Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The law in England on campsite licenses does not restrict how many days a campsite can operate for, but a license is required if camping takes place over a set amount of days in a year.
