Over the years, I generally camp at private RV parks and campgrounds such as KOA Kampgrounds or dry camp with E Clampus Vitus (an historical drinking society or a drinking historical society, take your pick) in BLM areas. Having alcoholic beverages have never been an issue.
RV Travel has posted that some state parks have different rules pertaining to alcoholic beverages. It depends upon the state.

Having alcoholic beverages in any of them was never an issue, especially at the Bothe-Napa Valley State Park that is nestled among the wineries.
