If you do not like campfires, don't go to "Campgrounds" that have fire rings and permit fires. It's really that easy. Up in the Northeast / Mid Atlantic, the public campgrounds be they State or Fed/USACE, were built to be campgrounds for camping. They all permit fires and all have fire rings. They were not built to be overnight stops for travelers or to be long term accomodations for full timers. They are for the residents of those areas to be able to get out and experience nature. Campfires have always been a part of that experience and always will be.
If you want to "RV", go to RV Parks or Resorts.
Some just need a line drawn in the sand definition I suppose.
That's wonderful you can do that. Go to a campground that has fire rings while you're rving, build a fire or not?, your choice. Don't expect to not get some smoke from those that do. Go to a packed in RV park without fire rings. Enjoy.
It does not change the purpose for which a lot of facilities were built for. You hear
the B&M all the time on these boards, usually from RVers. Tree branches, small sites, out of level sites, unpaved sites, 30 amp only, campfires, dogs, etc. They want to RV, and have every location fit their description of it and meet every need.
