Scottie P2024-10-14 Lovely staff , lovely facilities, lovely location. Brilliant campsite, very, very clean all the staff were lovely and very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. One of the best campsite shops I have ever seen and very reasonably priced. The bus stop is just out side the site and will take you to Swanage one way and Poole the other. You can even catch the steam train for more leisurely travel if you like. The walk to Corfe Castle is a delight as is Corfe itself. Would definitely recommend this campsite Trevor P2024-08-11 Excellent holiday I found Norden Farm to be well presented and looked after. There is an excellent farm shop selling the grocery basics at reasonable prices, camping equipment including airbeds, gas ETC, and a small garden centre. The showers were hot and powerful, and the toilets were clean and not smelly. There are 3 freezers at the top field and small lockable lockers where you can charge mobiles ETC for free. It also has 2 children's play areas and a small range of animals that children can interact with. The only suggestion I would make is that the top field could do with pitch markers. People were pitching tents any and everywhere, making it difficult to drive on/off site. kjnash742024-07-30 Great family site Great campsite. We loved it ❤️. Yes, light sleepers will get woken up at 5am by the Cockerel and the Peacock but that is part of the fun! Husband and son slept through! Clean facilities and the washing up area had lots of hot water. We used the laundtette too, easy to use and staff very helpful. The farm shop is great and meant we didn’t have to find a supermarket during our stay. We will be back 😊 Jen H2024-07-30 Lovely Campsite in a beautiful location, will be back Just returned home from a lovely few days at Norden Farm and it was one of the loveliest campsites. Facilities were excellent with lovely, powerful hot showers. A 20 minute walk to Corfe Castle with one of the most beautiful views. The Farm shop is reasonable and very well stocked. Opening times could be a bit longer but fine to work around it. The children loved seeing the animals especially the donkeys. They are very happy and a lovely addition to keep the children occupied. The play area near the animals is excellent with a trim trail, monkey bars and climbing frame. Plenty of space and water points all around and the fridge, freezer and charging lockers were a welcome addition. People didn't adhere to the 6 metre camping rule but that is not a reflection on the campsite more just people being selfish. All in all a really lovely trip and we would love to return.Tripadvisor rating score: 4.5 of 5, based on 421 reviews
Philippa T2024-12-14 We booked to stay here for a long weekend with friends in October. The campsite is in a fantastic location, close to Corfe Castle and a perfect distance to explore the local area on foot. The showers/toilets were clean! We only stayed one night in the end due to bad weather but will definitely be back. Richard Phillp2024-10-18 Great site and facilities. The best site shop ive ever been in, if it's not in there you don't need it. Great vicinity to Swanage railway and easy access to great cycling routes. Good wifi onsite if you need it. Julie Wetherell2024-09-26 We have just had a lovely time on the farm. Great friendly staff are very helpful. Special shout out to Jenny! Sadly rain stopped play for us today and returned home. We will come back I'm sure. Xx thankyou AlexDreamer2024-09-17 Beautiful campsite set in a valley right next to Corfe Castle and the village of Corfe. Huge camping field behind the smaller one as you drive in. Excellently stocked farm shop and during the holidays they have guest food vendors visiting site which was brilliant. Live music on certain dates too. You'll probably spot a Peacock or two whilst walking yo and from the shop, they have free reign of that area. Pitches are nice and flat with plenty of space for the kids to play safely. Valerie Freegard2024-09-11 We love this Campsite and have been using it for 10 years . It is in such a beautiful location. The site is beautifully kept always clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly x We would highly recommend this lovely place to stay 🥰Google rating score: 4.6 of 5, based on 796 reviews
