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?

You can get in touch by filling in the form below. Your responses are secure as the form is encrypted and only the Guardian has access to your contributions.

One of our journalists will be in contact for publication before we publish, so please do leave contact details.
