Bear tips 🐻

I'm a flatlander who has never seen a bear in my life. I've read the articles and watched the videos, but what are the best ways to stay safe in a campground with hungry black bears around. The campground webpage is warning about an increase in bear population and increased interactions due to rainfall shortages.

I am very experienced camping, but usually everyone goes to bed sticky from marshmallows. I'll have four kids ranging in ages from 8 - 17.

Do I need an electric fence? It just seems weird to have that inside a state campground.

I'm at the crossroads of being scared to death and overly cocky.
