First of all the 2022 camp hosts were the nicest, hardest working ever. We’ve enjoyed camping at Lake Mary Campground late Aug early Sept for many years now. We’ve always seen a bear or two but this year’s trip included bear activity like never before. Multiple times a day and night air horns would be blasting and people would gather together shouting “go bear” lead by one of our fearless camp hosts to coax the bear to leave. Inevitably the process would be delayed as the bear would find an open bear box, a bag of cookies or another delicious treat to delay its departure. Eventually the bear would leave and we could go back to sleep or return to camping activities.
One very large bear wasn’t afraid of any of this and seemed encouraged if anything by the crowds and the noise. It was both scary and exciting at the same time. Almost too much for me as one time the large bear was 10 feet behind me before I knew it.
We’ve always appreciated the camp hosts here but this year, 2022, the camp hosts were the best. The bears kept them very very busy and despite this the bathrooms were so clean all the time!
