One of the best things I like about RVing is having a campfire and sitting around watching the flames and talking! Hard to beat!!!

We almost never have a campfire. The only time we do is with the grandkids and we are making smores.
Smores over a gas grill is just immoral.
One of the reasons we boondock and stay away from RV parks.

The campground issued wood ignites like gasoline and takes all the fun and challenge out of it.....

I personally don't think the restrictions have any real benefit. Nasty bugs have a habit of traveling to greener pastures just fine on their own and prohibiting fire wood is sort of like peeing on a forest fire. But bureaucrats, even forest management types, have to do something, so we get useless restrictions that are easy to write and enforce. And campgrounds are likely to be enthusiastic supporters, since it gains revenue for them as well.
Deep in their heart of hearts, both forest rangers and campground owners would love to do away with all fires. Would make their life much easier...
