They are reminding the public not to do this without written permission as camping can damage the habitat and potentially injure the deer.

They said: "Officers at #RichmondPark and #Bushypark have noticed an increase in camping within @theroyalparks

"Park users are reminded that tents and enclosures are not allowed without written permission, as they can damage park habitat and may injure the resident deer herds.
