In Brief

Nine locations on the North Yorkshire coast will restrict wild camping, fires and barbeques. Offenders face fines up to £1,000; clean-up costs in 2024 exceeded £30,000.

Wild camping, fires and barbeques will be restricted at nine locations on the North Yorkshire coast in response to concerns from local residents about litter, anti-social behaviour and environmental damage.

The Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) gives the council powers to evict offenders and issue fines. Penalties range from a £100 fixed penalty notice to a maximum £1,000 fine if prosecuted. Clean-up and repairs after unauthorised camping from May to October 2024 cost more than £30,000.
