About Us
When our parents opened a field to visiting campers in 1943 nobody could have foreseen the success of Ladram Bay. Since then we’ve become one of the largest family-owned holiday parks in the UK.
Find out more about the history of Ladram Bay and what really makes our holiday park special.
Where we started
Back in the 1940s our Park was tenanted farmland that was worked by Frank William Sydenham Carter, or FWS for short. During the summer he would occasionally let campers pitch up in a field that overlooked the bay providing fresh milk and eggs as well. Pretty soon FWS realised that his land could provide extra income in the lean post-World War II years, and so he began to develop a proper campsite. With the help of his wife, FWS grew Ladram Bay to incorporate static caravans and a shop. Come the late 1950s the park was becoming so popular that the workload was overwhelming. To make Ladram Bay a park to be proud of, a manager and extra staff were hired. FWS carried on leading the park until his retirement in 2006, by which time we had become one of the largest privately owned holiday parks in the country. With FWS' son and daughter, Robin and Zoe, now guiding the park, we are more successful than ever with hundreds of owners and thousands of guests visiting Ladram Bay each year.
