  • Dog-friendly site near Spalding and 20 minutes' drive from Wisbech
  • Outdoor playground; big screens showing major live sports
  • Heated pool and large patio
Hurrah, The Rose and Crown in Holbeach Hurn, near Spalding, is stunning pub site with a village bar surrounded by the Lincolnshire Fens. Families, groups, solo travellers, bikers and dogs are all welcome at this friendly Lincolnshire site. And as the Rose and Crown is one of the last independent breweries in the region, you'll be fairly certain of getting a decent pint too… The pub has all sorts of touches you'll likely like to see in an inn: there's a main lounge and a beer garden with covered seating along with more modern updates like big screens showing Sky and BT Sports. There is also a heated outdoor pool and an outdoor kids' playground. The Rose and Crown is run by Dougie, who wants his guests to have as enjoyable a stay as possible: he's always working on upgrades to the pub and campsite so there's often something new to discover on a stay here… Wifi can be picked up in the pub only (not across the entire campsite), but it can be a bit poor/slow at times because of the rural setting. A supermarket is five minutes' drive away for supplies.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch (no awning)

Liked: Easy access and friendly flexiable staff. Level pitches and east reach electric. Great facilities including swimming pool. Facilities were all very clean

Disliked: Work was ongoing on site and wasn’t aware when booked the pitch. It was no issue but didn’t think the pitch was worth full price with the work ongoing.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely pitches , very peaceful. The showers were nice and hot , we did pay £1 for 5 minutes and I was happy to pay that for a nice shower and 5 minutes was plenty of time . The pool was amazing and the children loved it, it was very warm, The on-site pub has very friendly staff and the pool table was free to use. The toilet block seemed to be cleaned often and always has toilet roll available, All In all going by the price we paid I would definitely recommend this site and would consider returning,

Disliked: Can’t think of anything that effected our stay, maybe the games room wasn’t available when we stayed but I can’t say this made much of an impact as we had the play area and pool.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: This site was really good for families. very friendly. Our son made lots of friends. Kids were playing together all day and evening, which is exactly what we want from a holiday. The pool was really good. Park areas was great for all ages children. Facilities were kept clean through the stay. The bar area next to the pool was an added bonus for when the kids where playing in the pool

Disliked: Very crowded when we 1st arrived over the bank holiday weekend (which was expected) a large group behind our tent who had music blasting all day and night. Which we understand people want to have fun but was needed at such high level in the evening. Sure they had a full sound system up 🤣 Showers couldn’t set to an average temperate. It was either red hot or freezing. But quick shower wasn’t too bad to deal with.

Route directions

If you are following a satnav, it may well take you down Low Road; ignore this and carry on along Marsh Road, where you will see the Rose and Crown pub (bright yellow) on your right. Check in here, then drive for another 30 yards to reach the site entrance, again on the right. Please don't drive down Low Road as this is only a small lane which tourers and motorhomes find it hard to come down.

Local attractions

You'll find a fair bit to do within a reasonable drive of the Rose and Crown, like Wisbech and its Elgoods Brewery, gardens and maze 20 minutes away, and royal days out at Sandringham within 35. Both Hunstanton and Skegness are within about 45 minutes' drive. Closer to home are two golf courses and Spalding's Springfields Outlet Shopping & Festival Gardens, which also has a tourist point detailing local attractions. Spend a day around the Wash too for birdwatching at Frieston, Gibraltar Point and RSPB Snettingsham and a look at the RAF bombing range where visitors are welcome to watch the aircraft. Historians have the National Trust's Peckover House or the Octavia Hill Birth Place Museum, both in Wisbech, to wander around, and if you have kids along on your hol, they'll probably fancy wanders around Fun Farm, Alley Katz Bowling or the Butterfly Wildlife Park.
