We have experienced several pretty bad storms while camping, but I guess our worst was when we were at Point Lookout SP in Md a couple years ago. My nephew and his wife and 3 kids had come to visit us. They took off and went to the beach and I stayed at the camper with the baby, then about 7 months old. All was quiet and he was sound asleep when my phone started alarming and the weather radio went off. TORNADO WARNING! I walked out and looked at the sky and it was perfectly clear. Got on the phone and called DH. No answer. Nephew pulled in with his his and daughter, who was in need of a nap. Told them about the warning, headed for the bath house. DH and my kids pulled in about that time, too. All of us headed for the bath house.
We get there and put the kids in the shower stalls and walked back out and there in the sky over the trees was a small funnel cloud! We had a little bit of rain, but not lots. Picture taken, but I can't find it right now. DH didn't believe me even seeing the picture. The next day, the front page of the local newspaper was about a Class 1 tornado touching down about 1/2 mile from the park.
Scary few moments, but no damage done to the park.
