It's best to call the campground directly to get the most accurate info. For example, the above post says charcoal is prohibited at Champeog. The website last week said the same thing, However at the campground charcoal cooking fires ARE allowed, (at least all of this week, we left on friday) and people are using charcoal for cooking.
I asked a park ranger directly and they said info they recieved said charcoal cooking fires were allowed, contrary to the website.
But don't expect any campfires or propane fire pits in most campgrounds.

Not sure I understand the ban on propane firepits. What the difference between a propane firepit and a propane stove/grille?
Well because many don't think when using Fire pits. A stove or grill the flame is mostly enclosed, and maybe a couple inches in diameter. With a fire pit the pit is 18" to 24" across and I have seen flames about 18" tall! All it takes is a dry leaf to blow through that flame to start a fire.
I watched a guy in 84 degree weather at 11pm with a flame more than needed in 10 to 15 mph winds, really!
