We would like to hear from readers who have gone – or are about to go – on a camping holiday in the UK for the first time due to travel restrictions and a desire to stay within the UK.

Share your experiences

Why are you a newbie camper? Is it to cut down on costs, to spend more time outside, or to have a fun holiday with family or friends? Did you enjoy it? Where did you go?

Have you had problems buying camping kit or struggled to book a campsite? If you have already taken the plunge, what were the worst and best things about it? Are you a convert for life?
