It amazes me the variances in basic camp site equipment from park to park and state to state. Every year I take some children out for a 2 week camping trip at the same park. That camp has no built in fire pits; you rent them or bring your own. Also no park grills but they do have a really well thought out in ground concrete lined ash dump site in every loop. I wonder sometimes who did the park's design, LOL.
State park near me does not have built in grills and also requires "raised" campfires - either rent a tub from them or bring your own. Positives are that there isn't a messy campfire spot on the campsite, and you setup your camper however you want (HUGE campsites). The state park also has the big concrete "ash dumpsters" for people to dump charcoal and/or hot ash into.
Even with these restrictions on burning, every year, multiple times a month, there is a dumpster fire at the park - because someone dumps hot coals into the dumpster when they are getting ready to leave. More than once, this has happened to a dumpster right next to one of the concrete "ash dumpsters". So there are reasons for all the rules.
