Absolutely not. I pick up the trash left by others and leave none of my own. My fires are well made and tended. When I leave a site I leave it better than I found it. Most campers do do such things. You, on the other hand, are clearly of the opinion that you need to dumb everything down for everyone. Possibly because it makes your life easier not to have to go and visit sites when people have left and see what they have done. If they have damaged stuff charge them for it. It's not rocket science but it does take some additional work...
Once I'm gone how is he going to charge me?
And if somebody sees your fire, and decides "I can do better!" and their bonfire distorts the siding on your camper? Hard to pin down another guest, but your lawyer can find the park owner.
Personally, I like to have a campfire in cool weather. If hot, light a candle in the ring. But most people, including me, seam to have a issue putting the fire out when they go to bed. If it is getting colder, hard not feed the fire. I solve the problem by laying the fire, fill a paper sack with kindling, and take the sack inside for the night. Early morning, put sack in fire, light it and go back inside to watch thru window while make coffee. Enjoy nice fire, have a bed of coals to fix breakfast, let it go out as the day warms.
