 We had arranged a rally for 28 of our friends. The site had been extremely helpful arranging this meet.
Unfortunately we arrived when the weather turned very wet for a couple of days, but the management were very helpful in providing rubber matting to enable one of friends, who is an amputee, to access his mobility scooter as the pitches are on grass.
There is a very well stocked shop, and up to date toilet facilities. There is a bus stop right outside the farm, enabling us to visit all the surrounding area, of which there were lots of places to visit.
We would definitely return to this farm in the future.

Just returned home after an enjoyable 15 night stay at Norden again, this is about our 5th stay here, and we like the location for its easy "20 min" walk to Corfe castle and village, bus stop and steam train station just across road from site entrance, and of course the famous Studland beaches.
Wild sika and fallow dear surround the site in the adjacent woods and fields, and can sometimes can be heard calling in the night, along with Tawny owls.
Peacocks, ducks, chickens and geese roam about the site.
We were on Main field right this time, and caravans on here tend to go longways across the pitches, so your awning faces the centre of the field, which means you always have a view from your awning instead of facing the next van, which I prefered.
If there's a downside to the site, it is that there are no hard standings, so all awnings and tents, are on the grass, or rather soil, as from the opening date the grass never gets a chance to recover, we moved pitches after first night, because it rained and pitch was sludgy so I found a much better pitch, with more grass, at the other side of the same field, and after the receptionist "shuffled" some bookings I moved the van over on the motor-moover, we then set up our awning and were much more settled.
All in all a very enjoyable stay,
Oh and I had an email just before Christmas to say that if I book and pay for the entire stay before the new year it was a fiver a night cheaper, - so a no brainer on that at 25 quid a night

A second trip to this delightful site. An admin glitch meant check in was slow and confusing, but after that everything went nicely. There was no on-site catering during our stay, so we hired a firepit to cook jacket spuds whilst we barbecued separately over charcoal. Tasty.
Supplies from the shop are comprehensive and very good but very expensive - it's worth going into Wareham for the big Sainsbury's and other food options. The fish and chip shop is very good.
The scenery here is really beautiful. It was good to see the bridleway through the woods next door busy with bikers and horse riders. Farm animals and peacocks add to the interest on site.
It's a busy site and run quite commercially - we had to pay for three nights for our two night bank holiday stay - and we were visited by a minion on a grumble-buggy to encourage us to clear off.
The amenities are cleaned daily and very effectively, but it does mean the whole black shuts completely for ~two hours and you have to schlep to the other end of the site to use the other block.
To sum up, it's a good site but I'm finding it hard to enthuse over it.

This campsite was recommended to us by friends who have stayed a few time. The shop is good and sells everything you could want. The facilities (we were end of season so only the main ones were open) were spotless, great showers, cubicles with sinks. Auto lighting could stay on a little bit longer, I’m pretty quick going for a wee but they still turned off!
The washing up area was very good and the dog wash area looked very good!.
The free WiFI was welcome and worked where we were.
Personally I think the pitches are a bit small and I prefer a few trees and hedges around rather than a big open field but that is personal preference.
Lots af great things to do from the site, walk to Corfe castle or Wareham - both lovely walks. The woods by the site are lovely too. Fantastic countryside.
Buses are easy to get from just outside the site. Loads of peacocks wandering around that aren’t bother by people or dogs.

The only thing that we felt could be an improvement would be an indication as where to park on arrival to check in.
Other than that all was fine, site and amenities all well kept, enjoyed our stay very much.

This was a family return to camping after a 5 year or more break and a first trip for our 2 year old grand daughter. Just out of the school holidays so the site was starting to empty out and the 'extra' facilities (entertainment, catering) were running down.
This was ideal for us, we prefer 'quiet', and our granddaughter who had acres of empty space to run around.
The on site shop was ideal for the few bits of kit and food that we had forgotten. Phone charging cabinets were a very welcome innovation.
Other facilities on site were clean and well maintained.
Our pitches in the Top Field were flat and the grass was well kept.
The animals on site were the highlight for our granddaughter, running off to visit them at every opportunity.
A visit to Studland Bay beach, where we spent most of the day, was brilliant, warm and sunny.
The steam train, from just outside the camp, through to Swanage was great.
A riverside fish and chip dinner was a great way to round off a shopping trip to Sainsbury's at Wareham.
Overall, we had a lovely short holiday we would thoroughly recommend the site, especially outside of school holidays, and for those with toddlers.

My wife and I, along with our 3 year old Spaniel had 2 very enjoyable nights at Norden Farm campsite.
I love camping - my wife doesn’t and rarely comes with me. However, even she enjoyed the great location, campsite shop with everything we needed ( and lots we didn’t but couldn’t resist), the peacock wandering around and very good facilities.
I’ll be back, as will my spaniel - my wife, well let’s see. Top rated site.

What a lovely campsite with excellent facilities and buses that run from just outside the entrance to Swanage, Poole and beyond.
It’s in a beautiful setting and very peaceful with lovely walks nearby. We walked to Corfe castle through a footpath and across a field. It was an easy walk for us but probably not so good for those with reduced mobility.
The shop is well stocked and the toilets and showers are excellent as is the washing up room.
We are returning next year so shows that we liked it enough to return.

Absolutely lovely campsite, full of animals, play area and ball area.
Toilets and showers very clean and a very well stocked farm shop and dairy dispenser ( my son said the milkshake was amazing )
Would definitely come again and recommend to friends and family.
Staff were very friendly 😃

Back at Norden Farm again, this is a lovely place. I have been coming here since 2017 and always have a good time.
The facilities are constantly improving and are well maintained. Best showers I have found.
Look forward to returning next year.
