I found the perfect little park for for over night stealth camping only to have my morning interrupted by an angry local that did not want me there.

To be fair. That wasn't the best place to park a van overnight. I though that stealth camping was about being discreet and stopping out of the way. Not right in front of the locals faces, on their beach!

@gmaelder4739 3 месяца назад

We camped a lot when I was growing up. Mom and Dad always made us walk the area and pickup any trash we found. When we asked why they always said the same thing “You should always leave a place better than when you came”. Thanks for being such a good example.

No overnight camping. Doesn’t say unless you pick up a bag of rubbish. I can’t see why you would want to park somewhere that is going to upset people living there. Perhaps this is why more and more signs are going up. I don’t feel the locals need to justify why you can’t stay overnight.

The guy with the dogs lives just up the road, has lived in West Cornwall for well over 20 years and puts far more into any community than anyone else i know.

If there are no camping signs on show then it's no wonder that any locals would have a go at you and it wouldn't matter how nice you are. To say that the locals are missing a trick by not charging campers to stay on the beach is missing the point of why people live in a place like that.

@RupertReynolds1962 2 месяца назад

Many years ago there were very few regulations and laws. The regulations only turn up to limit bad behaviour. There is no way to explain my attitude in full, but briefly Human nature fits better with the carrot than the stick. Reward good behaviour. People who "leave no trace" (or better, leave it better than when they arrived), morally speaking, are part of the solution, not part of the problem. But the letter of the law too often takes precedence of the spirit of it. Regulations and laws are bad at telling the difference, up until you get before a judge and jury, which is too expensive to be practical.

They shouldn't charge people to stay overnight there because those type of situations ruin the landscape. I grew up and I'm from Seattle Washington, and the increase of urban campers has destroyed our local beaches, it's polluted our waterways, and now a glacial lake that I grew up next to called bitter lake is completely and usable because of the camping that has taken place. The campers urinated and defecated into the lake, which is small, and it caused a whole bunch of algae bloom and that has killed off all the local fish, the entire West portion of the park has been partitioned and fenced off permanently until they go through a complete bio overhaul which includes soil removal, soil replacement, replacement of native plants that were destroyed, replacement of anti-erosion landscaping, it's just a huge mess. And it's costing millions.

I'm Cornish, campers bring in good money for pubs and local shops. perhaps more than holiday home owners. They buy food and provisions, meals, gas and diesel locally as a rule. I'm sure a lot more campers would use the numerous 10.00 overnight pitches if they knew where there were in the first place. Where I live we turn a blind eye because there have never been too many in the same spots at the same time. Maybe it's just the Doggers objecting 🤣

The roads they travel on, the A&E departments they use, the paths on the mountains that are maintained - they all cost money. Meanwhile local campsites are losing trade.

@@christinedunn5709 What you need to understand is that anyone can put up a sign saying whatever they want (within reason), but it’s the law that determines whether something is lawful or not. In my experience, most people are ignorant of the law and operate upon assumptions.

I spent years in the military, and did all sorts of specialist security work afterwards. In all that time I never approached anyone with an attitude like that bloke did.

Yep I dont bother with either Devon or Cornwall on the basis of a minority of the locals who just have some pathologically hatred for those of us who have campervans. My view has always been to leave no trace, and buy locally while I am there - thus not only enjoying their community, but putting money in their economy from a passing tourist, and then leaving the place as I found it. Its the people that dont do any of this that spoil it for the rest of us.

It was good to witness that he climbed down and responded to you with a lot more respect during your conversation with him 👍. Who needs confrontation after these past few years in the world eh 😕. Think the villagers/owners have a bit of a dichotomy. On one hand they'd like cash donations for the 'upkeep' (therefore welcoming daytime parking?) but for some reason they view some of these same people who have donated to park as unwelcome, messy louts after dusk - all because they own a van (not a car) & have slept in it for a few hours. It's ludicrous. Cars often bring a multitude of different types of visitor to these places - some leaving rubbish and some being loud and unsociable - just because they don't stay the night in a van doesn't make them a 'better customer'.....but they'll take their 'donations' thank you very much & not direct them to leave 🤷 Wonder if things will change for the better over the coming years for people out and about in their vans 🤞🏼

Hello from Canada! We have the same issues here with people who misuse the free overnight spots and as a result paint all of us with the same brush. Walmart is one example. We used to be able to travel, stay overnight at a Walmart, purchase a few items and move on. Now, in Canada, most Walmarts do not allow overnighters because of the 'users' (and by that I mean people who think the world owes them a free ride, and they don't have to do anything aside from existing to deserve it!) who move in to the local Walmart and set up permanently, making a mess and an eyesore for the tax paying locals. It has made traveling in Canada a little more difficult for those of us who do obey the rules and don't take without giving back. When we are down south in the US, Walmarts that allow overnighters are much more plentiful, which we greatly appreciate. The whole spending the night inside your vehicle and not creating a mess or a disturbance should be a no-brainer. But there are enough 'users' who have made it an issue that signs are posted and security hired to control it. It's a sad situation all over the world. Enough of my rant! I loved your video and am a new subscriber! One day, I hope to do a trip over the pond and rent a caravan to do some road trips in the UK! Take care!-Sue

One thing that struck me is what he said “you never know who is in the van”, why disturb whoever is in the van? You handled the situation well and rose above his swearing and eventually talked him down so that he wasn’t confrontational and moderated his language. Hope he picked up after his dogs as if not that makes him as bad as the stereotypical camper he is so worried about.
