Sewell Group Craven Park

If you're staying at Spring Valley or Burton Constable and fancy catching some live sport, Craven Park in Hull is your nearest option. It's home to Hull Kingston Rovers, the rugby league club, and match days here have a proper grassroots feel - nothing like the corporate sprawl of bigger stadiums. The ground itself is functional rather than fancy, but that's part of the charm.

The experience depends entirely on whether there's a match on. Kick-off days bring real atmosphere, especially for local derbies against Hull FC. If you've got teenagers who follow rugby league, they'll find it engaging. Younger kids might get restless unless they're already into the sport. Outside match days, there's not much to see beyond a stadium tour if one's available, so plan accordingly.

It's a 3-4 mile hop from Spring Valley Campsite, making it easy to pop into Hull for an evening fixture if the fixture list aligns with your holiday dates. The location works well if you're using the holiday parks as your base and want to mix some sport with the broader appeal of nearby attractions - Burton Constable's arboretum is worth a morning before heading to a match.

Check the rugby league season and Hull KR's fixture list before booking to make sure there's something on during your stay. It's worth the trip if there is, but don't expect it as a standalone day out.
