I would plan a short camp with your friends and invite him to come along, but don't pressure him. If he chooses to not go, you go ahead with your friends and enjoy yourself. Take plenty of pictures and tell him all the fun you had when you get back. Maybe he will change his mind if he feels like he's missing out. If not, it's alright for couples to "do their own thing" once in a while. I wouldn't give up something you love just because your husband doesn't enjoy it.

You might want to screen the pictures before you show him just how much fun you had... it might not go over as well as planned.

What is he into if he is not into the outdoors? I guess opposites attract was what was going for you when you met him?

Compromise to do something he wants to do with something that you want to do. Choose a campsite that is a bit gentler on the newbie so it would not be too traumatic for him.
