  • 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 grass pitch

Liked: 3rd stay here in about 6 years. Both returning stays we can see the amount of effort they have put in to improve the campsite. 6 years back the outdoor swimming pool was un heated, now it’s heated and has a glass enclosure. This certainly keeps the wind out. We were pitched on a new hard standing pitch. Shower block/toilets very clean. There’s also a huge outdoor TV screen, which was showing football. Small park great for younger children. The hole campsite is well kept. Great food in the onsite pub. All staff really helpful and friendly.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Overall the site was lovely, food in the pub was nice and the pool and park were fab for the younger kids. We were pitched quite close to facilities and a nice large pitch for our big tent. Had a soul and Motown band and singer on and she was fantastic!

Disliked: The toilets could have been cleaner, which I know is difficult at times when busy.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Absolutely amazing hidden gem. Great pitches. Great location. Kids loved the swimming pool. Will highly recommend it and will be back again.

Disliked: We was on the bottom field, the power tripped a few times. Only had a fridge on as all my power is run from my solar panels. When I put kettle on it kept tripping unless I turned fridge off etc.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: The place is just what my children like, there is a pool with a cover on which can be opened up, there is a fun park with swings slides a zip line an upside down play house amongst other things. The food is always very yummy and the choice of drinks and cocktails is really good and good value for money too.

Disliked: Only downside was the flooring was coming up just inside the ladies toilet and I tripped over a couple of times

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: We really liked the pitch we had, we love the pool and the bar and the food is always well cooked, the staff are amazing especially Charlie from the kitchen

Disliked: Only thing we did not like is when people were pitching or parked blocking the gaps in the fences making it difficult to navigate to the toilets especially when it was dark

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.
