SEE WHAT PEOPLE LOVE ABOUT STAYING AT NORDEN

  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.
Lovely walks (20 mins to Corfe Castle. 20 mins drive to studland bay beach.
Kids loved the animals and farm area.

  The best site we have ever stayed on - Norden Farm Campsite is a must for our annual trip to Dorset. Great location, fabulous facilities and such accommodating friendly staff.

Each year there are new improvements which... read more show the care put in by the whole team.

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!

  First rate family campsite - I'm staying here at the moment in our van, with my husband and our 2 year old boy. We are really hard pushed to think of any way this campsite... read more could improve. Excellent facilities! It is rare to be able to give a toddler an actual bath when camping. Another time, we would ask for a pitch closer to the main block, which has the family bathroom. The farm shop is great. We haven't sampled the cooked food yet, but we plan to. We enjoyed meeting the farm animals, especially the piglets. The location is perfect for a family who enjoy steam trains, castles, nature and the great outdoors in general.
