Hey /out/
This coming weekend I'm planning on taking my gf on a camping trip, but it's forecasted to rain all weekend. She's not liking the idea of camping in the rain/possible storms. So do you guys have any advice to make camping in the rain half decent or should I just scrap the trip?
There is nothing better than falling asleep with water ticking on your tent/shelter.
Make a modest Fire with a place to sit dry and it will be cozy as fuck.

Lie to her and say weather will be perfect, pack her rain gear in your pack. If she dumps you then she wasn't worth it anyways.

Rain makes everything miserable but if you are going to do it anyway, put a tarp over your tent, and a second one like in your pic to sit along the fire.
Still, prepare your anus because women get cold in no time and she'll blame it on you even if she is going by her own will.

What tent do you have op?

Aside from gear to keep you dry...
Get single serve packets of hot chocolate, ginger tea, 3 in 1 instant coffee, whatever you like. They'll be amazing. Maybe a thermos so you can make a bunch at once and keep it hot. Take the chill out of your bones when needed.
Also spending the extra on the better kinds of freeze dried meals can shut up whiners. quick and easy comfort food.
Tarps. Tarps everywhere. Make sure all your shit is seam-sealed and set up a nice little cooking/hang out area with a groundcover and rain fly. Invest in some good dry bags and bring plenty of fresh socks and don't wear fucking cotton anything.

Also, get one of those backpacking chairs. Staying off the wet ground helps a ton.
And you'll need to kawaii the shit of that camp. Make candle lanterns with soda cans so she doesn't get spooped with the dark. You don't want her to be afraid or she will fuck your shit up real nicely.
bring some travel scrabble or a pack of playing cards and a guide on how to play some 2 player games, condoms
Show that you care for her. Bring a shovel and digg a hole for her so she wont have to digg her own when she wants to take a dump.
If she's already not liking the idea DON'T DO IT.
You're all going to be miserable.
If it's the first time taking your gf camping and she's not an outdoor person, you want to make things as enjoyable for her as possible then pump up the difficulty slowly.

also op, what's the temp forecast?
Bring a compass and teach her basic navigation.

I agree with this. Camping in the rain is miserable for most people and chances are it will turn her away from the hobby and make her more hesitant to go on future trips.

The temp is suppose to be pretty decent, but I know rain will chill things down

It will do but srs if it's raining just call it off.

just make sure you both have acceptable clothing/footwear for hiking/camping in the rain.
Me, I love it. but only if I've got good, waterproof boots and a waterproof outer shell (jacket and pants o/c).
not to mention you better have your waterproofed groundcloth, tent, rain-fly sorted out and it better fucking work.
Extra measure of precaution you can spray your rain-fly, and maybe your rain jackets with a layer of Camp-dry or some other waterproofing sealant for camping gear.

Good points. Would it be worth it to invest in some large tarps?

Tarps are always usefull, but go budget, don't fall for memes.
