Special Note: Cuneo Creek Horse Campground is located in black bear country. Food must be stored in containers that have seals to prevent scents from attracting bears. Scented items such as toothpaste and deodorant also will attract animals. All food and scented items should be stored in coolers or sealed containers inside the truck of your car, or in bear canisters designed for this purpose. See this brochure for bear safety tips.
