Once, but never again
Rarely have we been on such an uninviting campsite. No atmosphere at all. And what a ridiculously high price. There is only one sanitary building and that is really too little.

Short Stay
We had a quick 3 night stay at this site we had previously visited in the Summer ,we find it to be a beautiful place to visit so much to see just a short drive takes you to many places the weather will not hold you back .The facilities are all in working order and the staff are very helpful we will visit again soon. It makes the 6 hour journey worth it.
NEED-TO-KNOW STUFF
Be aware of the smell and noise from the sewage treatment plant adjacent to the west side of this site along with the proximity of the main railway line in this same area.
Also, whilst making a charge for dogs, apart from the off-site dog walk, there are no other facilities for dogs on site, such as a dog shower, which would be welcome after a trek in the woods.
There is only one (very nice) amenity block at reception making it a bit of a challenge to reach from the far end of the site, especially for those of reduced mobility.
However, all that said, the site is well laid out and offers excellent access to the locality of Betws-Y-Coed and the surrounding, stunning, area.

Excellent Holiday in North Wales
We have just returned from Riverside Touring Park, Betws y Coed, where we had a great two weeks.
The site is excellent & this is our third visit in four years.
We only marked the Peace & Quiet down slightly because of noise from the Golf Club which behind a very large hedge & directly behind our pitch.
We couldn't see the Golf Club because of the very high conifer hedging between us but could hear members teeing off early most mornings within a few feet of us. One Saturday evening there was a private function going on & revellers were extremely noisy around 1 - 2 am.
Other than that the site was excellent.
We certainly will be back.
Helpful Staff
We have just returned from our 3rd visit to this lovely site. Unfortunately we had an ongoing problem with our ‘new’ car battery. Assistant Manager Phil was brilliant - he provided a battery charger and lead which enabled us to charge our totally flat battery and get home. Many thanks - we look forward to seeing you all again on our next visit.
Disappointing visit
Visited here before which was first class.
Visited several weeks ago.
We were on the top end of super pitches , long way to toilets.
The negatives are the smell from sewage works, golf course staff cutting grass starting 5.30 , a group of caravans all with dogs who refused to use leads or dog walk. Would like to pitch after them , no consideration to others or site rules.
They had been warned about the dogs roaming twice , no difference , I complained about them partying until early hours in morning and again dogs roaming about from mid afternoon when party started until early hours.
Staff on site did speak to them , but made no difference, it’s a pity as it spoils a good site.

Excellent site
This is the second Morris site we have used and we were very impressed with the site; its layout and facilities are superb, and we plan to use more of their sites. This particular site is right in the centre of the village, but with the entrance down a no through road, very quiet. No obvious facilities for children (such as playground), so may not be attractive for families.

Great little site
Just returned from site I must say it’s a little gem clean and well presented with excellent staff on the front desk. I would recommend not trying your luck a booking in early it a tight 300 yds from the road to the site gates is a little narrow if you manage to catch a late leaver. The village is only a short walk back up the lane through the railway station over the footbridge which by is straight in the the heart of the civilisation with a number of shops and fast food outlets we used the pizza and fish&chip takeaway it’s just about right to walk back and eat in your now establishment, another recommendation is the Sunday lunch at the oak hotel £18.50 for two courses(wife said best dinner she had for years) we booked it, it gets a little busy in the area on the weekend. The train station is a live station with a train around every 2 hours running to Llandudno £6.80 return worth a day out for a change of scenery and shopping. The Only downside with the area is the general food shop we a used it setting up a doing a big shop Asda,Tesco that sort of thing but most are 20 miles away in Bangor or Llandudno and the village shops do ramp the price up a little.
Nice Site, Great Location!
Had 3 nights here during the good weather in March. The touring site is co-located with a large static caravan site. The wardens were pleasant and helpful, and the toilets and showers were clean, warm and in line with other Morris Leisure sites. Regarding the facilities, they are right near the entrance of the site which is fine if you at that end, however if you are right at the far end of the site, its a good 5m walk to the facilities (not ideal if the urge takes you!) The location to Betws Y Coed is great, on exiting the site and crossing the Railway bridge you are right in the town, where there are a number of bars and restaurants that are pleasant and welcoming. We used the All Trails App and did a 10km walk to Swallow Falls and the 'Ugly House' Cafe, and also a 12Km walk to Capel Garmon and back.
Beautiful location
Stayed here amidst Storm Franklin and still enjoyed it. Very scenic location with hills as backdrop. Staff very helpful and friendly. Toilet/shower and laundry facilities spacious and clean. Betws-y-Coed is very quaint, ate at the fab Tapas bar, Olif - don’t miss this restaurant - food excellent and service fab! Would recommend Riverside, enjoyed stay despite the storm 😀
