After a long day exploring the beautiful Isle of Purbeck, head back to Norden to take advantage of the wonderful facilities on offer.
There are two large facilities blocks on-site so wherever you stay you’ll never be far from one. Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers and private wash basins. Hair dryers and shaving plug-in points are provided. These facilities are free to use and do not require tokens.
The main facilities block is home to a family room. With a shower, bath and wash basin, bath time has never run so smoothly on a camping holiday!
The main facilities block has an adjoining laundry room with washing machines, tumble dryers, sinks and an iron for campers to make use of. Tokens for the washing machines and tumble dryers are available from the farm shop.
Both facilities blocks have an adjoining indoor washing up room, so gone are the days of washing your pots and pans outside in the dark and cold!
At the main facilities block, we have a disabled toilet and wet room. Proof of disability is not required, and keys can be rented from the farm shop for a refundable deposit. The farm shop is also completely wheelchair accessible.
Accessibility Guide
There are two areas for campers to dispose of grey water and elsan waste located near both facilities blocks. We also have a drive over point to make disposal as quick and easy as possible.
After a long muddy walk, your pampered pup can enjoy a warm shower in our pooch parlour! The service is free to use and can be found behind the laundry room.
With numerous water points dotted around, you’ll never be far from one wherever you are on site. All points dispense drinking water and are always readily available to use.
We have a 15 laptop size locker facility which is located in the shed that houses the fridges and freezers – this can be found in the pond field. Better still, it’s free to use!
We have a limited number of electric cables available to hire from the farm shop. These allow connection from your unit to the electric supply during your stay. Please note – we do not have any main power units for tents available to hire. We only have standard cables for Motorhomes or caravans. Please click here for more information about using electricity on our site.
Stay connected at Norden Farm. Complimentary Wifi is available across all camping fields.
Norden Farm Shop has a regular stock of Calor and Camping Gaz gas canisters. Campers are able to exchange like-for-like bottles at competitive prices.
Non-electric camping at Norden doesn’t have to interrupt your meal plans. We have a fridge and freezer for our campers. These are free to use and are located in the Pond field.We also sell bagged ice, and we stock a good supply of fresh, chilled & frozen products.
We allow fire pits on the campsite providing they are small, contained, raised off the ground and are used sensibly. If you don’t have your own, we have a limited number of fire pits available to hire from the farm shop – just ask when you arrive!
Seasoned wood only to be burnt. This is available from the Farm Shop. Firewood obtained from surrounding woodland is strictly prohibited.
If you don’t fancy cooking, pop down to ‘The Spotted Pig’!
Based in Pond Field, our resident food van serves delicious breakfasts, dinners and hot drinks.
Seasonal opening hours apply – contact us for more info!
Fishing Pond
Campers staying at Norden get free and exclusive access to the fishing pond.
It is located just behind the facilities block in the aptly-named Pond Field. Here you may find carp, rudd, tench and bream.
You might also spot ducks, geese and moorhens.
The following rules apply:
• No keep nets

• Barbless hooks only
Bait is not sold on site but Spam often does the trick and is available to purchase from the farm shop!

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.
Fantastic 2 night camping family camping trip - Family of 4 ( 2 yr old and 7yr old) we camped for 2 nights in the top field. Great location on a farm. Great facilities from showers/ toilets/ farm... read more shop kids play area.

It doesn't matter whether your kids are 3, 13 or 30 they all love this place.
Beautiful camping holiday in Dorset - Recently stayed at Norden Farm. Just a short walk from Corte Castle. The campsite has everything you need for a family holiday. We had an electric pitch. The camping fields... read more are all close to toilet blocks and washing facilities. It’s great for children there are lots of animals around the farm, two playgrounds. There is a well stocked shop. Fresh milk vending machine which you can make amazing milkshakes. Fridge and freezer facilities. The showers were always hot and toilet facilities cleaned regularly. A short walk and you can catch the steam train to Swanage and hire bikes from Purbeck Park. Swanage, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Wareham are all a short car journey. I would defiantly visit again we had an amazing stay.
Fantastic site! Has everything you need for a fab time away.
We came here with 2 families of 4 and 4 dogs between us. (Kids are 12, 10, 9... read more & 7) and had a wonderful break.
Good points:
VERY well stocked shop with decently long opening hours so no worries if you forget to bring something.
Showers are impeccably clean and you can adjust the height of the shower head and remove the shower head from the bracket making it soooo much easier to wash children’s hair. Decent water pressure to cope with rinsing my stupidly thick hair too.
Super friendly staff who were very helpful.
Really nice family site. Despite there being several larger groups whilst we were there, they appeared to be groups of families. No loud music/raucousness. Everyone was very respectful of each other.
Food shack on site serving breakfast & evening food if you can’t be bothered to cook.
Plenty of washing up facilities, taps in fields and dog poo bins so you don’t have miles to go to sort out those things.
Spacious fields with ooodles of room for pitching tents with friends.
Lovely play park and animals to keep the children entertained.
Only a 25 min walk into Corfe.
Bad points (and I’m really being critical here; I loved it and am booking to go back this year!)
There’s no decent coffee!! The food shack does food, but no latte/cappuccino/espresso options, so make sure you pack a cafetière and some ground coffee if you don’t like instant!!
If farm animals aren’t you’re thing, go to the far end of the field or pack ear plugs! The peacocks and donkeys are loud!
All in all, a fantastic site, definitely one we will be visiting again. Thank you all at Norden Farm!
