Towpaths are privately owned by CRT and their status is "permissive footpath", i.e. you can use them with permission. Even if the land was publicly owned this would be irrelevant. Try camping in the grounds of an NHS hospital and see how long you get away with it.
Doesn't make any difference though as you are not allowed to camp on a Public Footpath.
The Police would disagree:

Oh so your still advising him are you? Being on the wrong side of five boat seizures obviously wasn't enough for him, he wants to add a tent to the tally now.

I just feel sorry for mr ward. Hopefully he'll accept the help he is offered before Winter sets in. I can't imagine living in a tent will be much fun in January.

If he is naive and took advice from our resident ultracrepidarian idiot then yes one could feel sorry for him.
However it is also quite likely that he is a blatant pisstaker who has never heard of the forum Troll and is just pushing the system.
Who knows?
Obviously personal contacts would know but this won't include The Troll for obvious reasons.

I believe that @ianali may have been suggesting pleasant conditions and the presence of a lady of good grace.

Towards the end of yesterday's Wiltshire Times article the following is reported :- A spokesperson for the Trust, which manages and controls 2,000 miles of canals and inland waterways, said: “Following the removal of the boat from the water, the Trust is the bailee of the boat.
“The Trust will accordingly serve a notice pursuant to the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 if it proposes to sell the boat; the Trust is also permitted to dispose of a boat under its legislation.”
Those two sentences are instantly recognisable as part of the standard claptrap that the C&RT(Ltd) relies upon to fob off anyone asking awkward questions following one of its frequent unlawful/illegal seizures and removals of someone's boat from a waterway under its control. The first statement is a calculated wilful lie, . . the second statement is wilfully misleading, . . in that the circumstances under which 'relevant craft' can lawfully be sold or otherwise disposed of under Section 8 of the British Waterways Act 1983 Act DO NOT apply in the case of George Ward and his two boats. Both statements were issued by C&RT(Ltd)'s communications orifice, but the wording is unmistakably that of Trust Solicitor-Advocate Lucy Barry, . . who is generally very careful in ensuring that she always tries whenever possible to put some distance between herself and the mis-information, the wilfully misleading double-talk, and the outright lies she produces for her employers in such vast quantities and imaginative variety. Only an organisation or company as fundamentally corrupt and asininely managed to the extent that the C&RT(Ltd) is would ever imagine it possible to get away with portraying itself as the lawful 'bailee' of goods and chattels - ie. George Ward's two boats together with contents and items aboard - that it has forcibly dispossessed the rightful owner of against his will. To act in such a manner is indicative of an organisation that is either corporately ill-intentioned and dishonest to the core, . . or is being very badly advised by either thoroughly dishonest or thoroughly incompetent lawyers. There are no alternative conclusions that can be drawn.
