You may well ask . Of course virtually all of us support local businesses when we are travelling and , as pointed out already , spend more when not on campsites .I have just checked through my sales invoice for my Motorhome, (which includes £12,000 in vat), my Motorhome owners manual, my insurance documents, and my V7, and my road tax confirmation. But to date I am unable to find any clause which states I have to support anyone.
Also does this support for local businesses also apply to day trippers who arrive in much greater numbers, or only those of us who have already paid all of the above, some of which should be supporting local communities. Also are we guaranteed places at short notice within these campsites 24/7 12 months of the year.
Finally if I only went to campsites, why did I buy a Motorhome in the first place.

Can't work out how it is more environmentally friendly to stay on a campsite rather than a layby
The sign does not say "Illegal", it says "unlawful".Camping without the landowner's permission is indeed illegal in England and Wales.
Struggling to understand what you are saying regarding the legality of stopping in a lay by .The sign does not say "Illegal", it says "unlawful".
In England and Wales there is a significant difference between the two terms.
"Unlawful" is "committing an act prescribed by" or "failure to act in compliance with a mandated requirement" that is specified in statute and is geographically and temporally applicable to the act or omission.
"Ilegal" is a big bird that is not very well.
What confuses me in all of this is who actually owns the roads and laybys? The sign says "Camping without the permission of the landowner is unlawful in Wales"
Most of Snowdonia is owned by farmers or the National Trust/National Parks Authority, but are the roads and laybys? I can fully understand not being allowed to park on farm/NT/NPA land but if the roads are public then they are public.
If the roads and laybys are also owned by these people, I fear we haven't a leg to stand on. Similarly with private car parks.
