I wasn't camping there at the time, but a Park Ranger at Yellowstone was
giving a lecture on what not to do while camping.... She advised (not sure if
it was mandatory) to keep all your cooking gear, your trash, AND the clothes
you were wearing while cooking that day, locked in the trunk of you car, and
to park said car a far distance from your actual campsite during the night.
They said the problem of bears coming down for a meal from the campers was
such a problem, that they did shoot a couple of bears that no longer showed
any fear of humans, and mingled casually around campsites.
