 Really enjoyed our stay here. Great location next to sea and outstanding coastal features.
Lovely walk along coast path to Sidmouth ( try Pea Green Boat cafe on seafront for excellent food and service at low cost after a walk in the splendid gardens near Jacobs ladder)
We didn't partake in the entertainment ourselves but it seemed great for families with regular weekend features also large well equipped outside play area
We did have a drink in the bar but I found the beer not to my taste and a bit expensive
Facilities very good incl toilets, level hard standing sea view pitches with water and ehu. Large fully stocked shop
I would think very busy in school holidays.
About 20mins walk to Otterton for bus if you need to go further afield

Just been for a week over half term.
Great site, no negatives (yes there are seagulls but you are next to the sea so what do you expect)
Showers and facilities were tip top - very clean and tidy and no queueing even though it was half term.
Shop great - prices very reasonable and well stocked.
Didn't do entertainment although ate in the Pebbles restaurant overlooking the bay - a little pricey at around £8.00 per meal although huge portions and you are on holiday!
Recommend this site to everyone!

Have just returned from a 6 day visit to this outstanding site and will be back there in the summer 2011. Outstanding service where the staff tow your caravan to your pitch and fetch it off at end of stay due to very steep hills.
GOOD POINTS; to many to mention really fireworks were brill on friday evening and lady in shop very helpful when hot water value snapped off in pointing us to nearest caravan shop
BAD POINTS: shower heads could do with relining as spraying everywhere, not many hooks for clothes, rubbish bins away behind shop complex, poss to stop pesky seagulls from making a big mess.
Being only 20 mins from j30 of M5 not hard to get to and plenty of places to visit nearby
Can't wait to go in summer to see what beach is like in warm weather and go for a swim in the sea.

Just returned from a 10 night stay at ladram bay, and I must say its the best site I have stayed on.
Positives:- shop, views, availability of food, pitches,
Negatives:- Toilets were looking a bit tatty for a premium site. Entertainment, the entertainers were great, but the material is the same as last year.
The pitches on the ridges were great, but pegging the awning was a nightmare (gravel pitches). We made the mistake of pitching our awning over a manhole and it stunk - beware of pitch 107.

This is probably the best site we have stayed at for our main summer holiday. We are considering staying there again next summer,something we have never done before as we like to try different places every year.
The pitches on the ridges have good views,(a man on a tractor tows your caravan to your pitch in minutes. Take advantage of this as the site is very steep) The toilet block was regularly cleaned and the carvery in the restaurant is great. The evening entertainment was very good and the site had everything needed for a nice family holiday. There was plenty to do in the local area and we could easily have stayed for another week and not struggled for things to do.
One thing to watch, dont follow your sat nav to do the last bit of the journey from the motorway and beware if you are new to caravanning the road to get to the site is steep and narrow. But don't let this put you off what is an excellent site.

Absolutely beautiful site, had 8 fantastic days with the 3 kids, lovely view from caravan window, beach fun for crabbing and boating (dingy brought from shop on site), pub had good view but prices were unreasonable. We went to the Kings Head in Otterton and had a lovely meal well priced and dog friendly. The only down side to this holiday was that dogs are not allowed on beaches in East Devon but other than that we would definitely return. Toilets and showers were ok, shop well stocked and reasonably priced, all staff were very friendly. When going to site put on sat nav AVOID YETTINGTON as it is a one way lane and not good for towing caravans.

This is for the ridges area only
arrived and is very commercial (caravan, awning, car, caravan, awning, car etc)
showers have nowhere to put clothes, towels with automatic sensor showers with not a lot of room and not the cleanest, sinks in the mens were terrible with water coming out of the tap where they should do + out of the handle all over the worktop at some rate.
family room running bath does not allow shower to run and when the bath is not running the shower is weak. Bath is clean and a space saver bath (1500 mm)
beach is 2 min walk but pebble(large pebbles) beach and stinks of seaweed at low tide.
Entertainment 'we think' was awful using the same 4 people singing all week and having talent competitions of the holiday makers(you are making your own entertainment)
pay for cash machine £2 charge
shop was good 8 til 8 and was well stocked
we had only take away one night but was reasonable considering it was commercial site
had my sons(4) scooter taken and was not recovered
will not be going back, very disappointed as to the money we had paid for the week
area around site (10 miles)is lovely
no washing machines etc

Fairly expensive site if you are camping and only want a pitch as the the price includes for electric hook up anyway. They do have budget pitches in school holidays though. Family entertainments, shop, places to eat, play area and swimming pool are all good. Stunning views from the campsite terraces. Pebbly, steep beach only 5 minutes walk from the camping area with the clearest water you will ever see. Watch out for the seagulls they are a real nuisance and will steal food from children's hands.

