Nestled on the edge of Snowdonia National Park in Wales, Smugglers Cove offers a unique camping experience that allows visitors to escape everyday life. This picturesque campsite, situated by the Dyfi estuary, provides views and a serene environment.
The campsite features three pitches along the river’s edge, each offering vistas across the water to the nearby Ynys-hir bird reserve, positioned on raised slate plateaus and separated by shrubs and trees for privacy. Each pitch comes equipped with individual fire pits for outdoor cooking and evening gatherings.
For those seeking an unconventional stay, Smugglers Cove offers the opportunity to “glamp” inside two renovated, dry-docked boats. Once seaworthy vessels, the Boy John and Hannah have been converted into cozy accommodations right at the water’s edge.
Next to it, Hannah, converted in 2021, is a wooden boat perfect for those wanting a waterside retreat without leaving solid ground. These unique boats provide a memorable glamping experience by the shore.
The Cottages also features a self-catering holiday experience, ideal for large groups and gatherings. Accommodating up to 14 guests, with the option of extending to 16 using sofa beds, this complex provides a setting for family reunions, celebrations, or special occasions.
The property offers two adjacent buildings: Chapel House, boasting five bedrooms, and Quarry Cottage, with two bedrooms.
In an article published by Mirror, the camping season runs from March to November, with varying availability throughout the year. September offers plenty of booking options, while October slots are more limited.
The campsite’s location also offers visitors easy access to Snowdonia’s rugged mountain scenery, diverse wildlife, and numerous outdoor activities.
