Depends. If DW is going, its her call. DW and I did go camping 2 years ago with my 5 year old nephew on a rainy weekend. On the way there he said "you know what I like best about camping???? Not camping with my sister." If he wasn't with us we would have packed up on Saturday and gone home.

living in California, allow us to put off camping in rainy weather because it won't last long.
rainy days are so infrequent, that you can reschedule a few days later.
we have so much great weather, year-round, that you don't have to force yourself to camp in lousy weather.
other areas of the country would be different, especially those northern areas that only have a 3 month camping season.
We normally setup the canopy on the camper so we can cook outside and a 10x10 canopy over the picnic table so we can sit at the picnic table for meals or to play games. We've even sat under the canopy and watched the campfire out in the rain.
As a matter of fact, we did that at the Lackawanna Rally in Oct. - Thanks Phil! 🙂
I don't let rain deter me from a trip, I do however try to put up the Add-A-Room. It's the breakdown of camp in the rain I dislike - knowing that I have to set up again at home to dry everything out.
Camping in the rain is better than being at home in the rain......much more relaxing in the PUP. Great time for napping, reading or watching a video. Also a nice time to get out and explore the towns surrounding the CG, locate eateries of interest for future trips.
Now I will say that if the weather is to be semi-severe (high winds), and I know in advance, I might change my plans. Hate the awning flapping or the AAR separating from the awning, or having to tie the flaps up to allow the winds to come through. But thereagain, if I don't set up the awning/AAR and we have storms with wind, it's not a big deal to me.....enjoyable.
