bonnie lake resort, was 4 years ago in july for 4 nights
go ahead and rat me out,,, come on call them,,,, ooooo maybe they won't let me camp there again,, ooooooo.
As I said I normally don't waist my money staying at private parks so my list will be short, the others may have more to add
as for the places I do frequent,, provincial, national and conservation areas(in On.), they all allow kiln dried lumber. pretty much all of them have it as standard procedure to ask when you register "did you bring any fire wood?" and my answer is always "yes, its kiln dried lumber scraps,,, would you like to inspect it?" the majority smile and say "no sir enjoy your stay" . only a couple have ever came out to look, and were happy with what they saw.
ohhh yes I do carry,,,in my trailer neatly folded in an envelope,,, a letter from the superintendent of Ont parks stating kiln dried lumber is acceptable in all the provincial parks in Ont,,, just in case I do get a wise a$$ gate attendant.
Now,,, no I do not believe any one should be transporting raw logs,,,,, or raw logs as firewood between different areas spreading possible infestations further, thats said I call B S as to the cost of a bag of wood when a cord can be bought for $50 to $80 dollars depending on where you are, when farmer john sells you a bundle for the same or lower 2x the size the bag the park sells you for $7 or $8 and its dry, and he lives 1/2 a mile down the road from the park.
but hey thats private enterprise you can charge as much as you want for whatever you want to sell, just don't expect anyone to buy it if its to high. around here we can buy wood in an area such as from farmer John and use it in the park, you are best to get a receipt from farmer john or at the least write down his address, and in all the Gov parks that is acceptable, however in some like the one I mentioned they will not even allow that, and other private parks are jumping on that band wagon as well,,,,,, another reason I won't waste my money at a private park,,, like I said once the foot is in the door they will go for more, like ice, or bait, maybe marshmallows, someone will figure out a way. greed is human nature.
before you bark at me like a little chiwawa about coming to your state parks and that letter is no good or about me getting whatever cause the rules are different there, how your gonna call Obama himself and rat me out,,,, read what I wrote,,,, carefully,,,, I said provincial national and conservation >>> (in On.)<<< If I plan a trip elsewhere I would inquire about the local laws and respect as such, as I do here, and I doubt I would even attempt to cross the boarder with a restricted material,such as firewood of any kind.
But don't really give a rats whatever about some private park who thinks they are beyond the law,,,, but I usually avoid them anyways.
