LeaseLoco.com warns that wild camping in vehicles without landowner permission is illegal in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Offenders face fines up to £2,500 or three months in prison. Scotland has more relaxed rules but they do not automatically apply to motor vehicles. New restrictions are being introduced in tourist hotspots like Snowdonia, Scarborough, and Southend-on-Sea.
