If in a motorhome or campervan , park off the public highway preferably an accredited camp site
Just to prevent people falling inadvertently foul of the law and getting a conviction, I feel I must say: parking at an accredited camp site in many/most cases does not protect you as just like supermarket car parks (which are not public land), most are considered a "public place", note the wording isn't "public land". You can be convicted in a supermarket car park, same in a camp site. However not on private land. Farmers field, your garden, possibly driveway etc...which are not public places. The driveway is a tricky one because of something called an "implied right of access". So if you had a gate, no problem, if you don't, then they would try to convict you.
Please be careful as you may be in a motorhome, on a campsite, have a few beers, be tucked up in bed and be convicted!!
