This is Bear Country; and deer, racoons, and skunks are also year-round residents.
Store your food out of reach.
Steel Bear Poles are planted throughout the Campground for storing your food in containers/bags
away from the hungry animals. Recent conversations with Park Rangers indicate that, when
Bears appear at Campgrounds, the Bears are typically transported to a distant location in the
Park and they normally do not return to the same Campground.
