They broke into changing rooms and toilets on the site during their week-long stay.
A clean-up operation was mounted after they left when human excrement and rubbish was found strewn around the recreation ground.
Rubbish, bags of waste and a discarded tyre, chair, gas bottle and pet carrier were among items left behind.
