 What a fantastic site! Clean shower / toilet block with plenty of hot water. We never had to queue no matter what time of day we went.
They also have a great family bathroom, ideal for coping with 'wash time' for 3 children under seven years old. Washing up facilities very good as is the on site shop and not too expensive.
Nearest supermarket 4 miles away in Wareham. Playground is small but more than adequate and having the animals on site was great for the children.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. And all this in a ideal situation to discover this part of Dorset!

We had a lovely two night stay at Norden Farm. The campsite is charming but with modern, clean facilities. The playground is a great and is overlooked by the washing up facilities which is handy.
There is a family bathroom but I wonder if demand for this would be high in peak season-nice addition though. The toilets and showers are nice and clean, we were on the top field and the shower block there does not have a bench in the cubicle (just a minor thing but I like somewhere to put my stuff down as the floor is of course wet).
The showers by the playground did have a pull down bench. There was a take away if you were hungry but didn't want to cook. The camp shop was nice and handy and sold fresh eggs.
You are free to wander around the farm (permitted area's only) which my kids loved. Lots of different animals roaming around. Nearby is Corfe Castle which you can walk to (approx 20 minutes and off road which was nice).
Swanage and Wareham are a short drive away. We didn't visit and pubs or restaurants but both were close by.
We were pitched in the non-electric field and had wonderful views of the countryside.
I would recommend this campsite if you want to get away from it all and get back to nature.

What a fantastic friendly site where all staff are helpful and polite. Situated in a beautiful location, with stunning views and surroundings, the site is definitely one to visit again. Suitably equipped and clean with varying types of pitches to cater for every type of camper.
The on-site B&B and gardens were lovely and the farm animals appealed to everyone, on many occasions! (Sad to think that someone had mistakenly taken a guinea pig - we hope he was returned).
Great routes for cycling and walking and close to main towns if needed.
Highly recommended and we will no doubt return.

The site is part of a working farm but don't let that put you off as you wouldn't really notice most of the time. There are 3 fields to camp in, the top field was the only field without electric hookup. The shower block was cleaned on a regular basis and there was a good number of cubicles so you didn't have to wait for a shower. The on site shop was packed with all the essentials and more. The steam railway is a 10 minute walk from the site and is worth a go into Swanage. Corfe village is about a 20 min walk and is very pretty, make sure you pay it a visit. All in all well worth a trip. We don't have kids so didn't score it on the child friendliness.

What a great site! We have just returned from a lovely long weekend at Norden Farm. It was our first visit and I must say it was one of the best we have stayed on, and what a bargain too! We used the Daily
Mirror 'camp for 95p vouchers and got three nights with electric and both our young girls for £23.
The site it's self is well spaced with enclosed fields and the farm yard animals were a hit with the girls. There were some lovely walks straight off the site to take our dog out for a run and the facilities were excellent and always clean.
Over all a fantastic child & dog friendly site. I would definitely recommend it.

Just returned from another week at Norden and as always leave totally refreshed and saying it is my favourite campsite ever.
Site itself is as stated on a working farm, you may find anything from peacocks to ponies wandering around free range at times, you may also come across day old lambs, posturing turkeys or new born goats.
Pitches are really spacious and flexible, the shower block in the main field is amongst the best I have come across with unlimited time and constant heat and pressure if you choose the right cubicle.
The shop sells all you can need at fair prices, even chickens and has the bonus of a garden centre. Playground is small and enclosed . The site directly links to cycle ways, walking routes and a steam train link to Swanage, plus buses but no traffic or road noise.
Check the RSPB nature reserve nearby at Arne, the sand dunes At Studland or venture further towards Ringwood (45 mins drive) to Linford and take paddling gear, kids dogs and a picnic.
Visit Reeves bakery in Ringwood for the best foccacia and apple cake ever. As with all sites you get more room and relaxation if you avoid peak times and can visit mid week or out of school holidays

We camped here on a very busy and windy bank holiday weekend, we arrived on a Thursday so had a a huge field to ourselves but it really did fill up!
Good atmosphere as lots of groups but difficult to see kids in amongst all the tents. Farm animals galore which was great.
Facilities were really good and the shop stocked loads of stuff so not a problem if you forget anything (water container for the 3rd time!).
Play area was away from the field and near to farm machinery so one of us always went with the children, we have to stay by our tent to as we have dogs.
You can walk to Corfe and also get the steam train to Swanage which was great. The Purbeck Way runs along side so good walks all round.
A lovely site but it did get very busy and seemed that there were many more than the 92 pitches stated.

I will try to start with the positives, which to be honest is only the site's location. 20 minutes walk to the lovely village of Corfe Castle. Nice pubs, beautiful buildings and a wonderful castle ruin.
The site is self reminded me of a refugee camp. Tiny pitches, very, very close together, basic facilities and oh my god, the smell. You really know this is a working farm.
This fishing lake (pond) was so green, I expected a creature from a horror movie to climb out. Also very close to a busy main road. We won't be back.

We stayed here for two nights with friends over the Easter weekend.
Booking in took a while. Once we had we were taken to our pitch. Next to our friends.
Well stocked shop.
Campsite is lovely and picturesque.A great walk into Corfe Castle,20 minutes. Walk starts at the front of the site. No roads at all until in Corfe.
Showers were clean etc. Very busy.
An excellent site in a great location.

We have just got back from a week in our caravan. The pitches are large and well spaced out, the showers and toilets were always clean but as stated the water pressure in the showers could do with a boost. The on site shop is well stocked and very reasonably priced and the staff where always friendly and helpful
The site is within a 10 min walk of the Norden steam train station and a bus stop is right outside the front gates which will take you to Swanage, Wareham or Poole. A 15 min walk will take you into Corfe itself with stunning views of the castle.
As this site is on a working farm there is the smell of the farm about though this cant be smelt from the campsite. There is a small play area for the children though this could do with some lighting for the evenings.
