Rain in forecast not sure what to do

We have reservations this weekend no deposit or information just name exchanged for the site.
The forecast is for rain both days not sure what to do getting antsy to get back out and camp but not sure staying locked in a 16 ft travel trailer is much fun

    Oh, that's nothin'. Just means it might sprinkle a little. Go!

    If it hails, it will be brief and exciting :).
  • 50% both days .12 and .11 rainfall total with hail possible
  • You don't have to stay in your RV. Explore the area even if it's rainy. You might even see a new species of water bird for your birding lifelist! :)
  • 50% both days .12 and .11 each day rainfall total with hail possible
  • A bad day camping is better than a good day at work, or home watching the boob tube.
    Just do it! :)

    How much rain?

    Over half an inch per day = probably not worth it. Less than a quarter = it will rain off and on, you can go out when it stops and sit under awning when it's coming down. A quarter to a half = toss up.

    I've seen 2 inches in a day while camping, but that's 'cause I'm a snowbird. Not something I would go out for the weekend in :B
  • Some of the best times I've had have been in the rain. As long as no bored kids were involved. I love kids, just not ones cooped up on a rainy day.

    I'd rather be out camping in the rain then sitting at home watching it rain

    Love to sit out under awning during rain ------isn;t that what awning is for :H
