I have yet to be at a SP that has not allowed a fire, maybe it has just been the timing.
Count yourself lucky. Campfire bans are very common in south Florida, during the dry season. In fact, it is almost an annual event. :M
Campfire bans are very common in "wet" Washington state as well. I understand and appreciate why the bans are put in place, but it does put a damper on things and takes away some of the magic. I am considering getting a portable propane "campfire" to use during burn bans as typically these are allowed, but it won't be the same.

We went two years without a camp fire due to bans and even when there isn't a ban, the wind is so bad that it doesn't make sense to have a fire. Last fall we got a propane pit and look forward to trying it out. It wont be the same but it ill be nice never worrying about loose embers or did I get it completely put out. A twist of the knob when we are ready and the fire is out.
Depending on the level of the ban, you may or may not be able to have a fire in a campground here. They are the last to be banned as they bring in money and people expect to have a campfire.
