[Mr Mrs H]

We return to this lovely campsite https://nordenfarmcampsite.com/ on grass EHU pitches in 2024 - once again we have a 10% discount for those booking early between 1 November - 31 December for this May meet. It's first come, first served for places in the scenic Pond Field during that booking period. If you might want to join us all then please post on this forum thread & I will alert everyone when booking opens. This discount will also be applied to any extra nights added to the Meet dates if booking by 31 December
Please note that any bookings that are less than 7 nights or made in 2024 will not qualify for the early booking discount.
The meet dates (arriving 9 May & departing on 16 May) should work well for those who wish to then go on to the Warner's Newbury Show & know that some will stay longer at the campsite too as there's so much to explore in that part of Dorset.
As gozomike kindly mentioned the timing is good for Swanage Diesel Gala again https://www.swanagerailway.co.uk/events/view/diesel-gala
The extensive facilities are excellent https://nordenfarmcampsite.com/campsite-facilities/ with the fishing, a well stocked farm shop, copious hot water in the clean showers & washing up area, the scenic location & footpaths plus a bus stop outside the campsite to Swanage & beyond, being just a few of the most popular features this year.
There will be nothing formally organised by us there, other than a friendly welcome & perhaps some impromptu, optional, evening gatherings for Funster chats, so a gentle introduction for anyone who isn't sure that meets & rallies might suit them. Everyone is of course welcome to arrange get togethers, walks etc & invite others to join if they wish.

**************************************************************************************************************************************************

UPDATE 30/10/23
The pitch prices for 2024 are the same as for this year - full price list & terms are here https://nordenfarmcampsite.com/campsite-tariff/ & are particularly good value for smaller motorhomes & solos. Once the Pond Field is full there may still be pitches in the other camping fields which are also lovely but as they are somewhat separate can lack the same day to day camaraderie of fellow Funsters nearby although all are welcome to come & say hello & join or arrange any gatherings

The campsite prices are summarised below (as a guide only) with 10% early booking discount (ends 31 December) off booking price for Funsters for 7 night Meet 9-16 May 2024 - if you extend your stay in addition to these dates the discount should also apply to those extra nights.

As some may want to cycle from the Campsite (busy roads though) here's clarification about bike use:
"Regarding the bikes, our new rules are there to ensure that children on site are not cycling up and down the roads which they had been currently doing. We have found it quite challenging this season with the children not knowing the rules of the road, so we decided to act before any incidents occur. We have no issue with your members riding their bikes as long as they stick to the speed limit on site and are aware of our machinery operating."
