I camped for two weeks in this spot with food in the fridge of my airstream without issue, but there are black bears in the area. I never encountered any signs of bear activity, but if your pop up is soft sided, you may consider storing food on your tow vehicle. I did not cook food in my trailer, only outside, a bit away from the trailer. I believe bear activity is fairly low in this spot, but you're always better off being safer than sorry. You could check with a ranger to see if they have a different opinion.

We had a hybrid when we went (similar to a tent trailer with tent beds). We kept our food in there and were pretty high up. That being said, it's possible a bear could come, but you can check with local rangers to see about bears in the area. It's beautiful and a great place to camp! Enjoy!

I would have to say that would be fine. There are some people who camp there in tents and I don't see them putting their food anywhere. While bears could always be in the area we have not seen any during out two stays.
