  • 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

Great for families! Popular heated pool & playground. Staff's a legend (shout out to Mark!). Decent pub grub. Most pitches are fair dinkum. A few reckon the loos need a spruce up, and it can get a bit rowdy & packed, esp. at the pool. Good value for your buck though, especially for the mob.

Liked Our little girl loved the play area. Site was clean and tidy and owner was lovely. Placed us close to the play area so we could see our daughter from our pitch. Food in the pub looked really nice. Swimming pool looked fun and kids loved it.

Disliked Music went on abit late (11.30pm) but it was a Sunday on a bank holiday weekend. You have to pay for the showers. Didn't realise until 10pm and didn't have any change on me.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the wonderful 10/10 review! We are so glad we could pitch you close to the play area so you could relax while keeping an eye on your daughter. Bank holiday weekends are always a bit livelier and we often have live music, and we appreciate your understanding with the evening atmosphere. We do offer cash back at the bar for anyone who does not have cash or change for the showers. We do notify guests of the charge for the shower within our Pitchup details. We can't wait to welcome your family back for another visit soon!

Horrific!

Liked Absolutely nothing bar Mark who tried his best to manage a horrific site with bad management

Disliked Absolutely everything. Arrived to an overcrowded site, tents and vans within a meter of each other. We booked hard standing with awning and on arrival was told they didn’t have any hard standing and only grass. No health and safety taken into account. Douglas the owner was dismissive and rude.
The park was run down and over grown.
Pool looked and smelt foul.
Toilet block looked just as bad, didn’t venture in though so may have been a surprise.
If I was to film an apocalyptic film this would be my first choice as a set, nothing needed.
We spend 2 hours on site before finding another site 3 minutes away which was peaceful with fishing and a bar on site.
Wouldn’t take kids either, walked into the bar to 3 blokes on the pool table dropping the c word like it was nothing in front of young kids.
Honestly a horrific 2 hours and so so grateful to the other local site that allowed us on at 7.30pm.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you acknowledging Mark’s hard work; our team always does their absolute best to manage the site during busy holiday periods. However, we must respectfully disagree with this characterisation of our park, management, and facilities.You arrived during an exceptionally busy bank holiday weekend. While we always strive to honor specific booking preferences, pitch layouts and allocations can occasionally vary due to safety, spacing requirements, or local ground conditions. On this occasion, we offered your party an alternative grass pitch to get you settled comfortably. Our site adheres strictly to standard holiday park regulations, and our team worked incredibly hard to ensure all pitches were safely and properly spaced.We completely reject the extreme descriptions of our family park, swimming pool, and facilities. Our grounds are consistently maintained, and our amenities are regularly cleaned, inspected, and enjoyed by hundreds of families every season. Furthermore, we maintain a strictly family-friendly environment across our entire site, including our bar area.As you were only on-site for two hours, we are sorry we were unable to find a pitch variation that satisfied your personal preferences before you chose to leave. While we take all constructive feedback on board, we stand firmly behind our management team and our staff's dedication to our guests. We are glad you found alternative accommodations that suited your needs and wish you the best in your future travels.

Liked Level pitch. Easy water top up. Friendly owner.

Disliked Mucky underfoot. Local children taking over the swimming pool after school.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your lovely comments about our level pitches, easy water topups, and your interaction with us.

We are pleased to see you selected the option to visit us again, and we would love to welcome you back!

As your stay was during January, the winter elements unfortunately mean the grass can get a bit mucky underfoot, though as you noted, the ground dries out beautifully for the summer season.

Regarding the swimming pool, we want to ensure our local community and families can enjoy the facilities alongside our touring guests. However, we do monitor pool capacity closely and will keep your feedback in mind to ensure a relaxing balance for everyone during after-school hours.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we look forward to your next visit when the weather is warmer!

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.
