I second the suggestion to ask the rangers.
With that, I don't think grills are a problem. Most campgrounds in bear country have cooking grills over the fire pits and there isn't usually an issue. I wouldn't put the grill away each night - then the bear will smell food in an enclosed box and do what it can to get to the food that it can't see. Instead, leave it out and away from your camper - so the bear will be able to check it out and see there is no food. Wipe it out and down after use so there's no residue.
