Yes. The Whistler area is home to both black bears and grizzly bears. However it's unlikely you will see a bear - they are usually afraid of humans and try to give us a wide berth. In general, camping in Whistler is very safe as long as you keep a clean campsite. Store all food, cooking equipment, garbage, and scented products (like toiletries) in your car, RV, or a bear-proof locker. Never store them in a tent or tent trailer. Clean up all food scraps and spills. Don't burn garbage in your campfire as it can attract animals. Read my guide to bear safety for campers.
