What should we wear?

Dress for the outdoors, with comfortable clothes, sturdy footwear and an extra layer. A waterproof is handy for changeable weather, and clothes you don’t mind getting muddy are ideal for little explorers. Check your chosen activity’s requirements before arriving.

What happens if it rains?

Bring a waterproof and prepare for a little Welsh weather. Camp Smokey has some covered areas but is open-sided, so an extra layer is recommended. Activity arrangements may change in unsuitable weather; check with the team for the latest information.

Do we need to book?

Book ahead for organised activities and Smokey Joe’s Shindig. Check availability, prices and participation requirements for your stay before booking. For Camp Smokey dining, please check the current opening times and booking arrangements.
