It’s bad enough that so many places don’t allow wood fires but not allowing propane campfires is beyond ridiculous!
We carry in our RV a variety of equipment and supplies for a campfire and it’s so disappointing to not be able to use them and enjoy that experience.

I own a small RV park and when we are in a burning ban I have had people cancel their reservation...”Really, we can’t have a campfire?...we will book another time”

I will not book anymore places that don’t allow a campfire.

We carry along a propane firepit and an extra 20 lb. propane tank to power it in order to solve the "no campfires" problem! No fire ring to clean out or messing with firewood is required.

The flame is adjustable and comes up through the bricks in the firepit to look just like a the real thing. It puts out heat just like the real thing, cooks S'mores and hot dogs, emits no odors to bother other campers, and you just turn a knob to shut it down when going to bed.

It works like a champ for providing carefree campfires everywhere.

Amazing the number of people who apparently did not read and understand the OP!

Seems to me that is pretty clear: Banning wood fires is OK when necessary, but banning propane "campfires" is ridiculous.
I agree. I carry one of those things along with a 5 pound propane cylinder. There is no smoke, no sparks, no embers, nothing but a little propane fire. I also carry a small propane grill and a two burner propane cook stove. If the campground or RV park tells me "NO!", well, once again I am on wheels, I can leave quite quickly, never to return. I'm sure they really do not care if I leave, and they do not care about the comments I might make on a website. Y'know, I do not care whether they care or not!
