Tourist reviews top-rated holiday park in Cornwall

The article covers key aspects of car camping. Booking a campsite is straightforward, but wild camping with a motor vehicle in the UK is restricted: Dartmoor allows only non-motorised options, and Scotland requires pre-approved sites. Three main types are described: sleeping inside the car, using rooftop tents, and pitching a regular tent next to the vehicle. Practical gear recommendations include a sleeping bag, torch, power bank, and V2L technology for electric cars. Legal warnings about alcohol consumption while in the car are also provided.

The UK government is considering an overnight visitor levy that could effectively tax caravan and tent holidays at up to 100%. Resort operators Butlins and Haven warn that a flat £2 per person per night charge would disproportionately affect low-cost breaks, increasing some by 66% or more. While a £1,000-a-night five-star hotel stay would incur a 1% tax, a family of five on a £10-a-night pitch could face a levy equal to the full cost of their accommodation.

Around 15 caravans occupied King George's Field at Oatlands Road Recreation Ground in Osney, Oxford. Thames Valley Police arrived on Monday afternoon; Oxford City Council is working with authorities to issue notices.

A former caravan and campervan dealership on a 1.3-acre plot in Lichfield, UK, may revert to its original use as a petrol station.

Plans include a 3,300 sq ft forecourt shop, four pump islands, two jet-wash bays, and a 2,150 sq ft vehicle workshop.
