  • Family-run site on the Jurassic Coast with several play areas
  • Private beach and secluded bay access for guests
  • Golf, free entertainment and pool complex with Jacuzzi and sauna
Cor. You'll have to eat your collective hats if lads and lasses of all sizes don’t find a mega amount of things to do at Ladram Bay Holiday Centre overlooking the Jurassic Coast – it’s billed as the holiday park with ‘something for everyone’ and has been heaped with awards over the years. Having its own private beach and secluded bay probably helps too… An adventure playground with giant pirate ship (aaaarrr) and a fab outdoor playground (with multi-level adventure frame with slides, wobbly bridges, tunnels and obstacle course elements) are just a couple of the picks at this friendly family park; a toddlers' area with a smaller climbing frame means that mini guests have suitable space to play too. On top of that, kids’ and teen clubs will keep all entertained during the day, and the arcade with games should see them additionally amused. As should the megasaurus Jurassic-themed adventure golf course and its lurking dinosaurs, and the pool complex with slides, fountains, sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room and gym. On a fine day, the outdoor splash zone is the place for water babes and non-swimmers alike to play with spray jets, water features and pirate ships. An indoor soft play area is available for ages up to 12 – and, most thoughtfully – is right next door to the Pebbles Restaurant. The soft play area and other pastimes are in the Three Rocks complex, which also has the amusement arcade, Waves Bar and Nightspot and Sky and BT sports on the big screen. Elsewhere, supplies are covered with the well-stocked supermarket, Beach Shack and the Coast Takeaway for essential holiday fish and chips. Looking for even more to do? Ladram Bay Holiday Centre has a programme of instructor-led activities for a reasonable extra charge, where grownups and kids can try their hands at raft building, sea scooters and body zorbing. Or have a day on the centre’s private beach, with watersports from the shore, rockpooling towards the far end and kayak, rowing boat or motorboat hire from the kiosk.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Liked there were plenty of activities to do, golf, arcades, water activities, beach walks and trails. The restaurant and bar was fantastic, great service and the food was really good. They also had entertainment for the evening which is great.

Disliked: I would say the only thing that we didn't like was the restaurant didn't open till the afternoon which we found was unfortunate as you can go and get breakfast.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Yaaaay, a ten out of ten review, thanks so much, we are delighted that you enjoyed your camping stay with us. It's fantastic that you enjoyed dining at Pebbles Restaurant, for future reference our Beach Shack opens from 9am and serves breakfast up until 11am.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Loved the view from the ridges, nice walk to and along the beach and not overcrowded swimming sessions. I booked last minute after having a reservation cancelled due to flooding, the ladies answering the phone and the manager were so helpful and understanding. I've booked to go back next month and hope for some nicer weather :)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are so pleased that after an initial soggy start we were able to rescue your holiday! It's fantastic to read that you enjoyed the glorious view from our ridges area and we always love to see holiday photos of the bay. We will look forward to seeing you and the sunshine next month. Kind Regards, Aimee and the Ladram Bay team

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: The location is beautiful, you have a beach, coastal walks with amazing views. The food at the restaurant was lovely and had a good verity. The shop had nearly everything you could think of. There is an indoor pool, a club house and lots of activities through the day for younger children but nothing much for older teens. The toilets, Showers and Laundrette was immaculate every day.

Disliked: We were camping in a tent and unfortunately the weather had been particularly bad so the pitches were so muddy and water logged it was awful. Made worse by a tractor that kept driving all over the grass and tent areas to short cut, instead of using the road. The prices where quite expensive, so eating out or using the bar isn't going to be possible every night if you are on a budget. The shop is also quite expensive so you would be better off popping into Exmouth big Tesco 10 minutes down the road and doing a food shop. Also there is nothing to do for Teens, the arcade machines barely worked, and there is no WiFi or signal at all until you are in or around the restaurant or club house.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for leaving us a review from your recent camping stay, we do so wish that the weather had been kinder for our guests this Easter, we have experienced an unprecedented amount of heavy rainfall and as such this has made camping conditions even more un-predictable than they normally would have been in March. We are sorry that due to the weather our pitches did not present themselves to our usual 5 Star standard, however the team across the park did all that they could to try and make everyone’s stay as comfortable as possible. We do hope to see you back at Ladram in the summer months when teenagers can make use of our water sport hire. Kind Regards Aimee and the Ladram Bay team

Local attractions

Once you’re ready to go off site – sometime around week two, probably – the South West Coast Path is steps away and has stellar walks to Budleigh Salterton to the west and Sidmouth to the east. Inland, the Budleigh Salterton to Otterton five-mile walk follows the banks of the River Otter; the Otter Valley Wildlife Walk is an easy stroll through the Lower Otter Valley nature reserve to look out for kingfishers and waders from the river’s viewing platforms and hides. Twitchers can also head inland to the Exe Estuary RSPB reserve 13 miles away to see migratory birds or book a boat trip to spot avocets. Finally, if fishing’s your main hook, you won’t have far to go: many Ladram Bay guests fish from the park’s own cove, hiring a boat from the kiosk and going out to land mackerel for the barbie.
