 We had a week at Norden Farm Campsite, we were very pleased with this site.
The main toilet block is very nice.The showers are lovely and spacious,the only thing I have to moan about with the showers is the supply of water. The supply of water lacks pressure. They were always clean.
We were pleased to see that they cater for dogs very well, the dogs even have their own pooch parlour for washing your dogs after getting messy paws.
Due to the time of year, once booked in, we were told to find a pitch that we liked, we loved this. The field was very quiet, although the grass could have done with a cut.

We visited Norden camp site on 18/09/2010 for 1 week and really enjoyed the site and will use it again.
The facilities are the best we have used in the years we have had a caravan included in the facilities was even a room in which you can bathe your dog or in our case dogs brilliant
Also it had good dog walks which our dogs enjoyed dragging my husband around.
It is a lot bigger than it looks on first glance but every tent or caravan and motorhome has plenty of room so its not overcrowded.
There is a restaurant which we did not try this time but it always seemed busy.
You are close to nature deers peacock squirrels and then the farm animals.
The shop /reception sells everything fresh meat eggs flowers plants you name it they have it except daily papers so of to Corfe village for them.

Spent 3 nights here using 'The Sun' Camping for £1 vouchers - worked out to £16 for 3 nights - Bargain!
Able to choose own pitch, went in to donkey field. Now you get to know why its called donkey field - you can hear them. But that's all part of staying on a farm. Great shower block and washing up area. Good site shop and garden centre.
Visited corfe castle - 20 minute walk. The greyhound pub - served good food. Took steam train to Swanage. Bus stop also at campsite entrance. Plenty of lovely walks for the dogs. We will defo be coming here again!

Only found this site as some friends were staying on it! It's £5/n less than our 'normal' site in Wareham! It's a real working farm so looks tatty, muddy and smelly; however once past the farm buildings the fields are quite level with grass that was rather long considering it had just been cut (so wet grass walked into van, toilets, showers etc) but as others have said was quiet and very roomy.
Being September the food van was closed and the top shower block was closed, but toilets and washing up area was open.
With £5/n saving we'll be back and hope to use the B&B facility during the winter.

We are a semi-retired couple from NZ on our first camping trip in the UK and Norden Farm was our first try at a campsite. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and after booking for three nights, stayed an extra one.
The facilities are excellent with plenty of hot water in the showers - nothing extra to pay and they don't have push-buttons on them either. Good laundry (free use of the iron) using tokens bought from the farm shop. The shop has almost anything you could wish to buy and the staff were friendly and helpful.
It's a working farm which makes it more interesting. There's plenty to see in the area and we spent a day at Corfe Castle and another on a trip to Swanage on the Swanage Railway steam train which was great.
There is a good walking track to Corfe Castle and Village and make sure you visit the information centre first for some history on the area. We would very happily return to Norden Farm and highly recommend it.

Another stay at Norden Farm Campsite for us. It has been our favourite campsite for a year or so and we never tire of staying here.
We were surprised that they have smartened it up a bit this summer - it always used to be a little rough round the edges which was part of its charm, but tidying it up in places and being a bit more efficient with the booking system is no bad thing.
Their customer service skills have improved considerably and they were friendly and helpful all the time we were there. There are more facilities now and the new toilet and shower block is as nice as the other which makes things much better for the campers in the top field.
There is a family room, disabled facilities, unisex showers and gents/ladies showers, as well as wash cubicles and separate toilets with sinks. There's even a doggy shower which my mutt has used, if your forget the dog shampoo they sell it in the garden centre shop along with bonios and plenty of human food too!
The best thing about this site is the location, right on the Purbeck Way and you can walk to the village in 20 mins via a pretty pathway. Blue Pool is a very pretty walk too and there are many more excellent walks in the area such as Stoborough Heath and of course Studland.
It's a relaxed dog-friendly site, so don't camp here if you don't like dogs, there are farm dogs too. I have never seen any problems with the dogs and they all seem to have a good time socialising together.
There are often sheep or cows in the neighbouring field so if you have a dog that doesn't like farm animals this site would not be suitable. The Greyhound Inn is easily the best pub in Corfe (if not the south) and is dog-friendly and does excellent food, beer and entertainment.
There are other pubs too but have never had need to try them! The National Trust Tearooms do a mean cream tea and you can take dogs into the garden but not the cafe.
The farm is a bird spotter's paradise though and we frequently hear owls, woodpeckers, cuckoos and many others. Plenty of rabbits too up on Norden Heath which is the 'dog walk' for the site.
We never feel as relaxed as we do at Norden Farm - you have to relax and go with the flow because when the cattle are crossing you just gotta wait - and we can't wait to go back. My only criticism? It's not open in deepest darkest winter so we have to go a few months without it!

