Hi,

It depends on how remote your campsite is. There are bear, elk, white tail deer, bobcats, lots of birds......Camping in or near the National Forests would increase the likelihood of spotting a bear.

Have fun!

thank you nani rose.what kind of bears and is it safe?

Here's a link to Arkansas bear info: www.agfc.com/critters/wildlife_bear_p2.html

My husband spotted one last spring on the Kings River. They are very frightend of humans....but do a little research before venturing out in the woods.

We also have red fox and coyotes practically in our back yard.

I love wildlife!!

Black bears only - no Grizzlies in Arkansas. The black bears run away at the slightest sound.
