 Really fantastic site that has exceeded our expectations. Communication before the stay was excellent. Flat, level pitches, lots of space, decent facilities.
Lovely little playground and lots of animals for the kids. Excellent large farm shop selling all the necessities, lovely fruit and veg and chilled drinks including excellent local cider, beer and wine.
There’s a very exciting vending machine selling luxury local dairy products - perfect for a dessert of Dorset strawberries and cream. Fire pits for hire and good value wood and coal available. Food vans for breakfast and dinner from Wednesday onwards (I think this varies from week to week).
There has been a problem with the water during our stay, the campsite has solved this by providing temporary showers. There were a group of noisy campers on our first night, these were dealt with by staff, for which we were extremely grateful!
The campsite is a 15m footpath walk away from the lovely village of Corfe castle, with several decent country pubs.
The one improvement I would make to the site is to provide an additional toilet block at the end of the top field, as it is quite a walk from here to the nearest facilities in the dark.
All in an extremely pleasant experience and I will definitely return.

Could not fault the site.
Granted it was the first week after lockdown so was somewhat empty, facilities were great.
Nice level field. Excellent shop on site.
Showers etc, superb. Instant hot water.
It's on a working farm so there are quite a few animals around. Including a flock of peacocks.

This is the fourth year running that I have come to Norden Farm for my summer holiday. Its a really friendly site where everyone is more than happy to help if you have a problem - both the staff and your fellow campers.
Because of the weather forecast I arrived a day early so my first night on site was interesting due to the gale force winds and torrential rain but after that there was a marked improvement in the weather making for an extremely relaxing holiday.
I walked down to Corfe castle - visited the castle and rewarded myself with a delicious cream tea from the National Trust tea shop which is next door.
This year I decided on a day trip to Guernsey on the high speed ferry from Poole. It was a great day out - you get about 4 hours in Guernsey and I'm definitely going back again next year. On top of all that Guernsey has no sales tax so you can make a significant saving if you buy from there. On top of that there is duty free on the boat so you can stock up.
Counting the days until I go back to Norden Farm - I booked next years trip before I left the site this year.

A great place to stay, lovely farm shop and lots of space in Top Field.
The chilli and breakfast bap from the food van was an added bonus
Stunning views on walk to Corfe from gate at top of Top field.
Really friendly.

We chose this site mainly for its location and facilities. It's a lovely site and we are wanting to return. The site is divided into 3 smaller more formal fields with electric, and then a top field which has more pitch freedom.
Groups are requested to pitch on one side here and individual tents on the other which I thought was a good system. The pitches are spacious and mainly level.
The facilities are very good, there are two main blocks spread out. The toilets were clean and big showers without press buttons, although I found the block nearer to pond field and the top field more likely to have queues- it's worth walking over to the others if this is the case.
Washing machines and tumble dryers, washing up under cover, a little playpark, a fishing pond and a small farm are all here too. Ice blocks are available to hire from the shop for 25p, there are no facilities to freeze your own.
The on site shop is excellent and offers a good range of camping essentials and food. We were also appreciative of the on site food- there is a stand throughout the summer offering fast food- burgers and chips, chilli etc as well as visiting hog roasts, pizzas and cheese toastie vans. Twice, there was a music evening which was low key (all finished by 9:30pm) and rather enjoyable.
It's a short walk to Corfe from the campsite, where there is a small village, the castle, access to the steam railway and a number of pubs that also serve food- the Bankes Arms had a fish speciality night which we thought was excellent.
We also visited Studland bay beaches, Brownsea island, Swanage, Tyneham and other coastal walks, all easy enough from the site (although there is also a bus service which stops outside the entrance too).

Lovely site, if not a bit busy at weekends. Shop is brilliant, lots of local provisions and plants too.
Lots of geese roaming about and peacocks, many of the animals are rescued. Good walks direct from site, near Corfe castle etc.
We were pitched by some seasonal campers, who were lovely, we had a problem with our awning, and they really helped us along with our neighbours.
Staff very friendly and helpful, would visit again.

Another pleasant stay at Norden Farm, I last stayed here 2 years ago. The site is well maintained, with level pitches available throughout. A real farm with a friendly staff who I have always found helpful.
The walk into Corfe is very good, the Purbeck Way adjoins the site and is a good way to get into Corfe, but the other path is also handy. The Swanage Railway from Norden station is only 10 mins walk away, and a ride to Swanage is a good day out.
I look forward to staying here again.

We have just returned from a week at Norden Farm, having stayed with my son and his young family on an adjacent pitch. We all had a good time and cannot recommend this site too highly for family groups.
The site is well managed and kept clean and tidy in spite of our visit being at a very busy time in the heart of school holidays.
We are already planning to return next Summer.

As others have said it is difficult to add to what other positive things people have said about the site. We really enjoyed our 2 weeks and the only blemish are other campers and you can't blame the site for that, not sure they would make a lot of money if they all opened for my exclusive use LOL.
The Star filled skies at night are great. The occasional event is a great plus. The facilities are well looked after and things that are broken all seemed to be fixed the next day. There is a takeaway food van all through Summer and occasional visiting Pizza Oven and Hog roasts too.
We will be back.
