There are certain locations where you are much more likely to encounter bears for a number of reasons, including being in bear habitat where they are foraging or along the trails that they use. For example in Glacier NP the Many Glaciers campground is far more likely to have bears around than any other in the park. These favored campgrounds are more dangerous and more people are attacked and even killed.
If you check the history of bear incidents you can find campgrounds where none have been reported and that will help a great deal in avoiding problems. There are also times of the year when the bears are more actively searching out food sources and more likely to be aggressive.
Don't assume that because the park service or forestry service or other agency put a location in a given location that it is a safe bear free area as this is often not the case.
