Smuggler's Cove

Accessible by following signs toward Yakutania Point, this established campground provides a fire pit and picnic table for tent camping. The site sits quieter than nearby Yakutania Point, with trashcans and facilities positioned along the access route. One reviewer notes the location works well for trail running and bush whacking opportunities exist across the cove via goat trails. Bears may be present during peak season, requiring standard food storage precautions for overnight stays.

Great afternoon

Start like you're heading to Yakutania Point, and follow the signs for Smugg's. You'll pass trashcans and facilities along the way. At Smugg's, you'll find a picnic table and fire pit. It's much quieter than the Point and better for tent camping. Also great for trail running. I love this spot! Great afternoon hike that can turn into an overnight stay. Pet friendly too! I went bush whacking on the other side of the cove and found some cool spots up the goat trail. But watch out for bears if you’re out in peak season.
