Sometimes it's hard to tell, because different people build different quality fire rings (most have no clue). That one is "ranger-maintained" or "approved". It's smaller, generally well-built and established, surrounded by seating and cleared of vegetation, at the right altitude, in an area that's well-traveled and used, and regularly patrolled. They'll miss a few, but not if they catch them. If they're not legal or legit, they get kicked down pretty fast. Usually at least annually. It's sort of an early season crusade for them. Aside from those criteria, I guess that the best way to tell is if it makes sense and will serve the needs of many and not just one, it's good.
