The park was originally tenanted farm land and back in the 1940's it was farmed by a very young Mr FWS Carter, who during the summer months allowed the occasional camper to pitch a tent in one of his fields overlooking the bay, he would also supply fresh milk and eggs if required.
It did not take the young farmer long to discover the land he farmed had the potential to earn some much needed extra income during the years immediately after the war and so for the next few years he began to develop a recognised camp site which he and his wife ran between them until around the late 1950's.
By this time, with the introduction of static caravans and a small shop, the work load was too much for the two of them and so he took on a manager and outside staff.

Over the next 50 or so years until his retirement in 2006, the successful farmer managed to build and develop one of the largest privately owned holiday parks in the country, with many prestigious awards to its name. Ladram Bay became a firm family favourite for thousands of guests up and down the country.
Now under the firm guidance of his son and daughter, Robin and Zoe, the park has continued to grow its reputation and visitor base, as was recognised by achieving the Hoseasons award for the Best Holiday Park in the country.
