The morning mist lifts slow off the valley grass, and you're up with the woodsmoke and the first light filtering through your tent fly.
Spring Valley suits tenters and campervans after something quieter than the big holiday parks — the kind of place where you check in, find your pitch, and settle into the rhythm of canvas and kettle. Dogs are welcome if you ask ahead, so this works for walkers with a Border terrier in tow or couples wanting to drop the tent pegs without the kids for a weekend. The facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth ringing before you pack — this isn't a five-star shower block operation, more the sort of spot that trades polish for peace.
Campfires depend on conditions when you arrive, so bring a stove as backup but hope for an evening round the flames. It's low-key, unpretentious, the kind of site where you remember why you started camping in the first place. Pack for self-sufficiency and you won't be disappointed.
