Why stay here ...

Riverside Touring Park is set within the heart of North Wales, in the laid back village of Betws-y-Coed. The village has remained popular with tourists with its range of shops, restaurants, pubs and variety of local tourist attractions. Betws-y-Coed has built on an outstanding international reputation as an attractive village in its own right and a perfect centre from which to explore the magnificent Snowdonia National Park with its many attractions. The caravan park remains in close proximity to the lakes, mountains and narrow gauge railway as well as other historic reminders of its heritage and colourful past. Please note that a railway line runs adjacent to the site.

Riverside Touring Park's unique appeal is its versatility. Those seeking relaxation - sportsmen, nature lovers, anglers, ramblers, artists, photographers and families - can all find activities of interest as the caravan site seeks to attract more visitors to its attractions.

Lovely peaceful site

Stayed here for 2 nights mid April. The site is really well laid out with spacious pitches and amenities spaced out across the park. 5 minute walk into Betws-y-Coed which is quickly accessed through the railway station. Dog walk is excellent along the river. I’ve given 4 stars for families because there are no play facilities for children. This didn’t bother us at all but worth knowing. Lovely quiet site. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent site in perfect location

We stayed for 3 nights this week and really enjoyed our stay. Our pitch was allocated and when we arrived the warden explained where things were etc. There are lovely views and hedges behind all the pitches. Social distancing was good on site with way in and way out for the bins. There are several water points/bins so it's not far to walk to one. The pitches are all large and pretty much level however on the fully serviced pitches the post for the electricity and water aren't in the best of positions once you have pitched your unit on the corner post. We just managed to plug in our water hose but it had to go diagonally underneath the caravan to do so. You might find you are unable to use the on-pitch water without an extra long/additional water hose. Waste (on our pitch - No 46) was in a good position though. We had no need for the digital TV point as reception was good on the caravan aerial. The site is in a perfect location just 5/10 minutes walk into town where there are a selection of restaurants, bars and cafes as well as a Londis and Spar and newsagents as well as several outdoor clothing stores and gift shops. Newspapers could be ordered from the site reception and collected after 8:30am which was really useful. Whilst there isn't a dog walk on site you only have to walk to the end of the site and through the gate to a lovely walk along the river. If you go to the left you get to the town by the train station and if you go right you can do a lovely 25ish minute circular walk along the river bank and around the 9 hole golf course - the path comes back to a gate next to reception. One point worth mentioning is that the railway line does go past the site and you do hear the trains going past during the day but they are only every few hours and it wasn't an issue for us and certainly hasn't caused me to give it less than 5* for peace and quiet. The site is easy to get to and well sign-posted. I've only given it 3* for families as there is no play area. There is a lovely walk directly from the town behind St Mary's Church which goes up to and around Llyn Elsi. It is a VERY strenuous climb for the first kilometre but well worth it when you get to the top and see the views. We didn't walk around the lake this time but no doubt will on our next visit. Such a shame they were having to close because of the lockdown in Conwy the day we were leaving but we will definitely be back next year.

Lovely site close to Betws-y-Coaed

We booked this site early in the year and were thankful that we were able to stay given the Covid situation. We had a warm welcome from the staff, our pitch was allocated and we had asked at the time of booking if our friends could have an adjoining pitch. This had been arranged, so full marks to the team, as this is not always possible or arranged on some sites. Lovely site surrounded by wooded hills, immaculately clean facilities, and just a 5 minute walk or so to get into town. Highly recommend Hangin' Pizza in the old station building. Absolutely delicious! We will visit this site again, as it is a great base to explore the heart of Snowdonia.

Pity we couldn’t stay longer

Stayed for one night in September - pity it wasn’t longer. All sensible COVID-19 procedures in place. All amenities and pitches very clean and well maintained. Have stayed here before and must put in on the ‘go back to sometime’ list.

Almost paradise.

Fantastic place, next to a river with great dog walks. Five minute walk to a beautiful village. Clean and well kept with friendly staff. Not suitable for families as no ball games etc. are allowed, although it didn’t stop anyone playing ball games. My only complaint is, when I asked for an extra night on the site, I was told the computers were down, so nothing could be checked or done. The man on the next pitch to me managed to book an extra night, still with the computers down, although he did seem to be on first name terms with the warden. I will be back though.
