I suppose it was bound to happen but there has been a sudden surge of 'wild camping' on private land and in beauty spots in England (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jul/19/it-was-like-a-bomb-had-hit-an-off-licence-rise-in-wild-camping-hits-beauty-spots). This is presumably because pitches in licensed camps are at a premium (not all sites are re-opening as yet, and densities at those that have, have been reduced). The really bad down side is that many of the people 'fly camping' abandon their cheap camping gear and litter the environment with their waste. I suspect that some of the activities of these 'campers' might well increase the risk of Covid-19 transmission (and they are hardly in a position to be traced and tracked).
