I've camped in lots of conditions, some that come to mind would be getting trapped in a blizzard in Manitoba on June 3-6. Another one involves a tornado near Mobridge, SD. The week I spent in Alaska during driving rainstorms ranks up there too, it blew and rained so hard we couldn't hear each other talk in the tent. I've camped in January near the Canadian border in -20 conditions. Other times I've had windstorms blow my tent down in 3 states and 2 provinces.

All that said, the very worst camping experience I can remember though was during a week of 100+ temperatures on the Missouri River north of Pierre, SD. Even swimming didn't help cool off.
