I know everyone keeps asking this question. Can you bring in alcohol? And do you need to hide it? This is my groups first year at SC, we are camping in the tent area. Do they check everything when you come in? Or just your coolers? Like you bags? Where is the best place to hide your Alcohol. Thanks

They didn't check anything when I came in. They just showed me to a spot. Keep it out of sight. Keep it in a red cup when drinking. Low key. I fill the cooler ahead of time, I put the bottles in a back pack. Take the bag for the chair or tent back out to the car if you can't hide it all in one trip. Out of sight to come in, in a cup once you're there. It's not like Coachella. They don't search every nook and cranny.

THey do check backpacks, ice chests etc. Last year one guy even had to throw away his jello shooters.

I didn't see anyone getting checked coming in to the campground. Didn't hear of anyone either. I guess just be low key and you should be fine.

We were paranoid last year (ok, I'm the paranoid one), so we put the beer at the bottom of the cooler, filled it with ice, then put the waters on top of the ice. They ended up not doing or checking a thing. They just showed us to our site...one "camp counselor" helped us carry the cooler too.

So.....is a 30 pack in my ice chest ok, or not? Maybe I'll try what the PP said and put the beer on the bottom and fill it with ice with waters (and water bottles filled with vodka) on top.

They never even stopped our car when we pulled into the Forum parking. Just directed us in. We had hid bottles in random places in the vehicle just in case but we were never stopped. When you're drinking in the campground just be low-key and use cups. Shouldn't be a problem.

Last day (last year) in the afternoon after re-entering...we observed them checking water bottles, pill bottles and anything else you can think of for smuggling alcohol. They're getting smarter each year!

Really? See, these stories have me worrying now. What about after you're setup, are there a lot of people on patrol? Will they go through my ice chest? I think we might be ok if there's just 2 of us and we don't look crazy. Well, too crazy anyhow...

Ohhhh, ok, awesome. I'm not trying to sneak alcohol into the concert anyhow, so no worries. I half though about a beer pong table, but figured they wouldn't allow that in the forum even if you use red cups, huh?

I had to Google it, too! Haha hilarious! I've only heard the game called donkey balls. I guess ladder balls is the kid friendly way of saying it.

YES! I saw it there last year and it looked cool! Then at work a few months ago we had a carnival day and my coworker kept raving about "snakes" which is what he calls it!
