For years, the state parks in Connecticut were "dry", no alcohol. As other have stated about some campgrounds, the Rangers were very discretionary about it - using that rule to kick out jerk campers. It was great!
They've started officially allowing alcohol the last few year, and again as someone else posted, it will probably be banned again due to jerk campers.
Firewood bans are odd to me... seem to be random. In New England, most of the firewood bans refer to out-of-state firewood - as long as the firewood comes from nearby the campground (like nearby roadside stands), it is okay. Have these firewood bans actually helped or prevented anything?
We were camping last year near Lexington, Massachusetts. The campground was selling bundles of firewood, as Mass has the no outside wood ban. Okay, great. We go to the camp office to get a couple bundles, and I happen to notice that the bundles are from.... New Hampshire!
Yea, yea, I read that they were supposedly "insect free", but it made me laugh.
