Shitty behaviour comes from a minority of people from all 'groups' unfortunately. There have always been knobs disturbing others on campsites and the increase in people wanting to get into the countryside after lock down highlighted this. They are just taking behaviour that has been accepted in towns and cities, into the countryside. Why are we not bothered about them behaving like this elsewhere - Benidorm for example? Creating 'them and us' divisions will just make it worse - look at political changes here and the US over the last few years. The answer is to be inclusive and educate, not form a wagon circle and blame others. Just my tuppence worth.
Unless it's Open Access land (or most of Scotland). There's a lot to be said for exercising a right to roam wherever possible, in a responsible way of course.
Ahhh mate, humblest respect, and than you for speaking your mind on this by the way, id rather provoke healthy debate than start wars.
I wasn't trying to be divisional.... just taking the piss a little. Little bit of satire. But there is an 'us and them' thing going on unfortunately, us, who respect nature and abide by the unwritten bylaws of the camping world, and them, see below pictures. But I stand by what I (and many others) witnessed during that first lockdown easing was nothing short of f***ing despicable. And it all links back to the new breed and the undereducated I'm afraid - can't go abroad now with Brexit confusing everyone and covid - so everyone now wants to buy a camper / tent/ crate of beer and really don't understand what camping is - I went to a beautiful site in Hereford I've been escaping to for about 30 years - absolutely overrun by the Jezza crowd..., and lets say it as it is.... disposable barbecues thrown into streams and hedges, burned grass, beer cans, even a dirty nappy left on the grass when they got evicted.
Myself and about 8 other camper owners spent sunday 8am till about 3pm helping the owner, who was in floods of tears, clean up the site.
Look at these images from the "covid campers" - And I fully stand behind our Scottish friends, who's borders were turned into what I can only describe as a landfill site, buy a load of mouth breathing degenerates.

These are people who haven't got a clue and no respect for the natural world - and this is why, THANK GOD wild camping, or rather trespassing, is illegal and long may it continue.
