Our first day & night went off without a hitch. We kept the campground clean & clear of food debris, while storing food in the cars.
The second day, we enjoyed the beach & some of our party left. Upon leaving, multiple people, who left a separate times saw a bear on the main road.
One of the moms went to the camp host to inquire about bear activity & a rumor that the campground was not fully open due to the bear activity. The camp hosts denied there was an issue & sent the mom on her way.
After dinner, the same mom was at the main campground washing dishes. When she returned back to the group campground, the rest of the moms were scattered. Some were keeping kids safe in cars, while others were banging on pots and pans, throwing rocks & shooting off firecrackers at a bear that was about 15' from the campground. The bear just sat & watched, unphased. Further down at the next group campsites, the campers were away, so the bear took advantage of this time to sniff around and climb up on their table.
We sent a mom to go ask the camp hosts for help distracting the bear, while we packed up our things. She was met with an annoyed man who asked her if she was sure that the bear wouldn't leave. They did finally come to help but, they arrived with mace and more firecrackers. Thankfully, they stayed until everyone was packed up.
This situation could've been avoided had the camp hosts been honest with us. We were put in a situation where we forced to rush to pack up, with extremally frightened children screaming & crying; as the sun was setting.
I reached out to the Dept of Forestry & was told this has been an ongoing problem for years. I feel that this information should be made available to future campers prior to booking. The last mom to leave said the bear came and sat on thetableagain
