Just had four nights at this site including Christmas Day. It is part of the Morris Leisure group and affiliated to the Caravan & Motorhome Club. A nice quiet site less than a five minute walk from the village of Betws-y-Coed. The site facilities are good and spotlessly clean. We had a fully serviced pitch. Betws-y-Coed is very tourist based with a lot of bars, restaurants and outdoor wear shops. That said it is still pleasant.

A lot of walking and cycling can be had from the site with no need to start the engine. The train station lies in between the site and the village. This allows you to explore the surrounding area again without a vehicle.

I can recommend this site and we shall return in the summer.
 
Yes been their myself and cannot recommended the site and area enough.
 
Cold, wet, damp, exhausting, exhilarating, exciting, beautiful, cold wet and damp. Thems the army training days there.

Must go back, as not been for a few years now and thanks for the prompt 😀👍🏻

I thought I was booking this site on the Morris website last year, ended up booking Llanberis, god knows how that happened but Llanberis was a great clean site also with good views👍 I think Morris Leisure run great clean sites, but you do pay for them but they’re not the dearest by any means. Thanks for your review, will do betswy at some point👍
 
For us Betws-y-coed is quite local as well as being a excellent centre to enjoy, lots of walks to find, all the shop's are individual from the renowned Anna Davies to lovley quality gift shops a very good fish and chip shop and bakery, lots to keep you occupied. Then of course you are on the edge of Snowdonia it's self . The area is well worth a trip.

£35 a night, most on here think that’s to much for week. Haha

At the same it good information for those who are happy to pay for a winter break with electric.
In the area when you know there's other ways it can be done a lot cheaper but probably not so relaxing.
 
Great place if you can find it through the drizzle and mist :rolleyes: . Stopped regular when they let you use the car park overnight. £35 a night maybe includes breakfast. Just compared it with a Haven site i have booked for 3 nights end of April , both euro/super pitches with services on pitch, Haven £52.02-- Morris leisure £123.80.

May I ask which haven site please ?
 
Stayed there a few years ago. Terrific site. The Good Woman was on a chainsaw training course so she did that I went cycling all day.

No no no no! Don't go there!

Betws is an industrial, polluted scene like something out of Dante's inferno. And the sights? Nothing to see here. Bleak, cold, gale force, blizzard winds. The Afon Llugwy floods every morning and washes your moho down stream - I've lost three already. And then there are the wolves... and the locusts. Not mention the tornados and earthquakes.

You won't enjoy it. Best to go somewhere else.
 
I like the Morris leisure sites as well. Do they still do the loyalty card? Still got mine with about 5 stamps on it.
Oozzie

Only downside to the Morris Leisure site apart from cost was the noise from the trains passing right next to the pitch.

We will return one day because we loved Betws-y-coed and surrounding area.

Downside? Having a mighty Welsh Highland Railway NGG16 passing by the pitch during the day would be a massive positive for me. Note to others, the trains on the Welsh Highland don’t run through the night.
 
Thanks for the heads up - no doubt a few thousand other Funsters are thinking the same thing . . . x:-)
 
We are going to Betws at Easter, but only because we like looking around the nuclear reactor and steel mills...

I'm obviously kidding ::bigsmile: ::bigsmile: ::bigsmile:
I've been going to that part of the world for forty years now and know it well. Betws - y- coed is a little heaven of a place, with eateries, shops and the hotel bars are really homely. The campsite is quiet, scrupulously clean and well looked after. £35 a night isn't a lot if you get a lot, and the area is just wonderful. A few miles up the road, you find mountains, waterfalls, rivers and quiet walking tracks (if you go off the beaten track!)

We went to the Morris' site at Llanberris last year and I can honestly say that it is the only time since the pandemic started that I never felt there was a pandemic. It was organised in such an unobtrusive way unlike club sites with tape blocking you everywhere. Three days of heaven (y)
 
Also it's right next to a nice little 9 hole golf course - during summer 2 tees for each hole to do the 18, good little clubhouse as well.
 
Sounds nice but the price per night? Caz said “can we go” I told her it was fully booked up, she said “ How long for”
“15 years” was my reply

Haven site beginning of last September for my birthday just over £9 a night, swimming pool, a minute walk from the clifftop, stunning walks and views.
 
Don’t expect to go for a weekend mind. They are only accepting bookings for a week or more for next year.
