No firearms.  I have bear deterrents that I will bring if people are worried about them.  I am not familiar with the Hell Hole bears, but I regularly deal with bears for work and I am not the least bit worried about the campground.

Not that a gun is needed, but it is French Meadows that is part of the game refuge. no guns are allowed in or traveling through the reserve.
There may be a ban in the campground itself but certainly not Hellhole or the surrounding area.

I like to follow the rules with the rest of them, BUT stupid gun bans in the forest I do NOT follow.

Keep a clean camp and there will be no bear issues.  And if one tries to take your little salmon you just have to know how to handle them.

Just hang your smelly stuff. Used to deal with bears a lot myself. No big deal. Bang two pots together a scare them off.

You are right, but I ask that people do not bring firearms on my public hookups.

Bottom line: If you can't camp without your gun, then don't come on this hookup.
