I understand the need for restrictions in truly vulnerable areas, but to totally ban campfires in State Park campgrounds is ridiculous.

The U.S. Forest Service is much wiser in this regard...fire restrictions are up to the individual Ranger Districts, and are based on conditions on the ground. The rules can differ wildly inside each district. As they should.
