  • 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.

Alice C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: On arrival the security who let us in was very friendly and welcoming. The location of the site was good, and the views were amazing. The pitch was level and roomy. The beach was nice Good layout, everything was easy to get too Fab soft play which was free

Disliked: The toilets unfortunately were not clean. If this had been a one off then I wouldn’t have mentioned it, but every time I used the facilities they weren’t clean. I really didn’t agree with the price of access to the swimming pool. Center Parcs swimming pool is included in the price and although I don’t think it should be free at Ladram bay, it should be a lower charge. For four adults and a small child it cost £33 for us all for an hour. I know that’s standard at a leisure centre, but when your paying to camp then it should be discounted so it’s accessible for all families.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Loved the views, the facilities are clean and tidy. Prices for drinks etc were reasonably cheap for a holiday park. Very close to the beach. Entertainments for children was excellent and bingo every night for the adults. Toilets and showers plentiful and clean. Would deffo come again.

Disliked: The hill to get back up to the touring pitches is very steep. The slope leading to plot 121 especially so. As I suffer from arthritic knees the walk down was very painful.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Really lovely place amazing scenery, lots of Amenities, toilets and showers very clean, fish and chip shop amazing, beautiful and well kept holiday park. Staff all were friendly. The Beach was beautiful and well maintained. The pool was great and well looked after but very busy!

Disliked: The plots weren’t clearly marked when we arrived and people were kinda half pitched into our plot number and it seemed most were like a domino effect. When most people left on Sunday they did start marking these out but the spray paint was so strong ! Would have also loved a little park around the camping area for the kids rather than having to walk down to all the amenities as it seems they only have the one park which is quite unusual for a site like this. There was also a lot of stinging nettles growing out the bushes so before pitching up I had to cut the bigger ones that were poking out back, as I have a three year old who enjoys running around barefoot. Phone signal was bad for 4 and 5G (3 network) and the WiFi was very patchy .

Liked: Toilet blocks were good and clean by pitch 121.

Disliked: Kids kicking doors in toilet blocks and throwing tissues round. Kids climbing on top of toilet blocks built into hill. Not safe, should be barriers.

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.
