Smugglers Cove Boatyard

Positiv What a view to wake up to! Having discovered smugglers cove boatyard camping several years ago, we have returned as a large family for several years, hiring the 3 camping pitches for our own little private getaway. Love it here.

Negativ Having to come home

Positiv The most beautiful view of a morning such a peaceful place.

Really quirky on the boat which we loved found some beautiful beaches.

Negativ Nothing

Positiv The views and the facilities. The strong mobile network was a welcomed surprise. Staff was also friendly. Bring your binoculars

Negativ Not much the guys in the next tent was way to chatty but that's not the campsites fault.

Positiv The stunning views across the estuary from the tent pitches, watching herons and little egrets fish, the nightly campfire, the clean and hot showers, the friendly hosts (thanks Sophie!) and how well organised and up together everything was. As our neighbour said 'It's a little piece of paradise' and anybody would be lucky to camp there.

Negativ Nothing

Positiv Lovely campsite in a stunning location. Clean and tidy toilets/bathroom. The pitch was beautiful and overall a great experience, we would definitely go back 😊

Negativ It was a shame we had to cut it short due to predicted high winds overnight, we were a bit worried about the trees overhanging the pitch so definitely check the weather forcast before you go. Pitch was a fair walk away from the carpark and toilets, this was clearly advertised but definitely something to think properly about when you need to do 4/5 trips to carry all your stuff or go to the loo late at night. The shower was a bit ropey, either freezing cold or scolding hot and had to keep pressing the button for the water 20 seconds or so at a time. To be fair there was a sign with a mobile number to call to adjust the temperature but not ideal if you forget to take your phone to the bathroom or have wet hands 😳

Positiv We loved pretty much everything about this place. The atmosphere: quet place, boat as the living space that even had a log burner, the tides, convenient place to reach other landmarks like pistyll rhaeadr waterfall. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The kids absolutely loved this place, as the river (that has about 2.5m high tides) was literally 10 meters from our doorstep.

Positiv Great views. Superb location . Great facilities... Sophie was very nice helpful. Very quiet place... we had last pitch so was very private

Positiv So cute and the views were amazing. Never camped so close to the sea and it was private with hedges between the camping spaces. We stayed at Angell which was the spot right on the end. Took our young puppy and she loved it too. Walk to the left up the beach and we saw a heron and so many jellyfish, birds & crabs. Also a really cute swing overlooking the water.

Negativ Only thing was the ground was a bit stoney so we did struggle getting some of our pegs in. But what are a few bent pegs for a view like that!!

Positiv Totally amazing location and very helpful friendly people. The pitches have privacy and spectacular views. Please read details of location of the site - having to carry equipment from the car etc they are very honest and helpful- having said that I managed fine with just my daughter and grandchildren. Pictures added to give a genuine feel for them pitch.

Positiv Amazing site, beautiful scenery, secluded, unique, quiet, friendly staff, wild swimming
