You couldn’t do that without every land owner signing up. All land is owned, the requirement (Law for England and Wales) is to have the land owners permission - not the national park.
The reason why it works for Dartmoor National Park is because the ‘commons’ are all owned by one land owner (Duchy of Cornwall). Further to that, there is the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985 providing open air recreation as well as commoners rights to grazing. This is then supported through a byelaw which lays down how wild camping shall take place i.e on the commons, not within 100m of a road, no fires and not for more that two consecutive nights on the same place. Trailers / caravans / Motorhome s etc are not permitted to stop in the car parks overnight.
....I can't see any reason for England and Wales not to have the same unfettered access to at least upland areas...

A quote from their about page: "
Nothing wrong with that unless it becomes what economists term "rent seeking".
{Hugely biased American libertarian definition of rent seeking : https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rentseeking.asp }
I see there is the prospect of "Pottery" at some of the 'Nearly Wild Camping' sites. Oh goody! How did we ever manage without this essential ingredient of wild camp craft?
With a bit of luck this scheme will crash and burn just like the other one.
Why can't people just leave things alone? (Yes I know, money to be made...)
Not even Langosta a la Catalana?I like a bit of pottery.
But I also like lobster and chocolate, but not at the same time lol!

If I wanted something a bit more organised, a cheap minimalist campsite with pottery might be quite appealing. Certainly sounds nicer and more interesting than most of the campsites I might check into halfway through/at the end of the trip to get a proper shower etc.
Out of bed on the wrong side?
...So when it looks like anything might threaten that little idyll, I'm inclined to get defensive.
