23: Penalties

You could also call this:

“There are no more special punishments for breaking freedom camping rules”

This part of the law about penalties for freedom camping offences has been removed. It no longer applies. The government took it out of the law on 7 June 2023. This means there are no longer any specific penalties listed in this section of the Freedom Camping Act 2011.
