Planning A Camping Trip When It’s Raining

Did you think all camping enthusiasts sat at home and bemoaned their fate during the rainy season? Nothing could be further than the truth! Veteran, hard-core campers dont let a little or even a lot of rain dampen their adventurous spirit. Much like Gene Kelly who picked up his umbrella and went Singing and Dancing in the Rain, true campers pick up their tents and happily go Camping in the Rain. And if they are lucky, the rain may just let up long enough to let them indulge in some rambunctious singing and dancing around the campfire at night.

While camping in the rain is certainly no picnic, with having to endure slushy puddles and wet socks; it can be fun if you carry along the right attitude. Think of every puddle you step into as an amusing story to regale others with at future campfires. Soaking wet, putting-up-the-tent-in-pouring-rain stories sure beat putting-up-the-tent-under-the-moonlight stories any day.
