Right there with you. That kind of behaviour is selfish and so not on. Even if they don't think they are going to start a bushfire, they are demonstrating a disrespect for sensible rules that threatens the campgrounds (I assume you are talking about the Pines) for everyone else. If only because they will send rangers over more often, consequently need more rangers, and the camp fees are jacked up because of the extra staff.
