Camping warning: Campsite law could see Britons facing jail time - but not in Scotland
With UK holiday rentals and caravan spots rapidly selling out, many Britons may be considering embarking on their first traditional camping holiday. Before heading off, experts are warning holidaymakers camping in England should make sure they have secured an official pitch.
