I think your biggest worry would be someone asking you for some of your Doritos.

What is it you are concerned about? Most people that indulge in these States are over 65. Surprise!

It’s not like it’s Woodstock and everyone is standing around smoking pot singing kubaya and chanting

If you want to worry about something, worry about impact wrenches, pooping, barking dogs, screaming kids, and not being able to find a place to park.

As I indicated in my post, a co-worker was in CO and in a downtown area, the second hand smoke was heavy. That's what I want to avoid. The majority of responses here confirmed that we don't have to worry.

Campfires create 50x the stink and smoke

It's now legal in Calif, too, and we have not had any problems. We have, however, heard some loud drunk folks playing music. (I know they were drunk because we saw a lot of empties in the morning.)

I think marijuana tends to make the party people a little quieter than alcohol does, but I am just speculating -- I don't know from personal experience!

Renee, if you want a quiet campground, my advice is to avoid holiday weekends, and avoid areas in easy driving distance from big cities.

Thank you.

We'll be visiting some quiet campgrounds - Skull Hollow for one - but that one is popular with the rock climbers.

It does. Alcohol makes some folks very loud and belligerent.

It is legal here but I have not noticed usage any more than usual. I go out of my way to avoid it, can't stand the smell.

Thank you for your feedback! I didn't think there would be considering that we would be camping in various state parks. I appreciate the serious feedback, including the not so serious one - "Dave's not here".

Daves not here.
