  • 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.

What customers say

This is a very family-friendly campsite with excellent facilities, particularly the heated swimming pool and play areas, which are a big hit with children. Staff are frequently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. While many visitors find the site offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere, some mention that facilities could benefit from updates and occasional cleanliness issues. Noise from other campers and the pub can be an issue for some.

Liked We liked the pub best. A good choice of food from which I had a smashing ploughman's lunch. Loved the disco music at night.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Good location, playground although it is very tired.

Disliked Very noisy campsite with lots of drunk people staggering around in the night. Also people setting up camp at 2 in the morning while drunk. Didn’t sleep well at all. Electrics not great with some pitches unable to reach electrics despite paying. Lots of inconsiderate guests playing ball games around the pitches and smacking peoples caravans, tents and gazebos. Only a few toilets and showers for whole site. More like a party campsite.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The pool.

Disliked It looked very run down and falling apart, the games room could do with an upgrade.
In the pub using the facilities we felt very unwelcomed, we felt stared at.
The area we stayed looked like a tip or a dumping ground for hoarders.

Liked Love this campsite, it has everything you need and the staff are great. Mark is brilliant and always there to lend a hand. We were close to the play area and pool, showers and toilets. Perfect stay for us, it was our second stay here and definitely will return. Showers brilliant, the campsite is great. We all had a really good time here again. Loved the pool, we went in everyday. It’s lovely and even better because it is heated. Will be back for sure again. Can’t fault the place.

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.
