I pretty much enjoy camping in all kinds of weather... It can be quite miserable if it's really really hot mostly because I can't stay cool enough to sleep well at night... But it's alright.
Sometimes the mosquitoes and biting flies are abundant, and that can be a problem... But it's usually alright.
Although I can and will be dry (bank on it!) I must say a rainy trip is my least favorite kind. It stinks to have to huddle under the tarp (Once my father, sister, and I stayed over 12 hours under an army poncho... my sister was about 8yrs) all day... It stinks for fire building (although, unless it's a heavy rain, it can be done with a little extra work...)
But the worst part is packing up and bringing home all the wet equipment.... then having to get it all back out and make sure it dries. Lay out every bungee and rope and tarp and tent and let them bake in the sun... unless it's still raining!!! That's a real bummer and gets my vote.
But still, rain camping is way better than no camping at all!
