Long resting at any time to get your primary spells back without consequence is lame. This can be exploited, especially inside a dungeon crawl.
I personally love the whole idea of going back to camp to mingle with your party members. That is perfect. However, inside of a dungeon your party should not be able to trek all the way back to camp to rest, while surrounded by hostile enemies, and then come back to fight again, renewed. This can currently be done inside of a dungeon. It doesn't feel the same epic quality that this game has been so far.

The way it is right now, in the goblin stronghold: While fighting your way to the boss you get all screwed up by the minions. Just do a long rest, without penalization, and come right back to the spot you were at, to finish up your dungeon. Why have health pots or scrolls, or team members with heal or resurrection for that matter? You can just long rest after literally every single encounter to just do everything at full strength? Sure, you can use your pots and scrolls and spells in combat but you should have to worry what encounter your going to have to use it on, not be able to throw them out and use without caution.

My suggestions would be to create a zone based long resting situation (within certain areas or zones). For example: If you're outside in the wilderness, go back to camp for your long rest. Inside a city maybe have people go to a tavern or inn, in which the penalty for that could maybe be to spend your wealth? While in a dungeon, a small cinematic with someone on watch duty while other members sleep or study (leaving out any dialog option or switching party members), and have a chance of encounters that would interrupt your long rest. (if your worried about people experience grinding with these random encounters, make it so they don't award experience, just items off the corpses)
Or an Adventuring Day XP quota you would have to reach before being able to long rest again.
This may be a bit of work for your development team, but since this is early access you should have a bit of time...
