I don't know, but it sounds like a good place to be conscious about self-defense, preferably with at least a respectable handgun. If nothing else, I'd be carrying some deadfall to use as a club or staff.
But you're 100% right . . . I wouldn't be comfortable without a gun in a place like that and I'd definitely be looking to quickly make a nice stout "walking stick" out of some tree limb with the biggest bowie knife I could smuggle into the place.
