Could you put some doctored bottles in the awning?
Use your imagination as to what to put in them. My dog's pee ruins grass - can't think what it would do to someone's insides! I don't take him caravanning BTW!

OH came up with this one, buy screw top beer, drink beer, pee in bottle, put bottle in cooler over night & let the scroats take it. Next morning buy more beer.
They may think you drink p*** but what a surprise they will have when they've taken a gob full

I like the 'wee in the beer bottle' suggestion personally although the laxative is more sneaky and longer lasting  - maybe smear some poo around the bottle top as well17

Can you rig a camera up too? I'm sure we would all like to see the pics when they are caught in the act !!

 You could keep a vigil of the toilet block.......anyone who is running, walking funny or makes frequent trips becomes a suspect17

You don't need laxative put out a few bars of reduced/low sugar or diabetic chocolate. It tastes absolutely lovely creamy and delightful but with one drawback one full bar causes a dicky tummy, Sainsburies do a nice innocent looking bar of it17

 Mexican chilli beer would also be a bonus addition to their feast or ordinary beer just rub the bottle tops with chilli or tabasco burnt lips on the way in burnt bottoms on the way out and you will spot them due to their swollen mouths!

A Geordie drinking his beer on a revolving stool with a pump action paintball gun sounds like a good idea- aim well my friend.

Seriously I am horrified for you in 20 odd years of camping never ever had this hope its not ruining your trip too much.
