Glamping

Norden Farm is a family-run touring and camping site on a working farm just outside Corfe Castle in the Isle of Purbeck. It has four level grass fields, three with electric hook-up and a six-acre free-pitching field used for tents and VW campers in peak season. There is no hardstanding anywhere. Electric pitches are allocated to you based on what you book, though you can ask for a specific one.

Two large facilities blocks have flush toilets, free hot showers, private wash basins, a family room with a bath, an accessible toilet and wet room (RADAR key), a laundry room, indoor washing-up rooms and a free dog-shower. There are fridges and freezers, lockable chargers, a gas exchange and free wifi across the camping fields. A well-stocked farm shop on site sells groceries, firewood and camping gear, and a food vendor operates in the pond field in season.

Campers get free fishing in the on-site pond (closed until 2027 for maintenance), a playground, an off-lead dog field, farm animals and summer music events. A footpath leads to Corfe Castle village in about 20 minutes, the steam railway to Swanage is a five-minute walk and buses stop at the entrance. Norden House sleeps 14 and a cottage sleeps 4 for those who prefer a roof.
