So far, it is just for a week or so. Maybe the park staff can discourage the bear and get it to leave. Hate to see it destroyed.

Bear problem

It's not a bear problem, it's a people problem. We've already decimated the bear population, no need to kill more.

Tents and Soft-sided Campers Temporarily Prohibited at Mount Pisgah Campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway Due to Bear Activity. Blue Ridge Parkway officials announced that beginning today through June 24, 2021, tents and soft-sided campers are temporarily prohibited at Mount Pisgah Campground.

Interesting, wouldn't take much for one to destroy a hard sided RV either.
