I have bothered to read the link
@2cv kindly posted up.
Below is the relevant extract (I think) which applies.
Perhaps 'temporary accommodation' is the only possible bit which may (or may not?) apply as a 'get out'.
The only other thing I can think of is booking onto an official campsite for the duration before entering the country, but whether the site owners would take you in as a quarantined visitor I haven't a clue.
I still think the safest thing is to head to a bricks and mortar home. It may be that the authorities actually insist on this, unless you have a valid reason for not heading home, although I'm not sure what the OP's valid reason would be in this instance, other than 'not fancying it'?
Perhaps my initial response was a little harsh, but I'm sticking with what I said. Sorry
I've highlighted and underlined some relevant bits, including dog walking.
Of course all of the info below is easily available to the OP with a quick search, so I'm of the opinion that the original question was possibly a wind up.
Another one of those to get folk to 'bite', in this instance myself. Why else would you ask on a public forum how you can get round quite specific regulations that apply to quarantining at this particular time?

How to self-isolate in your accommodation
You should self-isolate in one place for the full 14 days, where you can have food and other necessities delivered, and should
stay away from others unless you travelled to the UK with them. You must self-isolate at the address you provided on the public health passenger locator form.
This can include:
- your own home
- staying with friends or family
- a hotel or other temporary accommodation
You should not have visitors, including friends and family, unless they are providing:
- emergency assistance
- care or assistance, including personal care
- medical assistance
- veterinary services
- certain critical public services
You cannot go out to work or school or visit public areas. You should not go shopping. If you require help buying groceries, other shopping or picking up medication, you should ask friends or relatives or order a delivery.
In England, you must only exercise within your home or garden. You cannot leave your home to walk your dog. You will need to ask friends or relatives to help you with this.
NHS Volunteer Responders are also available if you need help collecting shopping, medication or would like a telephone ‘check-in and chat’. Call 0808 196 3646 (8am to 8pm) to arrange volunteer support. You can arrange one-off support, or schedule more regular help whilst you are self-isolating.
In England, you can only leave your accommodation in limited circumstances and while outside your accommodation, you should
stay alert and stay safe. These include where:
- you are travelling directly in order to leave England
- you need urgent medical assistance (or where your doctor has advised you to get medical assistance)
- you need urgent access to veterinary services (or on the advice of a veterinary surgeon)
- you have exceptional circumstances (such as those described below)
- you need to fulfil a legal obligation such as participate in legal proceedings
- to avoid injury or illness or to escape a risk of harm
In England, you can also leave your accommodation where there are compassionate grounds such as:
- going to the funeral of a family member or someone you live with
- visiting a dying or critically ill family member or someone you live with
In England, you are allowed to leave your accommodation in exceptional circumstances. This includes such things as:
- accessing basic necessities like food and medicines where you cannot arrange for these to be delivered
- moving to a different place for self-isolation where you can no longer remain where you are
There may be other exceptional circumstances which may permit you to leave your place of self-isolation. You will need to consider carefully whether your circumstances are exceptional circumstances that require you to leave your place of self-isolation.
It may be useful to seek advice from a medical or other professional to discuss your circumstances so that you can decide whether, for example, you have a health condition or a disability that would be seriously exacerbated if you were not able to leave the accommodation (and its outdoor areas) where you are self-isolating to take exercise.
You are not allowed to change the place where you are self-isolating except in very limited circumstances, including where:
- a legal obligation requires you to change address, such as where you are a child whose parents live separately, and you need to move between homes as part of a shared custody agreement
- it is necessary for you to stay overnight at accommodation before travelling to the place where you will be self-isolating for the remainder of the 14 days
- there are exceptional circumstances in which it becomes impracticable to remain at the original address
If this happens, you should provide full details of each address where you will self-isolate on the
public health passenger locator form. If, in exceptional circumstances, you cannot remain where you are staying, you must complete a new form as soon as possible.
