For us it's not camping if there is no fire. I would have one every night if we had enough dry wood. Having said that, I don't like the idea of fires in crowded campsites. It's not pleasant for those that can't tolerate the smoke. I have fond memories of sitting around a fire while boondocking with friends. We were on BLM land and spaced far enough from others.
At home we have a summer place in an RV Park. No fires allowed on your private lot due to closeness to your neighbour but at the lakefront beach area there are community fire pits with benches. It's the best place to socialize and meet people. When you are tired or fed up with annoying drunks, simply wander off to your private lot. Perfect arrangement.
