 Another happy stay at lovely Norden farm. We love this site for the fantastic location right near Corfe Castle and not far from Swanage and the lovely beaches at Shell bay, and for it's charming farm site atmosphere, great well looked after facilities and lovely views. The shop is vast and well stocked with lot's of basics and some more interesting bits and pieces, they also have a nice little garden centre with lots of nice plants etc for sale which is a nice extra. We have camped on various fields now and have our favourite, though most of them are nice. There is a hot food van which we have not used before but as we were in a rush one morning we had a bacon bap which was ok, and also does evening meals (we didn't try those). As always we loved seeing the farm animals and old machinery etc, part of the charm of this lovely site. The site has got more and more popular since we first came here years ago, but is as charming as ever. Look forward to next time.

Stayed over August bank holiday. The site was very busy but not overcrowded. Facilities good and generally clean. Floors suffer if it is damp and there are lots of people.
The reception is great, and staff very good. The shop is well stocked with food, drink, and general stuff including some camping equipment.
We were in the Top Field, which doesn't have marked pitches. There were a number of groups of families/friends. It was still a pretty quiet site overall though.
A van offers bacon rolls and other stuff for breakfast at weekends in summer
There is a small playground, which looked good, but my son is past that now so we didn't use it.
A great area to visit, and I would love to return and would certainly stay here again.

We stayed here end of July into August. It is the first time at this site. We will definitely be returning.
A well run friendly and relaxed site with a good shop and first class showers which have a tap rather than the annoying push button.
The site itself is situated on a working farm with the sights, sounds and smells associated with it which we loved we even got a discount for staying over 7 nights. There is a fishing pond which we will be taking advantage of next visit and a food van which we did not use but it is there if you want it.
There is a nice little path into Corfe Castle from the site although care should be taken walking it at night after visiting a local cider festival as a friend of mine found out when tripping into a bramble bush.
The is good access to Studland and Purbeck via car or bus and the Swanage railway is easily accessed by foot.

Nice site and in good walking distance from the village. Facilities were clean and we'll kept. Defined pitches. Although there did not appear to be any camper services.
The entrance to the pitches was through the farm so it was nice to see the calves, rams and goats. Sign up saying animals and children have priority so there were kids on bikes and scooters charging around everywhere!,
Would recommend.

Well appointed site, a short walk from Corfe Castle. Good play area and a tea/burger chip van on site. Reasonably quiet with good facilities. A mixed batch of units and campers. We had a great weekend in this picturesque valley. My only comment would be that a lot of dogs were off lead, which is fine but not everyone loves dogs. Not the best site if you are unkeen on dogs.

We stayed at this site recently and have rarely been to a more friendly dog site. First class facilities, which were kept spotless and a good shop with reasonable prices, One small point I would say is that it can get a bit too full but all in all a great site which we will use again

Nice spacious site. A little muddy as you have to negotiate the farmyard entering and leaving. Toilet block lovely and clean, although expect visits from ducks. Well stocked shop and friendly staff. A problem with an overloaded hook-up point was quickly resolved by the on-site technical man. 10 minute walk to the Swanage Steam Railway, but no decent footpath along the busy main road.

This was our second visit to the site and this time to camp with friends in the main field over the late May bank holiday weekend.
The site was busy but the main field is so large that you were not crammed in; we cook on petrol and cool on gas, so we could tuck ourselves well away from the hustle and bustle at the far end.
The shower blocks are really excellent, but there can be queues at peak times for the showers. As they are quite close together, it is worth walking to the other one to see if there is less of a queue.
The shop has practically everything you could wish for, but there was limited fresh meat this weekend; this was probably down to how busy they were. That is not a problem because shops and supermarkets are only a short ride away.
There is a really good footpath walk into Corfe which takes in the beautiful castle. If you like to run in the morning you can take the Corfe footpath at the entrance of the site and turn right halfway along to bring you over a hill and back into the site at the far end; that is about two miles and you can extend that to five if you go around Corfe and back over the hill on your way back. In the evening, the walk into Corfe is pretty easy and the town has some nice pubs.
As with most sites, if you book for the bank holiday you must pay for three nights; we could not get down for the Friday night and only stayed two nights, but we were able to book Saturday, Sunday and Monday night which meant we could stay as late as we wanted on the Monday before heading home.
The owners are really friendly and accommodating, so make a point of getting to know them when you check in. I needed to borrow some wooden blocks to level my camp-kitchen table, and they let me raid some from the barn in the farmyard.
Overall a very good site and, with cooked food available when you fancy a night off plus such good facilities, it is definitely one I would recommend for extended stays.

Stayed here for half term, on a EHU pitch in the main field. Yes it was busy, we were expecting that, but the site coped well, no queue for showers, although did run out of hot water by 8pm.
It's a good site, slightly sloping in our field (needed levellers on the folding camper), good sized pitch. Well stocked shop, very handy location and playground for the kids.
So why not 10 stars. For reason at 10pm a campsite employee and the owner of a seasonal caravan started angle grinding a trailer - great when you have got a 5 year old to sleep.
And the following night, the same campsite employee was using a petrol powered chainsaw to chop wood.
It's all very well having rules about campers being respectful and quiet - but it should apply to the staff as well.
We also got caught out by the shop changing opening hours on the last Sunday of half term. I can see why as the campsite was virtually empty then, but we didn't get any warning so ran out of milk.
However, I put these down to one-offs and I would return for another visit

Having holidayed in the area for years this was our first visit as normally Caravan at a site a few miles away nearer the sea. Having promised to take the Grandchildren camping and to Corfe Castle, the tank museum and Monkey world we decided to go under canvas for the bank holiday weekend. Looking over Corfe Castle and within 15 miles of Monkey world and the tank museum this was a great location. Despite the site being busy it was still fairly peaceful and the toilet and shower facilities were great.
With the shop handy to the site and Corfe Castle village within walking distance it was very handy for supplies and eating out. Our younger Grandchild loved the farm animals too and the peacocks are stunning.
I don't think we will be giving up our caravan anywhen soon so will mostly be staying at our favourite site by the sea but will certainly be back again if we are taking the Grandchildren camping.
Lovely site - A great inland site for sightseeing 6 miles from the sea.
