They can and do prosecute people as it has been reported in our local paper before, I would imagine that they mostly act on tip offs, so if someone reports that you are going camping with a TV and were able to give details of where you lived, where you were going etc, they would send people to the house and camp site to investigate.

I would also imagine that they use the database which lists who has paid the fee and only target the addresses with no record of having a TV license.

I believe there are also times when they can and do have to provide information about people staying on site, I know that hotels have to keep records of residents for 6 years.