This site is a working farm and has 3 fields two with electrical hook up's and a tent pitch, and what appeared to be some long term caravanners. We had booked a tent pitch and this was first experience on this site.
The site reception was closed on arrival 6.15 friday evening. Nobody to greet us, no information as to what to do. Fellow campers were told by other campers what to do.
Amenities two sets: modern,were fairly clean, showers good, kitchen sink area was clean.There is a small children's area which was close to the lower facilities and a small pets corner.
Lack of organisation on site,some tents too close together, generators were being used even thought site says none to be used.
Major event was being run on site (motorcycles) which no objection too if had been informed previous to booking. This caused lots vehicles arriving late evening and early morning. Loud engine noises early in morning, our tent completely surround by van's and trailers and motorcycles riding round tent.
A beautiful area with lots to see and do, durdle door, corfe castles, lulworth cove, worbarrow bay, tyneham valley all well worth visiting.
A site we will not visit again.

This is a wonderful site to stay at, from the friendly greeting on your arrival, where nothing seems to much bother for the staff, to the size of pitches. The reception is located in a very well stocked farmshop, where you can purchase anything you have forgotten. They even have the facility to charge mobiles and car batteries (both for a small extra fee).
There are several fields to camp in with electric hookup and one field for tents only. The campsite is set on a working farm, and all the staff will happily answer any questions whether camping, local attractions, or animal related. There are two very well built toilet blocks which are both cleaned regularly throughout the day, both have shower blocks attached and dish washing facilities.
There is a small children's play area outside one of the blocks, so chores can be done and kids can amuse themselves while being supervised. There is a 10 mile an hour limit on the site as there are many animals wandering around, so gives extra safety for all campers. There is also an area dedicated to pets corner, where you can see a variety of animals, close up. There is also a pond on the site, which is not fenced off, so children must be supervised. We will be going back to this site soon, and look forward to it.

Just come back from a weeks holiday. We stayed in the pond field. Cannot fault the campsite. Good sized pitches, hot and powerful showers, which I did not have to queue for once. Clean toilets and good washing up facilities. There was a van on site that served breakfasts and dinners which was handy. We had terrible weather, wind and rain most days but the ground dried out very quickly. Well stocked shop which is open from 8am to 8pm.Only a 20 minute walk from Corfe Castle. Will go back to Norden farm again.

This must be one of the best campsites around. We have been going here on and off for over ten years now and the site never fails to surpass expectation, it seems to be just that little bit better on each trip and is such good value for money considering other sites around.
The site is well managed and has excellent shower and washing facilities, was most impressed to see that they have introduced a takeaway wagon this year which makes life just that bit easier in poor weather.
We pitched in the middle field this time and despite significant downpours of rain the pitch and the road way was well drained and did not flood. We have had pitches all over this site and have yet to find a bad one.
The park is great for the kids as is the working farm. All the staff are helpful kind and very friendly, you really do feel you are being looked after. The on site shop is like aladdins cave and stocks just about everything you could think that you need and some more. (good wellies)
The area is perfect for a family holiday, the steam train to Swanage is delightful and Swanage itself is beautiful. There are good walks in and around the campsite to Corfe and beyond. Lulworth Cove is magical and Lulworth Castle is well worth a visit, the Studland beaches are great (worth joining the National Trust to avoid the parking fees).
A truly magnificent campsite in a great location with so much to do it should keep you and your family entertained for years if not generations.
