If you had booked and paid for a campsite for next week, but the forecast was bad would you go?

I guess the title says it all. We have booked and paid in full for a campsite that looks very nice for next week. However at the moment the forecast isn't great - an intoxicating combination of rain and clouds. Would you bother going or just forget it and stay at home?

I would deffo go because we went to Anglesey a couple of weeks ago and the forecast was rain for the whole week.
We set up the tent in the rain but then the sun came out and stayed out for rest of week.
The forecast doesn't really mean a thing

Exactly MM!

You have to give it a try at least.

Scanner... we stayed there last summer!! It's a lovely, basic site which is farmland off-season. My dd still talks about the playground... and it's an easy walk to the beach and several bars / restaurants on the main road. You must take a drive out to Putsborough beach - it was a tip given to us while there and we loved it. You pay a small entrance fee on to the beach but it is gorgeous. Hope you enjoy your trip and have dry nights .

I'm still going next week and i haven't even paid in full (just need a camping fix ). I've only paid a deposit
Rain is ok...it's wind that scares me
I would deffo go if i'd paid in full..and would lose the lot.
I've noticed a few sites demanding full payment up front lately.

Just take cards and lots of board games and pen and paper, possibilites are endless. These holidays are what you make them, with or without weather.

When we used to go camping, every time we put it off because of bad weather forecasts the sun would shine, so we started to ignore them and go anyway.
We never had a holiday spoiled by rain, however "why does it always rain on me?' is known as 'the camping song', but it was usually only showers, nothing too drastic.

Have just been to North Wales for a week - camping in Beddgelert in the middle of Snowdonia. It rained practically every day.

We still had a great time though, so yes, I'd still go.
