I stated in the Hosack Run part because I brought my dog. 133 is right along the creek and is one of the few that has some privacy. This is best for a small camper or sleeping van. Beautiful site.
I am afraid of bears how likely am I going to encounter on while staying and sleeping in a tent @ Hosack Run? If I do what do I do scream run or stay calm?
Hi Jennifer,
It is rare that you’ll encounter a bear while stay/sleeping in your tent. Remember to keep all food and anything else that smells (like chapstick, toothpaste, etc.) out of your tent and in a bear box/food storage locker. If you put the food/items in your vehicle make sure they are well hidden as bears do know how to get into vehicles, especially if they think they see/smell food.
If, by chance, a bear does come sniffing around your tent you should make as much noise as possible – banging pans together, yelling at bear, etc.
