Lots of deer in WV parks no hunting allowed in state parks.was sitting reading one night after every one else was in bed had a skunk walk under my chair. did not read very long that night.
One of the best things about camping is enjoying nature. Critters are part of the whole adventure. Makes it interesting!
One time we left some chips on the table, about 1 foot behind us. We heard a crunching sound, turned and there was a racoon holding the bag. I said "shoo", so he got a better grip on the bag and jumped off the table. Practically full bag, too. To make it worse, he went into the bushes right next to the campsite and proceeded to finish snacking down on the chips. We could hear him crunching. Definately made for a good story!

We tent camped in Yellowstone about 12 years ago and were warned about bears. You coulnd't have anything with any fragrence or odor in your tent because of the bears....well that set the tone for the wife. Nothing happened except for the howl of the wolves all night. We were a little nervous about that but we still remember it very well to this day. Plenty of bison walking around there too.

Caught this buck between the back door to my house and the TT parked less than 50' from the back door. That is a tire swing hanging from a oak tree in the back yard. Alabama, the beautiful.
Columbia Encyclopedia
Peccaryp?k'?r?, small wild pig, genus Tayassu, the only pig native to the Americas. Although similar in appearance to Old World pigs, peccaries are classified in a family of their own because of anatomical differences. Peccaries have downward-curved tusks with which they fight ferociously when threatened. They have large heads and long snouts; both sexes have scent glands on the rump. There are two peccary species. The collared peccary, or javelina, Tayassu tajacu, is the more common, ranging from the SW United States to Argentina and inhabiting many types of country, from tropical swamps to dry scrub regions. It is about 20 in. (50 cm) high at the shoulder and weighs about 50 lb (23 kg); it has grizzled gray-black hair marked with a white neck band and an erectile mane on the neck. Collared peccaries move about in small family groups, eating roots, fruits, insects, worms, and reptiles. The white-lipped peccary, T. albirostris, is found in smaller numbers in forests from S Mexico to N Argentina. Reddish brown to black, with white lips and cheeks, it is somewhat larger than the collared peccary and more predacious in its habits. White-lipped peccaries move about in large herds foraging for food and hunting small mammals. Peccaries are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia, order Artiodactyla, family Tayassuidae.

My most incredible morning moment, a few years ago camping on NFS (no campground) we awoke early one morning, made coffee and proceded to watch two mountain lions make their way across the side of the mountain just across the river from us, They played with each other and sticks, leaves, and any thing that moved resulting in an almost 2 hour show for us. was the most incredible thing we have seen. And wouldn't you know I forgot my camera (home on the charger)It is something I will not ever forget.

as long as you kept reading you were fine, he would just keep moving on...
at that point you can only hope the dog don't wake and bark at him...
Not to get off topic but whats the difference between a Peccary and a wild hog? They appear to look the same don't they? Just trying to get educated here...
NOTE - I should of read the rest of the responses and I would have learned. Thanks!
