I think they sold ice every day at some of the Pods for a few bucks a bag. The problem was carrying them back to our tent which was a really long walk to the closest Pod.

One morning we had a guy who came in with a pick up truck full of ice and was selling it for more but we didn't have to carry it so we paid the extra few bucks.

There are places to buy ice all throughout the campgrounds.

There were some places we saw that were selling cheap ice at 2 bucks a bag but carrying it back was rough at times. Prices can be a little more but most places weren't too unreasonable.

Bring a little red wagon with you to cart the ice back to camp. I have brought one every year and it is a major load off my back. It is also nice to carry those solar showers back to camp with.

Each year I've brought a 5-day cooler and have still had a few cubes floating on Monday morning. As long as you're not always in and out of it, most good coolers should keep you covered for the whole fest. Make that cooler your ice cooler and have a smaller cooler to transfer stuff into, so you're not always digging through the ice cooler and letting out all the icy goodness!

I think its $4 a bag, be sure to get your ice before night because they close down at night except the one at the front.

We used a 5 day cooler and used dry ice in the bottom. I think we bought ice on the last day, but if my boyfriend knew how to close the cooler, we probably wouldn't have had to

once again, tons of great info! thanks to all that replied.

sounds like bringing two coolers is the way to go. one cooler for stuff like cold drinks where i can replenish the ice if needed and one for meats, etc to cook that will be kept cold with dry ice. i think it would be great to bring some meat to bbq and, of course, keeping that stuff cold is vital.

thanks!

I was looking into getting some dry ice for last year but other things wound up taking priority. One of my friends had told me that you needed a medical license to obtain it, but I don't think thats the case. Im pretty sure you can walk into alot of bev distros and get it.
Could anyone clear this up for me?

Thanks for the info. No Krogers by me, but I'm pretty sure they built a Walmart in my garage last month.

You can get it in most grocery stores (around here, at least). Regardless, you don't need any kind of license to get it. It's definitely a wise purchase, but don't forget about the other/additional options. Freeze all of your water bottles ahead of time and you won't really need ice for the first couple of days, if at all. Not only does that keep your stuff cold, but it helps ration-out your supply. Drink it as it thaws and you'll never run out.

its just frozen carbon dioxide. it just thaws and turns into gas form and becoms air. but it will freeze stuff in the cooler. so you might blow up some beers . but if you wrap it in a towel or news papers and put water around it and then put in beer and pop you should be good.

We only buy a bag or two right before we get into manchester, just to chill some water and beer for our arrival and setting up, then once we get in we locate the ice truck and get ice as needed and take turns buying a few bags each. We were so lucky last year at camp darth vader, the portos and and ice truck were out neighbors

i always try to get ice first thing in the morning. it dosent melt as much on the walk back to camp. and then its done and out of the way. and i often pick up another bag midday on the way from centeroo to camp. it feels pretty good to have a bag of ice on your head or back as you walk back to camp. our cooler are constantly being opened thoug. we drink beer at a rapid pace. and open oit alot to take ice and put it under our hats if its hot. which it always is. so we go through alot of ice.

I usually bring a couple of bags back on my way "home" (if needed) after i'm done for the day. It's dark and I tend to need some sort of wake-up call by then.

Don't stress out too much about having to get dry ice. While it would help your ice from melting if you just pack a cooler full of ice you shouldnt need to buy any there and if you do it would only be once.

I blew so much money on ice at the last Roo. Get a five day cooler, put a block of dry ice on the bottom and frozen water bottles on top of that. Cover that with a towel and put your meat and dairy on top of that. Those items will be fine for the weekend as long as you don't open the cooler all the time. Minimumize items that need to be kept cold as much as possible. This will make it soooo much easier in the end. I had to learn this the hard way.

I loved getting ice during the day, it is so cooling while you carry it, and it looks that you are doing a selfless act of kindness to the rest of your camp. I am thinking of getting a bag of ice soley for me to sit on in the morning.

ya know, a 1/2 bag of ice inside a 'dry bag' (the kind you use to keep stuff dry while in a canoe, etc.) can be your best friend in the world about 8 AM inside your tent.

I loved the advice about freezing my water bottles and such last year. We also put water inside Tropicana OJ bottles that we had washed. The plastic is white and thick. Our bottles still had ice chunks in them on Sunday.
