routes. Good wifi onsite if you need it.
Beautiful campsite set in a valley right next to Corfe Castle and the village of Corfe. Huge camping field behind the smaller one as you drive in. Excellently stocked farm... read more shop and during the holidays they have guest food vendors visiting site which was brilliant. Live music on certain dates too. You'll probably spot a Peacock or two whilst walking yo and from the shop, they have free reign of that area. Pitches are nice and flat with plenty of space for the kids to play safely.
Nice campsite, lots for the kids to see and do (and loads of other families, so they made lots of friends!). We walked down from there to corfe castle which... read more was a fabulous way to spend a day. There aren't a lot of toilet locations, so it was quite a walk (with a toddler) from where we were to the nearest toilet block, but we didn't mind that really. They have a family shower room, which includes both a bath and shower, which we haven't ever encountered before when camping, and was a great surprise!
Parked up with my LWB sprinter in the pitch and there was still enough space for another with side awning out! Really nicely kept campsite, plenty of animals around and... read more handy shop on site, close to the castle, highly recommended.
