Alcohol In Campgrounds, alcohol Options

[foor]

I submit should alcohol allowed or not be added as criteria in the reviews. Please do not misunderstand my intent, I am not an excessive drinker, but enjoy a few drinks around the campfire to disconnect from the week. I am simply saying there are campgrounds, I have visited, that do not disclose an alcohol policy on their website & you discover a no alcohol statement on the rental agreement. I have "hidden" a drink in a plastic cup at state & private parks where it is prohibited. Whereas, on other weekends not had one drink at all. What do you think?

A Big Yes !!

As long as your quiet, discrete and able to use some common sense (which it sounds like you are) no one will most likely bother you. The reason for these no alcohol statements/policys is so they can throw out the idiots that are unable to control them self's when it comes to alcohol.

I look for campgrounds with strong "enforced" alcohol policys and appreciate it when I read it in the reviews.

Having worked in several state parks as camp host I can validate that this is a true statement.

That will be a plus one here about the rules.I will not say what parks but a few of the park workers recycle beer cans to go in there kitty for stuff.The rule is there if needed.I don`t walk around with a can in my hand for what little beer I do drink.Just get a cup or a cover for it.I have also seen bars set up at some rallies with no hassle from any one in state and Federal parks.

I hosting at a CG that was on a lake. When I made my rounds thru the CG, I would find the bigger groups who were mostly fishermen. I knew that there was going to be an abundance of beer and soda cans. So I would always take them a large garbage can so they could use it for their empties. I also put a couple near the dock so the boaters could dispose of their cans.

Over the course of the summer, I recycled enough aluminum cans to pay for all the gas I used being a tourist during my off time.....plus keep it out of a land fill.
