A family-run caravan park in Devon is in with a chance of scooping a prize at what has become known as the area’s tourism Oscars.
Ladram Bay Holiday Park in Otterton is run by the Carter family and has been shortlisted for the South West Tourism Excellence Awards, the Exmouth Journal reported.
Founded on a former farm seven decades ago, the family has grown the site from a small camping facility to a large holiday park, where guests can rent a luxury caravan, bring their own or sleep in a tent.
It is already highly decorated with the Green Tourism Business Scheme and Jurassic Coast Quality Business Scheme both having bestowed honours on the site in the past.
“Ladram Bay was one of just five finalists to make it through to the last stages of judging, beating hundreds of other parks in the south-west,” said general manager Claire Williams.
She added that the park has enjoyed a “bumper year” in terms of visitor numbers.
Guests can enjoy the use of the swimming pool, entertainment centre and private beach, while the site also has its own restaurant and kids’ activities.
Ladram Bay will be up against Woodovis Park, which is also shortlisted in the awards.
