So far the worst thing that has happen to me was I had a gas can stolen from my camp site. This was at Stampede Res., I talked to several other campers and they had fishing equipment stolen on the same night. BTW this campground had a host, so much for them looking out for you. Keep an eye out for your own safety.
Some food for thought:
A few years ago I read an article on the safety of hiking the appalachian trial (I think it was in backpacker mag). What it came down to was they were able to find 12 murders that happen on the trail since mid 70s. They felt the trail was as safe or safer then the rest of the US. The reasoning behind this was that the trial is 2200 miles long, and if you were to draw a 2200 mile line anywhere in the US the murder rate would be higher then this section of the US.