We are recently back from Ladram Bay. What a week. The weather was fantastic (which always helps) and the site was superb. Good clean toilet block and showers (on the Ridges). Staff all friendly and always willing to help.
Pebbles Bar and restaurant was good, drinks reasonably priced and what you would expect. The food was excellent and as previous reviews have stated the Carvery was brilliant value for money.
The entertainment staff did a fantastic job and our 4 1/2 year old thought the giant cuddly characters were great.
Swimming pool warm and again good facilities.
The pitch again was a good size with plenty of room. We were hardstanding fully serviced pitch, I think they may have been a design fault though when putting in the hard standing as the tap and drainage is on the awning side of the van, so unless you have a hose and a long waste pipe you will still be filling up and emptying waste every other day. Overall lovely views over the bay and we never felt cramped in at all.
As the weather was so nice we only ventured off the site on 2 days. 1 day we went to Exmouth and overall a nice town with a Tesco (and petrol station as there seems to be a lack of) and all you town shops and fish mongers. The second day when we left Ladram we took our son to Creoly Adventure and I must say well worth £14.50 to get in - FANTASTIC. And for those of you that did not know once you have paid you can return for upto six days after - just make sure you get an arm band when you leave.
Boat hire on the sea front was very good the owner was very helpful with fishing tips. A rowing boat that would easily sit 6 people was £10 for an hour. On the beach though be aware of the sea gulls as I unfortunately got poo'd on 3 times during the week (they say its supposed to be lucky - I didn't feel it)
One other tip with ref to sea gulls - don't leave your rubbish out side your tent or caravan as they will have and spend the early hours diving bombing it from the roof of people caravans! We regularly got woken at 4am but sea gulls dancing on the roof!
Overall a fantastic holiday - plenty of walking up and down to the pebbly beach (make sure you have sensible shoes for walking across the pebbles) Would definitely go back.

This site is one of those sites that takes your breath away when you enter the gates, the view is outstanding. The site itself I would happily give a rounded 8/10 all round, not many bad points at all.
So to review:
Good
Quick check in, 10 minutes from entrance to exit even due to me mixing up our dates and arriving a day early! Friendly staff considering my mistake. Quick to pitch us as we were on Hillside. ( tight spot). Excellent pitch amongst the seasonals, very cliquey as would expect but friendly enough.
Good location for toilet block. Clean toilets, showers. Fantastic carvery. Entertainment was average-great with professional team. Pool was clean and warm enough, arcade, kids club, park satisfied our 7 and 9 yr old. Beach was close and clean with kayaks for hire at £8 per half hour.
Food in Pebbles restaurant was great, best carvery I have had for years, shop sold most things reasonable price, local area good but you need a car to get there.
Bad
Shower pressure is so intense it hurt sensitive areas and my 7 yr old hated it. (on hillside so not sure what other block was like). Not enough bar staff in restaurant and at opening time for food at 6pm it was manic and no tables, chip shop was not good, chips were awful on 3 different occasions.
DOG OWNERS:
The area seems to have a tick problem. The local vets did a great job at removing a few of the blighters free of charge. They said the area had a bit of a problem with them so you may want to treat your furry friend before going but this isn't a huge problem is it!
The site is on a hill so be warned, but even with me on crutches for the last 3 days of my holiday (coastal walk was beautiful till I tripped!) I still managed to get around.
Dont rely on sat nav to not bring you down a dicey narrow lane, check out route before hand and head for Budleigh Salterton, seems to go all way round but it took us 2 miles out and that was a dream considering the road you will go down! Trust me if you are towing.
