Colorado\u2019s black bears are out and about after winter hibernation, and they are hungry.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the White River National Forest banned tents, pop-up tent trailers, truck-bed tent campers and other soft-sided shelters at a campground in Eagle County. The public safety order was issued because a bear \u201cthat shows little fear of humans\u201d damaged two unoccupied tents in separate incidents, \u201cand continues to return to the campground,\u201d the agency said.<\/p>\n

The order requires all campers at Gore Creek Campground, six miles east of Vail, to use hard-sided campers or trailers. Located at 8,700 feet, Gore Creek Campground has 24 sites. The bear has been visiting at all hours, day and night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re already starting to see bear activity in the campground this year, and we are taking this proactive step for public safety,\u201d said Eagle-Holy Cross District Ranger Leanne Veldhuis in a statement.<\/p>\n

In addition, the U.S. Forest Service \u201chas a food-storage order in place for all its developed campgrounds and many dispersed camping areas to help prevent black bears and other wildlife from obtaining food from humans and becoming a nuisance or dangerous,\u201d according to the order. \u201cEach campsite at Gore Creek Campground has a bear-resistant food locker, and there is information about proper food storage posted throughout the campground.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last summer, around this same time period, the Forest Service posted a similar band and warning at Difficult Campground, located 5 miles southeast of Aspen, after increased bear activity was reported by campers.<\/p>\n
