Our First Sleepover! Aberafon Campsite, Caernarfon

17 – 19 July 2020

A lovely campsite next to a stoney beach with stunning sunsets! The approach is a little tense and the lane into the site is both narrow and winding. Luckily no one came the other way or else there would have been issues.

The site owners were friendly and helpful, not that we had any problems. Our visit was shortly after the campsites in Wales had started opening so we were there to be self contained and enjoy a different view. The facilities were closed so we can’t comment on them.

On this day the last of our brood left primary school. Well his last day in school was in March but they managed to do a little walk through of the grounds to wave a goodbye to their teachers and fellow class mates. It was straight in the motorhome to travel to Caernarfon so when we got to site we presented a graduation certificate, card and gift to try to mark the occasion especially being in extraordinary times. It wasn’t quite a prom but we at least have more memories.

We headed for the beach and had a little wander to meet lots of cute dogs and say a distance hello to other campers.

This site offers beautiful scenery and we were more than happy to just sit outdoors and soak up the view after months of being in lockdown. We got creative with dinner and rustled up some of our old camping favourites.

Incase you haven’t made these before:

Ingredients:

Hotdogs (or veggie hotdogs in my case!)
Cheese in small strips (mozzarella works really well)
Puff Pastry
Skewers
egg (for brushing)

Simply put a skewer through the hotdog and cut in a spiral effect from top to bottom. Slot the cheese in the cuts. Wrap the party around the hotdog in a spiral. Brush with the egg.

If yo have an oven cook them until they are golden or if you’re using a BBQ, seal them in foil and cook on the BBQ until the pastry is cooked.

They’re very filling!

After our feast we sat and watched the sun set over the sea.
