Curious as to whether anybody else had this happen to them?
Sure, lots of times. We don't like it, but it's camping and camping means campfires.
Unfortunately, yes! It's just part of the camping experience. The neighbor campers are not INTENTIONALLY making smoke. They ARE wanting fire! Their wood is wet (or green) or both, and they don't have enough dry kindling to get a good fire started. Smoke, smoke, smoke.... yes... happens a lot. Nothing you can really do. If it ever happens to you (and it may someday) ... you'll be the one with neighbors glaring down your "smoke"!
Actually, the neighbors handled themselves pretty good. They avoided confronting you and escalating a troubled moment even more. By your action, just going over, demonstrated you were pi$$ed.
No (man) likes to have his primitive Neanderthal nature challenged! Something as basic as building a campfire is one of those basic natures!
