Bear tears into camper at North Carolina campground

Black bear in woodland.

A campground in North Carolina has been forced to close for two weeks after a black bear tore the siding off a camper. The incident took place Gorges State Campground in Transylvania County on Wednesday.

North Carolina Parks and Recreation (NCPR) handled the situation quickly and calmly. "Visitors and the bear are fine, and park staff are working on implementing bear aversion tactics," officials explained in a Facebook post, which includes a photo showing the extent of the damage.
