In Campgrounds/Lodging

Campgrounds

 
• Federal regulations require that all food and related supplies be stored in the metal storage "bear boxes" in each campsite. Each box measures 38"x48"x22".  No food storage is allowed in vehicles.

• Food and related items must be stored in bear boxes 24 hours a day (except when food is being prepared and eaten). Bears enter campsites during the day even when people are present.  Keep bear boxes latched and secured with their clips at all times.

• Dispose of garbage frequently in animal-resistant dumpsters and cans.  Never leave any garbage in your campsite, especially at night.

 

Don't leave food in your car!!!

Lodging


• Remove all food and food-related items from vehicles.

• Guests staying in hard-sided cabins must store such supplies indoors.

• Guests staying in canvas tent-cabins must store food and related items in lockers (ask at front desk for locker locations).

• Clean out trash, empty food containers, and scented articles from vehicles before leaving them parked overnight.

Picnic Areas
Stay close to your food and put it away as soon as you are finished eating. Bears may enter picnic areasy even when people are present, so be prepared to chase them off (see "Bear Safety").
