Probably the storm will go up the east coast and be minimal but get ready anyway.
Fill your water tank, empty your black and grey tanks, have plenty of generator fuel; expect no services for several days. Note that you may get evacuated from the park.
Window covers and all canvas in, everything outside put away and levelers down. Look up to see if maybe you need to move to another site that doesn't have overhanging limbs or nearby tall pine trees.
Do all this by Sunday evening. Good luck!
That pretty much covers it. Make sure you have plenty of water and propane and medications that you might need. Fill your vehicle with gasoline and get some cash out of the ATM. The ATMs, gas pumps, and credit card machines at the store might not be working if you loose power for any length of time. If the storm get's above a cat 1 consider heading out of the path. My rule of thumb is that I'll stay put through a cat 2, but anything higher and we head for the hills.
I was in Panama City during Hurricane Opal. It was a cat 4 and heading straight at us so we evacuated to Alabama. It took us 6 hours to go 60 miles, so if you plan on leaving do it early. The storm turned and hit the campground we had evacuated to with 106 mph winds. We were in a valley, so we were somewhat sheltered, but we lost power in the early evening and the trailer rocked like we were on a roller coaster. When we came out of the RV the next morning there were downed oak trees all around us and several had hit other RVs. Roads were closed, power was out. Gasoline wasn't available for almost a week due to power failures.
