  • 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: Lovely park although not much room for tent pitches all quite close. Other than that lovely park really clean facilities. Check out time a bit early. And having to pay so much for swimming when paying to camp is alot. Beautiful views of the bay

Disliked: Pitch size on top of neighbours much more space if brining touring van.. but alot of space to make tent pitches bigger. The price for swimming

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: The site facilities, lots to do all in lovely condition. Very clean!

Disliked: The fact that you have to pay for swimming when in touring rather than static/apartments. You already pay more for the site as it has these facilities, why do some get discount and others get it for free? WiFi is pants!

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Nice Park staff was nice, food in restaurant was good. Bar and terrace was very good even have a covered area so if it did rain and you have a dog you can still there.

Disliked: The pitch was a nice.size but the hill you have to go up to get to your pitch is crazy. Even more.so when you see there are empty pitches at the bottom of the hill for motorhomes. There's also only one place to take your rubbish which is yes, all the way down the hill to the far side of the carpark. Shower blocks and WC are very dated and are in need of updating. Also only get WIFI at the bar area all the activities was extra so the cost of a 4 day break here was very high for what you get which is a pitch

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Great pitch. Spaced out well. People onsite were great. Food was good from Pebbles restaurant. Beer reasonably priced. Beach great.

Disliked: Although most of our food was great, I ordered ribs with a side of mac and cheese, the ribs were ok, sauce just dropped on it, but the mac and cheese was just pasta water with a cheese topping. Very bland.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad you enjoyed the pitch, the friendly atmosphere, and the food from Pebbles Restaurant. It’s great to hear that you found the beer reasonably priced and enjoyed our private beach. We are sorry to hear about the issues with the ribs and mac and cheese, we will pass this feedback on to our kitchen team. We hope to welcome you back soon.

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.
